THEORIES OF MALNUTRITION‐NEW THEORIES
•Free radical theory
•Aflatoxin poisoning
5
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
Free oxygen radicals are potentially toxic to cell membrane and are produced during various infections These oxides are normally buffered by proteins and neutralized by antioxidants such as Vit. A, C & E and selenium In malnourished child deficiency of these nutrients in the presence of infection or aflatoxin may result in the accumulation of toxic – free oxygen radicals These may damage liver cells giving rise to Kwashiorkor.

IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
A. General principles for routine care (the’10 steps’) B. Emergency treatment of shock and severe anemia
C. Treatment of associated conditions D. Failure to respond to treatment E. Discharge before recovery is complete
MANAGEMENT
23
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 24
• These steps are accomplished in two phases: • an initial stabilization phase where the acute medical conditions are managed; and
• a longer rehabilitation phase.
• Note that treatment procedures are similar for marasmus & kwashiorkor.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR ROUTINE CARE
24
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 25
THE 10 STEPS
25
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 26
Blood sugar level <54 mg/dl or 3 mmol/L
Assume hypoglycemia when levels cannot be determined.
CONSCIOUS CHILD‐ 50 ml bolus of 10% glucose by nasogastric (NG) tube.
UNCONSCIOUS CHILD, lethargic or convulsing ‐IV sterile 10% glucose (5ml/kg), followed by 50ml of 10% glucose or sucrose by NG tube.
Start two‐hourly feeds, day and night
STEP 1. TREAT/PREVENT HYPOGLYCAEMIA
26
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 27
• If axillary temperature <35oC, take rectal temperature
• If the rectal temperature is <35.5oC (<95.9oF):‐ rewarm the child: 2 layer clothes, cover with
warmed blanket & place a heater or lamp nearby or put the child on the mother’s bare chest (skin to skin) and cover them – Kangaroo mother care
‐ feed straightaway
STEP 2. TREAT/PREVENT HYPOTHERMIA
27
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 28
• Difficult to estimate dehydration using clinical signs alone
• Assume all children with watery diarrhea may have dehydration
• Do not use the IV route for rehydration except in cases of shock
• Continue feeding
STEP 3. TREAT/PREVENT DEHYDRATION
28
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 29
Basic format remains the sameSome signs unreliable• Mental state• Mouth, tongue and tears• Skin turgor• Urine output: quantity/color/osmolarityEdema and hypovolemia can coexist
ASSESSMENT OF DEHYDRATION IN SEVERELY MALNOURISHED CHILDREN
29
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 30
DIAGNOSIS OF DEHYDRATION IN SEVERELY MALNOURISHED CHILDREN
• History of diarrhea ( with large volume of stools)
• Increased thirst • Recent sunken eyes• Prolonged CFT, weak/absent radial pulse, decreased or absent urine flow
Difficult using clinical signs alone Best to assume that all with watery diarrhea have some dehydration
Treat with ORS unless shock is present30

OPTIONS
• Low osmolarity ORS with potassium supplements
• ReSoMal (not available in India)IAP endorses the use of LOW OSMOLARITY WHO ORS for all types of diarrhea and nutritional status for logistics and programmatic advantages.
WHICH ORS SHOULD BE USED IN SEVERE MALNUTRITION?
33

