Intr Operative-Electro Physiological Monitoring
Intraoperative monitoring is a crucial technique that significantly improves surgical outcomes by protecting neural structures and ensuring patient safety. This session provides a detailed introduction and rationale for using intraoperative monitoring, covering various types and methods. Learn how to identify vital neural structures such as the facial nerve, functional filum, and brainstem nuclei during surgery. Explore the process of monitoring patients throughout the surgery, focusing on sensory pathways and spinal cord monitoring, supported by relevant clinical images and videos. Additionally, delve into electrophysiological techniques for localizing functional areas, including Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) and Direct Cortical Stimulation or Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs). Join us to enhance your knowledge of intraoperative monitoring, ensuring precision and safety in your surgical practice.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
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.
