[Educational program in universal precaution measures: a methodological approach].

An updating program on measures of universal precautions (M.U.P.) was developed at the Center of Whole Care of Woman's Health (Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher-CAISM). These measures and the procedures in the case of work accident were published in a booklet. First, servants should be aware of the matter of stress and its influence on the quality of life. Then, updating was carried through encouraging the reflection on the consequences of the non-adoption of M.U.P. The answers to 286 pre-tests and 242 post-tests were analyzed and the results showed a significantly higher index of correct answers (p < 0.01), mainly regarding the appropriate use of glove.

Maternal hypothermia and persistent fetal bradycardia during the intrapartum process.

Maternal hypothermia can be correlated with persistent fetal bradycardia. The improvement of the maternal hypothermic state and the subsequent alleviation of fetal bradycardia are presented in two case reports. A possible consequence of unrelieved maternal hypothermia at delivery, neonatal cold stress, is discussed in a third case report. Neonatal complications requiring interventions may ensue after cold stress.