ConsciousUnconscious
Resomal
ONLY Rehydrate until the weight deficit (measured or estimated) is corrected and then STOP – DO not give extra fluid to “prevent recurrence”
IV fluid
Ringer lactate & 5% dextrose at 15ml/kg the first hr & reassess
5ml/kg /30min for first 2hrs
‐ If improving, 15ml/kg 2nd hr;
‐ If conscious, NGT: ReSoMal
‐ If not improving =Septic shock
TREATMENT OF DEHYDRATION
34
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 35
• Plasma sodium may be low though body sodium is usually high. Sodium supplementation may increase mortality.
• Potassium & Magnesium are usually deficient and needs supplementation; may take at least two weeks to correct.
• Edema if present is partly due to these imbalances. Do NOT treat edema with a diuretic
STEP 4. CORRECT ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE
35
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 36
POTASSIUM
• In SAM children, there is too little potassium inside cells.
• All SAM children should be given potassium supplements (3‐4 mmol/kg/day) for 2 weeks.
• Potassium Chloride syrup is the most available medicine of which every 15ml contains 20 mmol potassium.
Give extra potassium daily for 2 weeksDo not treat oedema with diuretic since most diuretics increase loss of potassium and make electrolyte imbalance worse.
36
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
MAGNESIUM
• In SAM children, there is too little magnesium inside cells.
• On 1st day 0.3 ml/kg of 50% magnesium sulphate (up to a maximum of 2ml) should be given IM once.
• After this from 2nd day onwards magnesium should be given orally (0.1ml/kg/day/0.4‐0.6 mmol/kg/day) X 2 weeks.
Give extra magnesium daily37
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
Usual signs of infection, such as fever, are often absent. Give broad spectrum antibiotics to all. Hypoglycemia/hypothermia usually coexistent with infection. Hence if either is present assume infection is present as wellNo complications ‐ Co‐trimoxazole / AmoxicillinSeverely ill ‐ Ampicillin + GentamicinIf the child fails to improve clinically within 48 hours, add: cefotaxime/ceftrioxone as per Facility based ‐ FIMNCI
STEP 5. TREAT/PREVENT INFECTION

STATUS ANTIBIOTICSInfected child or complications* present
IV AMPICILLIN 50 mg/kg/dose q 6hrly and IV GENTAMICIN 2.5 mg/kg/dose q 8hrly/ once daily
Add IV CLOXACILLIN 100 mg/kg/day q 6hrly if staphylococcal infection is suspected.
For septic shock or No improvement or worsening in initial 48 hours
Add third generation cephalosporins i.e. IV CEFOTAXIME 100 mg/kg/day q 8hrly

• All severely malnourished children have vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Vitamin A orally on Day 1 • Give daily :
– Multivitamin supplement– Folic acid 1 mg/d (give 5 mg on Day 1)– Zinc 2 mg/kg/d– Iron 3 mg/kg/d after first week
STEP 6. CORRECT MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES
40
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 41
HOW TO CORRECT VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY ?
Vitamin A orally IMMEDIATELY on Day 1‐ unlessthere is definite evidence that a dose has beengiven in the last month or if bilateral edema < 6 months ‐‐ 50,000 IU or 0.5 ml 6‐12 months ‐‐ 100,000 IU or 1 ml > 12 months ‐‐ 200,000 IU or 2 ml In edematous patient, give one dose once edema has subsided.Repeat dose on day 2 and day 14 if there is any sign of xerophthalmia, as children can go
blind very quickly – WITHIN HOURS!
41
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
HOW TO CORRECT ANEMIA?
DO NOT give iron initially
Giving iron too early is DANGEROUS because the blood may have too little
protein to bind the iron and keep it safe.
Unbound iron can stimulate the growth of bacteria and make infections
worse.
Start iron supplements in the catch‐up/rehabilitation phase when there has
been time for iron to be bound and antibiotics to reverse the infection.
42
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
HOW TO CORRECT ANEMIA ? Cont…
Fe 3mg/kg body weight per day.
If the anemia is very severe (i.e. severe pallor of the
palms of the hands) and there is a risk of heart
failure, then treat with a very carefully administered
small blood transfusion.
43
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
To correct deficiencies of riboflavin, ascorbic acid, pyridoxine, thiamin and fat soluble vitamins –ADEK‐ give Multivitamin Supplement (without Iron)
Folic acid orally: On 1st day 5 mg and from 2nd day onwards 1mg/day daily in > 6 mo. old .
Zinc: 2 mg / kg / day. Copper: 0.2 ‐ 0.3 mg / kg / day. Continue giving nutritious mixed diet**All these micronutrients may be available together in a premixed packet,
ready to add to formula.
HOW TO CORRECT OTHER MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCY?
44
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
• Readiness to enter the rehabilitation phase is signaled by a RETURN OF APPETITE, usually about one week after admission
• Do appetite test & plan phase II• Recommended milk‐based F‐100 contains 100 kcal & 2.9 ‐3 g protein/100 ml
• In rehabilitation phase vigorous approach to feeding is required to achieve very high intakes & rapid weight gain of >10 g gain/kg/d
STEP 8. ACHIEVE CATCH‐UP GROWTH
45
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 46
• Replace starter F‐75 with the same amount of catch‐up formula F‐100 for 48 hours then,
• Increase each successive feed by 10 ml until some feed remains uneaten.
• The point when some remains unconsumed is likely to occur when intakes reach about 30 ml/kg/feed (200 ml/kg/d & 6 g/kg protein/day)
• Daily record weight & plot (Tick sign may be seen in edematous SAM due to initial weight loss)

