Clinical Approach to Child with Dyspnea
Dyspnea in children can result from a variety of underlying conditions, ranging from respiratory infections and asthma to congenital heart defects and foreign body aspiration. A thorough history and physical examination are essential, focusing on the onset, duration, and associated symptoms. Key diagnostic steps include assessing the child’s respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and auscultation findings, followed by appropriate imaging or laboratory tests as needed to determine the cause. Early recognition and intervention are critical to manage potential life-threatening conditions effectively.

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.
