TRANSCRIPT
IMCIIs simply the umbrella program through which all community health intervention
can be delivered to children under 5 years of age
Brief History of IMCI• 1992 1ST developed by: UNICEF
(United Nations Children’s Emergency fund) and WHO
• AIM: To prevent or early detection and TX of the leading cause of childhood death; reduce childhood mortality and morbidity by improving family and community practices for home management of illness, and improving case management of skills of health workers in the bigger health system
• 1995 – IMCI introduced in the Phil. As a strategy to reduce child death and promote growth and development
• 19970 - implementation started with a memorandum agreement bet. ADPCN & APSOM – Ass. Of Phil,. School of Midwifery in April 2002
GOALS
• To reduce the Infant and under-five mortality rate by at least one third in 2010
• To reduce the –Infant and under-5 mortality rate by at least two thirds in 2015
How does IMCI accomplish This Goals ?• Adopting an integrated approach to child health and development in
the national health policy;• Adapting standard IMCI clinical guidelines to the country’s needs,
available drugs, policies and to the local foods and language used by the population;
• Upgrading care in local clinics by training health workers in the new methods to examine and treat children, and to effectively counsel parents
• Making upgraded care possible by ensuring that enough of the right low-cost medicines and simple equipment are available;
• Strengthening care in hospitals for those children too sick to be treated in outpatient clinic;
• Developing support mechanism within communities for preventing disease, for helping families to care for sick children, and for getting children to clinic or hospital when needed
Why is IMCI better than Single-condition Approaches?
• Children brought for medical treatment in the health facility are often suffering from more than one condition, thus making a single diagnosis impossible. The IMCI takes into account the combined Tx of the major childhood illnesses. Emphasizing prevention of disease through Immunization and improved nutrition

COMPONENTS OF IMCI• upgrading the case management and
counseling skills of health care providers• strengthening the health care system
for effective management of childhood illnesses
• improving the family and community health practices related to childhood and nutrition
Benefits of IMCI and Who Will benefit From it?
C – cost-effective of intervention-gainful and profitable interventions for investors
H – High Impact on health status of childrenL- low-cost and promotes cost-savingof resourcesD – demands of children answered-IMCI focuses on the
major causes of illness and death of children: ARI, malnutrition, measles, malaria, dengue
R – responsive to major child health problemsE – equity of access to health care improvedN – not only curative, but preventive as well
Other Benefits:• Promotes accurate identification of childhood
illness in outpatient settings• Ensure appropriate combined treatment for
all major illness• Strengthens the counseling of caretakers and
provision of preventive services• Speed up referral of severely ill children• Promotion of appropriate care-seeking
behavior in the home setting, improved nutrition and preventive care, and the correct implementation of prescribed care

AGE CATEGORIES OF IMCI
• CHILDREN AGE 2 MONTHS UP TO 5 YEARS• YOUNG INFANTS AGED 1 WEEK UP TO
MONTHS
• ASSESS the child by checking first the danger signs (or possible
bacterial infection in a young infant)– asking questions about common conditions– examining the child– checking nutrition and immunization status– Includes checking the child for other problems
CLASSIFY a child’s illness using color-coded triangle system
Simple advice on home management (GREEN)
Specific medical treatment and advice (YELLOW)
Urgent pre-referral treatment
and referral (PINK)
Elements of
IMCI
IDENTIFY specific treatments for the childIf requires urgent referral, give
essential treatment before the patient is transferred
If the child requires treatment at home, develop an integrated plan for the child and give the 1st dose of drugs in the clinic
If a child should be immunized , give immunization
IDENTIFY specific treatments for the childIf requires urgent referral, give
essential treatment before the patient is transferred
If the child requires treatment at home, develop an integrated plan for the child and give the 1st dose of drugs in the clinic
If a child should be immunized , give immunization
Elements of
IMCI
Provide practical TREATMENT instructionsTeaching the caretaker on oral drug
administrationHow to feed and give oral fluids during illnessHow to treat local infections at homeAsk the caretaker to return for follow up on a
specific dateTeach the caretaker on how to recognize signs
that indicate that the child should be return immediately to the health facility

