Acute Management of Seizure
Acute management of a seizure is a critical medical intervention that focuses on ensuring the safety and well-being of the individual experiencing the seizure. The first step is to assess the situation. Ensure the safety of the individual and those around them by moving objects or people that may pose a risk during the seizure. Note the time the seizure begins. Seizures lasting longer than five minutes or recurrent seizures without recovery in between may require immediate medical attention. If the seizure lasts longer than five minutes, is followed by another seizure, or if it is the person's first seizure, seek immediate medical attention. Also, if the person is pregnant, injured during the seizure, or has a known seizure disorder but this episode is unusually severe or prolonged, medical evaluation is essential.

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.