• Phase I– Patients without an adequate appetite and /or– Medical complications
• Transition phase– Introduced when appetite improves & edema decreases
• Phase II– Good appetite and no major medical complications– Patients with good appetite are admitted directly into phase
II– RUTF (ready to use therapeutic food ) peanut based – 20 g = 100 kcal. & 3 g protein– ARF (Amylase Rich Food) – usage of germinated cereals &
pulses
PRINCIPLE OF MANAGEMENT
50
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
• Delayed mental and behavioral development is present• Provide:
– Tender loving care (TLC)– Cheerful, stimulating environment– Structured play therapy 15‐30 min/d– Physical activity as soon as the child is well enough– Maternal involvement when possible (e.g. Comforting, feeding, bathing, play, skin to skin, eye to eye contact)
STEP 9. PROVIDE SENSORY STIMULATION AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
51
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 52
•Target weight for discharge: > 15% of baseline weight•A child who is 90% weight‐for‐length (equivalent to ‐1SD) can be considered to have recovered •Show parent or caregiver how to:
– Feed frequently with energy ‐ and nutrient‐dense foods– Give structured play therapy •Advise parent or caregiver to:
– Bring child back for regular follow‐up checks– Ensure booster immunizations are given– Ensure vitamin A is given every six months
STEP 10. PREPARE FOR FOLLOW‐UP AFTER RECOVERY
52

