The Ministry of Health has recently presented the new clinical practice guide for pregnancy and puerperium care which, as in previous guides, aims to lay the foundations of hospital protocols to make deliveries less and less investment, less medicalized and care more respectful.
The guide is intended for health professionals, but also to future mothers, who can consult it to get current and useful information that will help them to make decisions at the time of delivery.
To carry out the guide, the latest scientific evidence has been used for each topic treated and with this, we try to provide recommendations so that in clinical practice they are assumed, they are increasingly used and, in this way, attention is left behind paternalist who has reigned in previous decades and routine interventions with little or no benefit for the mother and / or the baby.
It is not the first of these guides, but it is one more that adds to the previous guides and strategies and we consider its appearance great for hospitals to receive, again, current and contrasted information with which to work from here on. It is true that over the years, with these guides, with new protocols and with a lot of work and effort, care for women in childbirth has greatly improved. But it is also true that there is still a lot of work to be done and when women and mothers have information, change is easier.
By this I mean that you should not miss the possibility of keeping an eye on the guide, since it is summarized and in a few minutes you can leave doubts of many subjects. Just look for the doubt, reach it through the index and see what is recommended.
From our side, from Babies and more, we will be commenting on some of the topics that are touched in the guide, because it is always curious and enriching to observe the difference between "what should be" and "what is", to know "what should change".
The guide of clinical practice of care in pregnancy and the puerperium can be consulted from the website of the Ministry of Health.
