Approach to Severe Allergic Reactions
Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency that requires quick diagnosis and treatment. Basic equipment and medication should be easily accessible in the doctor's office. Lieberman et al. have explained this in considerable detail. Patients with severe anaphylactic symptoms should get routine treatments before being transported to the hospital. Interventions include high-flow oxygen, cardiac monitoring, and intravenous (IV) access. These precautions are recommended for an asymptomatic patient with a history of severe reaction who has been re-exposed to the triggering chemical. For patients with exclusively local reactions, additional measures beyond basic life support (BLS) are unnecessary. The prognosis of patients with anaphylaxis is determined by the severity of the first reaction and their treatment response. Patients with non-life-threatening symptoms may be followed for 4-6 hours after successful treatment.

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.
