2D Echo in Sepsis
2D Echo is an invaluable tool in assessing cardiac function during sepsis, aiding in early diagnosis and management. It helps identify sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction, characterized by reduced left ventricular contractility and diastolic dysfunction. 2D Echo allows for the evaluation of cardiac output and volume status, guiding fluid resuscitation strategies in septic patients. Detection of sepsis-related valvular abnormalities, such as endocarditis, is facilitated by 2D Echo imaging. The assessment of right ventricular function using 2D Echo is vital in monitoring sepsis-induced pulmonary hypertension and acute cor pulmonale. Serial 2D Echo examinations can track changes in cardiac function over time, aiding in prognostication and treatment optimization in sepsis. Doppler techniques in 2D Echo enable the evaluation of intraventricular filling pressures, assisting in the management of sepsis-induced fluid overload. Pericardial effusion, a potential complication of severe sepsis, can be detected and monitored using 2D Echo.

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.
