Besides ambient heat, pregnancy is a thermogenic condition that necessitates adequate hydration. The blood volume of pregnant women increased by 50% and requires continual hydration. Water and other beverages may not be adequate, especially if the pregnant woman is experiencing nausea and vomiting or diarrhea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Moore et al. (2016), “The longer CHO (carbohydrate) chains in rice-based ORS may allow more of the CHO to be absorbed by the ileum, resulting in a more sustained release of glucose, energy support, as well as cognitive function in cases of high external heat. They also support water retention to maintain blood volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRice-based ORS, such as Ceralyte, are more efficient and faster at controlling diarrhea from infectious causes such as E. coli and cholera. In some cases, the diarrhea is reduced by 20-30%, and severe weight loss is prevented. Furthermore, long-chain carbohydrates enhance ORS, specifically in cases where watery diarrhea is a primary symptom. Diarrhea of any sort is detrimental to pregnant women and babies. Dehydration can trigger early contractions and contribute to premature births. Premature babies are at risk for numerous serious complications and are not equipped to fight off many types of infection, especially diarrhea. These starch and protein-based ORS, such as Ceralyte, improve rehydration efforts and speed recovery from fluid and nutrient loss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort of IV hydration and nutrient supplementation, ORS are critical when resources are scarce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Ordering Information\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Our product line includes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCeralyte 50 Potassium-Free \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCeralyte 50 for Mild and Pediatric Hydration \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCeralyte 70 for Moderate Dehydration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCeralyte 90 for Severe Dehydration \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFAQs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy Were Rice-Based ORS Developed? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGlucose and amino acid-based ORS were developed initially to combat dehydration from extreme heat and diarrheal illnesses without needing hospitalization. However, research indicates that newer formulations that are rice-based (starch and protein) stabilize electrolytes and glucose faster and more efficiently and have been more effective at reducing diarrhea. Other ORS formulas do not hydrate well or have negative side effects. ORS made with fructose are poorly absorbed and do not use the sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT). ORS made with simple sugars move electrolytes through the small intestine very quickly, without electrolyte absorption. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow is Ceralyte Different from other ORS? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eORS like Pedialyte, Gatorade, and other glucose-based ORS do not contain starch and longer chain carbohydrates like Ceralyte products. These components facilitate gastric emptying and higher absorption rates in the gastrointestinal tract, which in turn, stabilize glucose levels and restore blood volume (hydration). In case of extreme heat exposure and diarrheal illnesses that deplete volume, electrolytes, and nutrients, rice-based ORS again proves superior over traditional ORS. There will be less weight loss from diarrhea and less cognitive issues from dehydration due to extreme heat. In the case of pregnancy and infants, both of these issues must be addressed quickly to avoid complications such as premature labor and failure to thrive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow Does Ceralyte Work? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCeralyte restores blood volume, glucose, and electrolytes in the case of dehydration for any reason, especially heat exhaustion, diarrhea, and nausea and vomiting. It does this because rice is a starch or fiber that contains long-chained carbohydrates rather than simple sugars. Rice-based ORS help heal inflammation in the GI tract and resorb salts and water more quickly based on clinical studies. These formulations have low osmolality, which means that water is preferentially resorbed into the bloodstream rather than being drawn into the intestines–thus worsening diarrhea. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsual Dose\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStart with 200 ml of water (one 10g packet) after every loose stool, continue until diarrhea stops.

Bleeding (hemorrhage), especially during or after delivery (postpartum) can lead to maternal death within a couple of hours even in a previously healthy woman. Hypertensive (high blood pressure) pregnancy disorders including Preeclampsia can develop during pregnancy or even postpartum and can lead to fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, placental abruption, maternal organ damage, seizures, and maternal and fetal deaths. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition with organ dysfunction resulting from infection during pregnancy, childbirth, post-abortion, or in the postpartum period. Amongst other conditions, these three pregnancy related diseases can be detected during quality antenatal, perinatal, and postnatal care. However, in many settings the blood pressure devices are not functioning accurately, are broken and the validity of the blood pressure and pulse results depend on the level of training of the health worker. An additional barrier for timely appropriate treatment is the health workers’ recognition of a “normal” healthy result and differentiate this from vital signs that indicate health problems, when action is needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the CRADLE VSA work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHypertension experts from King’s college, UK, developed the CRADLE VSA with especially the Community Health Workers in mind.

Compared to children and adults, newborn babies are less able to regulate their body temperature and in the first hours of life can have significant heat loss. Specific newborn care practices that are more common in home births in developing countries, but that can also occur in facilities, can make heat loss worse and put newborns at risk. Interventions to prevent and manage infant hypothermia can help reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality by 18%-42%. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTHE SOLUTION\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe ThermoSpot is a non-invasive infant hypothermia indicator.

In many settings, especially low-resource settings, visual estimation is used to determine the volume of blood lost. Studies have documented that even highly trained teams notoriously underestimate the amount of blood lost via visual estimation.

In 2017, PPH was responsible for more than 38,000 maternal deaths around the world, the majority of which came from low- and middle-income countries. Uterine atony, which is when the uterus fails to contract after delivery, is the most common cause of PPH, responsible for approximately 70% of all PPH cases. When the uterus fails to contract, blood vessels in the uterus that were attached to the placenta are not compressed, leading to free bleeding that can become dangerous. If uterine massage and uterotonic medications prove ineffective in stopping bleeding in the case of uterine atony, applying pressure to the uterine wall can help stop bleeding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTHE SOLUTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Uterine balloon tamponade is a soft silicone balloon tamponade catheter that provides direct pressure to control postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).

Common symptoms of chlamydia include pain when urinating, stomach and pelvis pain, unusual vaginal discharge, pain during sex, bleeding after sex and bleeding between periods.

Knowledge of the presence or absence of pregnancy is fundamental to determining a range of medical and life choices. Worldwide, an estimated 44% of pregnancies are unintended. Translated this means there are 62 unintended pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-44. Although estimations don’t exist, women with unintended pregnancies are more likely to recognize their pregnancies late. Late recognition has been shown to be associated with poor birth outcomes like premature birth, low-birth-weight, and NICU admissions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTHE SOLUTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe core mechanism of action of the pregnancy tests is the detection of the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. hCG is a hormone produced by a woman in pregnancy, as it is released when a fertilized egg embeds in the uterine wall.  We offer a range of pregnancy tests, including basic and high sensitivity dipstick urine tests with fast and accurate readouts. Urine tests are most reliable when used 2-3 weeks after potential conception. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAlso available are mid-stream pregnancy tests for use during urination. This test is an antigen-capture immunochromatographic assay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe test is done by holding the testing strip vertically into a container containing a urine or serum sample until the sample has migrated to the test window. The testing strip is then laid flat. The test works by detecting hCG in the serum or urine sample as it flows through the assay by first hCG antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold that attach to hCG and provide a “visual tag” for the antigen-antibody-colloidal gold complex and second, by a test zone with immobilized antibodies that capture the complex, the visual tags producing a visible pink-colored band that is confirmation of the presence of hCG. If there is no pink line, hCG is not present, indicating a negative result for pregnancy. Results are ready in 3 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[\/below]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25 tests\/kit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you use the mid-stream pregnancy test?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.

The device allows the flow of pressurized air into the infant’s lungs through nasal prongs and tubes. This air flow can be augmented with oxygen from a separate source as well.
