Different types of shock: Case presentation
Hypovolemic shock occurs due to severe blood or fluid loss, leading to inadequate circulating volume. Cardiogenic shock results from the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs.Anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction that causes widespread dilation of blood vessels and a drop in blood pressure. Septic shock arises from a severe infection that triggers a systemic inflammatory response and damages blood vessels. Neurogenic shock is caused by the disruption of the autonomic nervous system, leading to widespread vasodilation and decreased blood pressure. Obstructive shock occurs when there is an obstruction to blood flow, such as a pulmonary embolism or cardiac tamponade. Distributive shock is characterized by excessive vasodilation and the pooling of blood in the peripheral vessels. Distributive shock is characterized by excessive vasodilation and the pooling of blood in the peripheral vessels. Cardiac tamponade is a type of obstructive shock caused by the accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac, compressing the heart. Tension pneumothorax is another obstructive shock caused by the buildup of air in the pleural space, compressing the lungs and heart. Spinal shock results from spinal cord injury, causing temporary loss of sympathetic nervous system function and hypotension. Toxic shock syndrome is a rare but life-threatening condition caused by bacterial toxins, often associated with tampon use.

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.
