Diagnosis of Intra Amniotic Infections
Infection of the chorion, amnion, amniotic fluid, placenta, or a combination of these is referred to as intra-amniotic infection. Obstetric difficulties and issues in the foetus and newborn are more likely to occur when there is infection. Fever, uterine pain, foul-smelling amniotic fluid, purulent cervical discharge, and foetal or maternal tachycardia are all signs of the condition. The diagnosis is made using particular clinical criteria or, in the case of a subclinical illness, amniotic fluid investigation. Antipyretics, delivery, and broad-spectrum antibiotics are all included in the treatment. Intra-amniotic infection can lead to preterm PROM or preterm delivery as well as be one of their effects. 50 percent of preterm births are caused by this virus. It happens in 33% of cases of premature labor with intact membranes, 40% of cases of PROM with contractions at admission, and 75% of cases of labor starting after hospitalization for PROM.

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.
