Acute complications of Diabetes: Ketoacidosis and its management
When your body produces a lot of the blood acids known as ketones, or ketones, it can lead to a serious complication of diabetes called diabetic ketoacidosis. When your body can't create enough insulin, the problem sets in. Sugar (glucose), a main source of energy for your muscles and other tissues, generally enters your cells with the aid of insulin. Insufficient insulin causes your body to start using fat as fuel. If left untreated, this process results in a buildup of acids in the blood called ketones, which eventually cause diabetic ketoacidosis. In diabetic ketoacidosis patients, the fluid deficit may be as much as 10% to 15% of body weight. Immediate fluid resuscitation is essential to treat hypovolemia, restore tissue perfusion, and clear ketones. Independent of insulin, hydration enhances glycemic control.

Upcoming Case Discussions
A Case Based Approach to Acute Care Bronchoscopy: Skills for the Intensivists
A Case-Based Approach to Acute Care Bronchoscopy: Skills for the Intensivists focuses on enhancing practical bronchoscopy skills essential for managing critically ill patients. Through real-world case discussions, the session will cover key techniques, decision-making strategies, and troubleshooting during acute interventions. It aims to build confidence in handling airway emergencies, performing diagnostic procedures, and improving patient outcomes in the ICU. This interactive approach ensures intensivists are better prepared to apply bronchoscopy effectively in urgent care settings.
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
Approach to severe hyperkalemia in ICU
Approach to Severe Hyperkalemia in the ICU focuses on rapid identification and targeted intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. The session outlines key steps including ECG monitoring, membrane stabilization with calcium gluconate, intracellular potassium shift using insulin-dextrose and beta-agonists, and potassium elimination via diuretics or dialysis. It emphasizes prioritizing reversible causes like renal failure or medication-induced hyperkalemia. Real-world ICU scenarios and evidence-based protocols will guide clinicians in managing this critical electrolyte emergency effectively.
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.
