DVT and Beyond : Diagnosis, Prevention and Management
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where blood clots form in the deep veins, typically in the legs, causing potential complications if these clots break loose and travel to the lungs. It is often linked to immobility, surgery, pregnancy, and certain medical conditions. Early diagnosis through symptoms like leg swelling and pain is crucial, as DVT can lead to pulmonary embolism. Treatment involves blood-thinning medications and preventive measures such as movement, compression stockings, and lifestyle adjustments to minimize risks.

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.
