ECMO: Critical Care Lifeline
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) serves as a critical care lifeline for patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure unresponsive to conventional treatments. This advanced technology temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs, oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide externally. ECMO provides crucial support during severe illnesses, allowing time for the heart and lungs to recover. It is often used in cases of severe ARDS, cardiac arrest, or during complex surgeries. The integration of ECMO into critical care has significantly improved survival rates and outcomes for critically ill patients

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.
