Critical care imaging
Critical care imaging employs advanced techniques like CT scans, X-rays, and ultrasounds to provide precise diagnostic information. Immediate imaging aids in swift evaluation of critical conditions, guiding timely interventions for better patient outcomes. Serial imaging helps track the progression or regression of critical illnesses, assisting in dynamic treatment adjustments. Critical care imaging offers non-invasive ways to visualize internal organs, blood vessels, and abnormalities in real-time. Imaging serves as a guide for invasive procedures, ensuring accuracy and minimizing risks during critical interventions. In critical care, imaging is crucial for assessing neurological conditions, including traumatic brain injuries or strokes. Critical care imaging helps map vascular structures, identifying clots, aneurysms, or other abnormalities impacting blood flow. Integration of various imaging modalities enhances the overall understanding of complex critical conditions. Advances like bedside imaging allow for continuous monitoring, facilitating real-time adjustments in critical care management.

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.
