Clinician’s Approach to Pleural Effusion
The abnormal build-up of fluid in the pleural space, which is the narrow area between the pleural layers encircling the lungs, is known as pleural effusion. Numerous etiologies can cause this syndrome, from malignancies like lung cancer and inflammatory conditions like lupus to heart failure and pneumonia. A buildup of intrapleural space fluid can compress the lungs, making it more difficult for them to inflate completely during inspiration and leading to respiratory symptoms like coughing, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

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.
