Vidéo d’instruction sur la préparation du lait thérapeutique F-100 dilué

Introduction

This tutorial provides step-by-step guidance on the safe preparation of diluted F-100 therapeutic milk for the inpatient care of infants experiencing malnutrition. Developed by UNICEF in collaboration with WHO, these instructions are vital for healthcare providers to ensure the nutritional needs of vulnerable infants are met effectively and safely.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Equipment and Ingredients

Before starting the preparation, ensure you have the following items:

• Clean containers for mixing and storing the milk
• Measuring cups and spoons for accurate portions
• A thermometer to check milk temperature
• Water that is safe for consumption (boiled and cooled if necessary)
• F-100 powder as recommended

Practical Advice

• Always maintain hygiene by washing your hands and using sterilized equipment.
• Ensure that the water used is clean to avoid introducing contaminants.

Step 2: Prepare the Water

1. Measure Water: Depending on the number of servings needed, measure the appropriate amount of water. Typically, this will be around 1 liter for every 100 grams of F-100 powder.
2. Boil Water: If using tap water, boil it for at least 5 minutes to eliminate any pathogens. Let it cool to room temperature before use.

Practical Advice

• Use a thermometer to ensure the water is at a safe temperature before mixing with the powder.

Step 3: Mix F-100 Powder with Water

1. Measure F-100 Powder: Use the correct ratio of F-100 powder to the cooled water.
2. Combine: Gradually add the F-100 powder into the water while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
3. Stir Thoroughly: Ensure that the mixture is homogeneous and there are no lumps remaining.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Do not add more powder than recommended, as this can lead to complications in digestion.
• Ensure the powder is fully dissolved before proceeding to the next step.

Step 4: Check the Temperature

1. Measure the Temperature: Use a thermometer to ensure the prepared milk is at a safe feeding temperature, generally around body temperature (37°C or 98.6°F).
2. Adjust if Necessary: If the mixture is too hot, let it cool down. If it is too cold, warm it gently.

Practical Advice

• Test the milk temperature by placing a few drops on your wrist; it should feel warm but not hot.

Step 5: Store or Serve the Milk

1. Serve Immediately: If the milk is for immediate consumption, pour it into a clean feeding bottle.
2. Store Properly: If not used right away, store the prepared milk in a clean, airtight container and refrigerate it. Use within 24 hours.

Real-World Application

• It is critical to label the container with the date and time of preparation to ensure safe usage.

Conclusion

This tutorial outlined the essential steps for safely preparing diluted F-100 therapeutic milk for infants. By following these instructions and maintaining strict hygiene practices, healthcare providers can ensure the well-being of malnourished infants in inpatient care.
