Cardiopulmonary Bypass in the Digital Age
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a vital technology used during cardiac surgery to temporarily take over the functions of the heart and lungs. In the digital age, CPB has been enhanced by the integration of advanced technologies, improving patient safety and surgical outcomes. CPB machines now incorporate digital interfaces that allow precise monitoring and control of various parameters during bypass procedures. The digital age has seen the development of miniaturized CPB circuits, reducing the priming volume and enhancing biocompatibility. Digital sensors embedded in CPB circuits provide real-time feedback on oxygenation, temperature, pressure, and flow, allowing for immediate adjustments. Advanced data analytics in CPB systems help identify trends and patterns, aiding in the early detection of complications. The digital age has brought about the use of artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize CPB management, predicting patient responses and optimizing perfusion strategies.

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.
