Cardiac Arrest: Rationale and Strategies for Management
Our heartbeat is controlled by electrical impulses. When the impulses change pattern, the heartbeat becomes irregular. This is also known as an arrhythmia. Some of the arrhythmias are slow, others are rapid. Cardiac arrest occurs when the rhythm of the heart stops and immediate CPR is crucial for treating sudden cardiac arrest. It is important to know the rationale and Strategies in the Management of Cardiac Arrest. The coming up webinar with Dr.Vishant Sharma will give you a better understanding of prioritizing the strategies in the management of cardiac Arrest.

Falls and Fractures in Older Adults: Prevention and Immediate Care
Falls and fractures in older adults are common and can lead to significant morbidity, highlighting the importance of fall prevention strategies such as strength training, balance exercises, and home safety modifications. Immediate care involves quick assessment for fractures, pain management, and stabilization, along with appropriate transport to healthcare facilities for further evaluation and treatment.
Chemical Peels for Acne Scars
Chemical peels are an effective treatment for reducing acne scars by exfoliating the skin and promoting cell regeneration. They work by removing the damaged outer layer of skin, revealing smoother and healthier skin beneath. Common peels for acne scars include glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and TCA peels. Regular treatments can improve skin texture, even out pigmentation, and reduce the appearance of scars. A dermatologist can customize the peel type and strength to suit individual skin needs for optimal results.
Pneumonia in Immunocompromised Patients
Pneumonia in immunocompromised patients poses a significant risk due to their weakened defense mechanisms. These patients are more susceptible to opportunistic pathogens like fungi, viruses, and atypical bacteria. Symptoms may be subtle or atypical, making early diagnosis challenging. Treatment often requires targeted antimicrobial therapy and supportive care. Preventive measures, such as vaccinations and prophylactic medications, are crucial in reducing the risk of pneumonia in this vulnerable population.
Functional Management to Type 2 Diabetes
Functional management of type 2 diabetes focuses on addressing root causes and improving overall metabolic health. It emphasizes lifestyle modifications such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and stress management. Functional medicine incorporates personalized approaches, including addressing nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and hormonal imbalances. Monitoring glucose levels and making sustainable changes help optimize blood sugar control. This holistic approach aims to improve long-term health outcomes while reducing dependency on medications.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD patients
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a cornerstone in managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), aimed at improving the quality of life and physical function. It involves a multidisciplinary approach combining exercise training, education, and psychological support tailored to individual needs. Exercise training, particularly endurance and strength exercises, enhances respiratory muscle function, reducing dyspnea and fatigue. Patient education focuses on understanding COPD, optimizing medication use, and adopting lifestyle modifications like smoking cessation and proper nutrition. Psychological support addresses anxiety and depression, often prevalent in COPD patients, fostering mental well-being.