Elements of IMCIElements of IMCI• Assess feeding, including breastfeeding
practices. COUNSEL to solve any feeding problem found. Then counsel the mother about her own health
• When a child is brought back to the clinic as requested, GIVE FOLLOW UP CARE and if necessary, reassess the child for new problems
Check for General Danger Signs
• Inability to drink or breastfeed• Convulsions• Lethargy or
unconsciousness–Abnormally sleepy or difficult to awaken
• Vomiting everything taken.
• ASK: is the child able to drink or breastfeed?– A child has this sign if he/she is too weak to
drink and is not able to suck or swallow when offered a drink
– If you are not sure about the mother’s answer, ask her to offer the child a drink. Look to see the child’s response
– Breastfeeding children may have difficulty sucking when their nose is blocked , clear it first
• ASK: Does the child vomit everything?–A child who is
not able to hold on anything down at all has the sign “vomits everything”
A child with ANY of the Danger Signs has a serious problem and needs URGENT referral to the hospital
ASK: Has the child had convulsions?Use the term for convulsions like “fits”, “spasm”, or “jerky
movements” which the mother understands
LOOK: See if the child is abnormally sleepy or difficult to awakenAn abnormally sleepy child is drowsy and does not show interest
in what is happening around him/herHe does not look at his mother or watch your face when you talkHe may stare blankly and does not notice what is going on
around himHe does not respond when she is touched, shaken or spoken to

I. Cough or Difficulty in breathing
I. Cough or Difficulty in breathing
Assess for general danger signs. This child may have pneumonia or another severe respiratory infection. After checking for danger signs, it is essential to ask the child’s caretaker about this main symptom.
• Clinical AssessmentThree key clinical signs are used to assess a sick child with cough or difficult breathing:
1. Respiratory rate, which distinguishes children who have pneumonia from those who do not;
2. Lower chest wall indrawing, which indicates severe pneumonia; and
3. Stridor, which indicates those with severe pneumonia who require hospital admission.

2. Lower chest wall indrawing, which indicates severe pneumonia; and
3. Stridor, which indicates those with severe pneumonia who require hospital admission.
Cough or Difficulty in breathingStridor is a harsh noise made when the child inhales (breathes in). Children who have stridor when calm have a substantial risk of obstruction and should be referred.
Wheezing is heard when the child exhales (breathes out). This is not stridor. A wheezing sound is most often associated with asthma.In some cases, especially when a child has wheezing when exhaling, the final decision on presence or absence of fast breathing can be made after a test with a rapid acting bronchodilator (if available).
Cough or Difficulty in breathingLower chest wall indrawing: inward movement of the bony structure of the chest wall with inspiration, is a useful indicator of severe pneumonia.
It is more specific than “intercostal indrawing,” which concerns the soft tissue between the ribs without involvement of the bony structure of the chest wall.
Chest indrawing should only be considered present if it is consistently present in a calm child. Agitation, a blocked nose or breastfeeding can all cause temporary chest indrawing.

DIARRHEA
Plan A : Treating Diarrhea at Home
1. Determine The amount of ORS to give during the 1st 4 hours
2. Show the mother how to give ORS SOLUTIONREASSESS and CLASSIFY
THE CHILD FOR DEHYDRATION
After 4 Hours
AGE WEIGHT AMOUNT (mL)
Below 4 months < 6 kg 200-400
4 to 12 months 6 to < 10 kg 400-700
12 months to 2 years 10 to < 12 kg 700-900
2 to 5 years old 12 to < 19 kg 900-1400
Use the child’s age only when You do not know his or her weight. The approximate amount of ORS required (in mL) can also be calculated by
multiplying the child’s weight (in kg) by 75
Plan C : Treat Severe Dehydration Quickly
