Case Discussion on Precision Care after Cardiac Arrest
Precision care after cardiac arrest involves tailoring treatment to the unique needs and characteristics of each patient. Continuous monitoring of vital signs and cardiac function is crucial to assess the patient's condition and response to treatment. Precision medicine may involve specific interventions, such as targeted temperature management, to optimize neurological recovery and reduce brain damage.Identifying and addressing underlying factors contributing to cardiac arrest, such as heart conditions or metabolic issues, is an essential component of precision care. Genetic testing may be employed to determine if hereditary factors played a role in the cardiac arrest, impacting the patient's treatment and future risk assessment. Tailored rehabilitation plans are developed to help patients regain physical and cognitive function and improve their quality of life. Precision care extends beyond the initial recovery phase, with long-term follow-up to manage any lingering complications and prevent future cardiac events.

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.
