Tuberculosis Management
Tuberculosis (TB) management involves a comprehensive approach, from diagnosis to treatment, aimed at controlling and curing the infection. Early diagnosis is critical and is often done using sputum tests, chest X-rays, and molecular tests like GeneXpert. Once diagnosed, TB patients are typically treated with a standard regimen of first-line antibiotics, such as isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, over a course of six to nine months. Drug-resistant TB, particularly multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), requires more complex treatment using second-line drugs for longer periods, often up to two years. Adherence to the treatment regimen is crucial, as incomplete treatment can lead to resistance.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
