Case Discussion on Management of Sepsis and Septic shock
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by the body's response to an infection. Early recognition and management of sepsis and septic shock are critical to improving patient outcomes. The initial steps in managing sepsis and septic shock include resuscitation and stabilization of the patient. The management of sepsis and septic shock also involves identifying and treating the underlying infection. Antibiotic therapy is a key component of the management of sepsis and septic shock. The choice of antibiotics should be based on the suspected source of infection and the patient's individual characteristics. Inappropriate use of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The goal of fluid resuscitation is to achieve adequate tissue perfusion while avoiding fluid overload. Vasopressor therapy may be required in patients with septic shock who are not responding to fluid resuscitation.

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.
