Atrial Fibrillation: Management and Stroke Prevention
The treatment of people with atrial fibrillation (AF), which is shifting toward a more integrative or holistic approach to care, centers on the prevention of strokes. According to published data, managing patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with a comprehensive approach based on the Atrial fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway is linked to a decreased risk of adverse events and stroke. For AF patients to prevent stroke, risk assessment, reassessment, and the administration of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are crucial. Patients with AF should have their risks of bleeding and stroke routinely reevaluated because they are not static. The goal of bleeding risk assessment is to identify individuals at high risk for early review and follow-up, as well as to address and mitigate modifiable bleeding risk factors. Additionally crucial are well-managed comorbidities and healthy lifestyles.

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.
