Case Based Discussion on Bronchiolitis
Bronchiolitis is a common respiratory infection in infants and young children, primarily caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It presents with nasal congestion, cough, wheezing, and difficulty breathing, often following an upper respiratory infection. Management is largely supportive, focusing on hydration, oxygen therapy, and suctioning nasal secretions. Routine use of bronchodilators, steroids, or antibiotics is not recommended. Severe cases may require hospitalization for respiratory support, such as high-flow nasal cannula or mechanical ventilation. Preventive measures include proper hand hygiene and, in high-risk infants, palivizumab prophylaxis. Prompt recognition and appropriate care are key to reducing complications and improving outcomes.

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.
