Vitamin K is responsible for the formation of proteins involved in blood clotting, which helps to heal the wounds and heal completely. And Vitamin K in green vegetables, vegetable oils and Alcyril, and there are small quantities in meat and dairy products, and is amusing that the bacteria in the intestines produce vitamin K naturally and therefore most adults are not exposed to the dangers of vitamin K.
What are the causes of vitamin K:
The levels of vitamin K in infants be weak because of the inability of the intestines in infants on the production of this vitamin is vital, and although the mother may address vitamin K during pregnancy, why did not turn to the fetus through the placenta and are not stored Basmtoyat higher, and This means that there is a risk to the child displays bleeding due to lack of vitamin K.
What is bleeding vitamin K:
Is a rare case of a disruption could lead to bleeding from the nose and mouth or inside the brain, there are three types of this bleeding, the bleeding is rare: occurs within 24 hours of birth and caused by a severe shortage of vitamin K in the transmission through the wall of the placenta to the fetus during pregnancy.
Type: Classical is more common in the period ranging from two to seven days after birth and is common in the largest among children who breast milk as the types of industrial, with the addition of vitamin K either milk breast pain is considered vitamin K, which is relatively small (but this does not mean that neglect breastfed children from breast milk is always best).
Delayed type: the kind that occurs two weeks after birth and is common in children who suffer from "cystic fibrosis" or inflammation of the liver or continuous diarrhea and other conditions affecting the absorption of nutrients.
Do you worry about our children:
Fortunately, the first type of bleeding is very rare and affects children of every 10 thousand and is well known that health bodies give vitamin K to all children newborn to reduce the risk of this case, either children at high risk for this problem and including the children, premature infants and children who deal mothers with epilepsy drugs.
In many cases, there are visible signs of this disorder, such as bleeding in a simple nose or mouth, or an automatic internal bleeding under the skin, in the brain or in the intestines, and if not detected in the brain damage occurs, or it comes to death.
How to give the child vitamin K:
Of the identifier that vitamin K should be given to the newborn child in the first hours following the situation is different and the way in hospitals, some of which give him through the mouth and the other by injection.
And injection is considered the most successful means providing protection in a single dose and long-acting, and the method of the mouth of the child be given in three separate doses, one at birth and after three to five days and the third after the completion of 4 weeks of age was born.
These successive doses necessary and neglect any of them shows the child at risk, and the mother tell your doctor about the position of breastfeeding a child is breast-or dairy industry, as the dose may vary according to each case feeding.
Is there any risk in giving vitamin K for the newborn:
In the seventies I think some researchers that there is a correlation between children who received the injection of vitamin K at birth evolve to have a later cancer of the blood, but subsequent studies proved wrong this idea and demonstrated that there is scope to increase the risk of cancer, including cancer of the blood of newborns who are taking Vitamin K.
Is the argument still stands:
The debate is still going on among the experts on the causes of vitamin K deficiency in newborns and compared the rates of vitamin K in adults, and with the debate continues in place did not know the reasons yet, and perhaps the research up to us the definitive answer is convinced by all.