WHEN TO DISCHARGE THE CHILD (6‐60 MONTHS) FROM PROGRAM ?
53
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 54
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16
Phase 1 –INFANTS YOUNGER THAN 6 MONTHS
• Breastfeed every 3 hours, duration at least 20 minutes to ensure hind milk,
more often if the child ask for more, at least 8 times/day.
• One hour after breast‐feeding, complete with F100 diluted using the
supplementary suckling technique:
• F‐100 diluted: 130ml/kg/day 100 kcal/kg/day & 3 g protein/kg/d in 8
feeds.
55
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 56
ROUTINE MEDICINE
• Vitamin A: 50.000UI at admission only• Folic acid: 5mg (1tab) in unique dose• Ferrous sulphate: when the child sucks well and starts to grow. Take the quantity of F100 enriched with ferrous you need in phase II. Iron can be given separate also
• Antibiotics: Amoxicillin (from 2kg): 20mg/kg 3 times a day (60mg/day)
56
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 57
EMERGENCY TREATMENT OF SHOCK AND SEVERE ANEMIA
57
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 58
Fluid therapy in severe dehydrationUse intravenous or intraosseous routeRingers Lactate with 5% dextrose or ½ normal saline with 5% dextrose
at 15 ml/kg/hour for the first hour * do not use 5% dextrose alone
Continue monitoring every 5-10 min.
Assess after 1 hour
If no improvement or worsening If improvement(pulse slows/fasterconsider capillary refill /increase in blood pressure)septic shock consider severe dehydration with shock
Repeat Ringers Lactate 15 ml/kg over1 h
Assess
If accepts orally start ORS Clinically better but not accepting orally give 10ml/kg/h till accepts
orally 58
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 59
• Blood transfusion is required if:– Hb < 4 g/dl or if there is respiratory distress
& Hb 4‐6 g/dl• Give:
– Whole blood 10 ml/kg slowly over 3 hours– Furosemide 1 mg/kg IV at start of transfusion
• If CARDIAC FAILURE present, transfuse packed cells (5‐7 ml/kg) rather than whole blood
• Monitor RR & HR every 15 minutes. If either of them rises, transfuse more slowly.
• Give oral iron for two months to replenish iron stores
SEVERE ANAEMIA
59
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 60
HOW TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT ANAEMIA?
Check Hb at admission if any clinical suspicion of anaemia
‐ Hb >= 4g/% or ‐Packed cell vol>=12%‐ or between 2 and 14 days after admission
- Hb < 4g/% or ‐ Packed cell vol<12%
No acute treatment
Iron during phase 2
ONLY during the first 48 hours after admission:Give 10ml/kg packed cells 3hours ‐ No food for 3 to 5 hrs 60
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 61
TREATMENT OF ASSOCIATED CONDITIONS
61
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 62
If eye signs of deficiency, give orally:vitamin A on days 1, 2, 14
>12 months ‐200,000 IU 6‐12 months ‐100,000 IU < 6 months ‐50,000 IU
If corneal clouding/ulceration, give additional eye care to prevent extrusion of the lens:
instill chloramphenicol or tetracycline eye drops (1%) 2‐3 hourly for 7‐10 daysinstill atropine eye drops (1%), 1 drop three times daily for 3‐5 days
VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY
62
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 63
• Signs: hypo‐or hyper pigmentation• desquamation, ulceration, exudative lesions
• ZINC DEFICIENCY is usual in affected children. Skin quickly improves with zinc supplementation
• > 6 mo. 20 mg/day X 14 days & 2‐6 mo. 10 mg/day• In addition:
• apply barrier cream (zinc & castor oil ointment, or petroleum jelly or paraffin gauze) to raw
areas• omit nappies so that the perineum can dry
DERMATOSIS
63
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 64
• Common feature but it should subside during the first week of treatment with cautious feeding. In the rehabilitation phase, loose, poorly formed stools are no cause for concern provided weight gain is satisfactory.
• Mucosal damage & giardiasis – Stool microscopy– Give: metronidazole (7.5 mg/kg 8‐hourly for 7 days)
CONTINUING DIARRHEA
64
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 65
• Lactose intolerance. – Only rarely due to lactose intolerance. – Treat only if continuing diarrhea is preventing general improvement
– Starter F‐75 is a low‐lactose feed. In exceptional cases: • substitute milk feeds with yogurt or lactose‐free infant formula
• reintroduce milk feeds gradually in the rehabilitation phase
CONTINUING DIARRHEA – Cont..
65
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 66
• Suspected if diarrhea worsens substantially with hyperosmolar starter F‐75 and
• Ceases when the sugar content is reduced and osmolarity is <300 mOsmol/l.
• In these cases: use isotonic F‐75 or low osmolar cereal‐based F‐75. Introduce F‐100 gradually
PARASITIC WORMS• Give mebendazole 100 mg orally, twice daily for 3 days
OSMOTIC DIARRHEA
66
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 67
If strongly suspected (contacts with adult TB patient, poor growth, despite good intake, chronic cough, chest infection not responding to antibiotics):– Mantoux test (false negatives are frequent)– Chest X‐ray if possible– If test is positive or strong suspicion of TB,
treat according to national TB guidelines
TUBERCULOSIS (TB)
67
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 68
• Good wt gain (>10 g/kg/day): continue same
• Mod. wt gain (5‐10 g/kg/day), check intake & infection
• Poor wt gain (<5 g/kg/day), • Inadequate feeding, • Untreated infection, • Specific nutrient deficiencies, • Tuberculosis & HIV/AIDS • Psychological problems
FAILURE TO RESPOND TO TREATMENT
68
IAP UG Teaching slides 2015-16 69
PRIMARY FAILURE TO RESPOND•Failure to regain appetite by day 4•Failure to start losing edema by day 4•Presence of edema on day 10•Failure to gain at least 5g/kg/day by day 10
SECONDARY FAILURE TO RESPOND •Failure to gain at least 5g/kg/day for 3 consecutive days during rehabilitation
