Ergonomics in endoscopy
Ergonomics in endoscopy is a crucial consideration for healthcare professionals performing these procedures. It involves optimizing the work environment and equipment to enhance operator comfort, minimize physical strain, and improve overall performance. Proper ergonomic design encompasses factors such as adjustable equipment height, comfortable handgrips, and adequate visual displays, aiming to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and operator fatigue. Implementation of ergonomic principles not only prioritizes the well-being of endoscopists but also contributes to procedural efficiency, ultimately enhancing patient care and safety in the field of endoscopy.

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.
