Infection Control in the ICU
Health care workers must understand the serious consequences of infections acquired in the intensive care unit (ICU). The financial, medical, and social costs to hospitals and patients are enormous. Implementing and enforcing strict infection control measures is necessary to reduce the rate of ICU-acquired infections. It is imperative to use a multimodal approach that includes ongoing staff education programs, daily reassessments-intervention bundles, antimicrobial stewardship programs, infection prevention committees, and risk factor identification and minimization. A developing field of study in critical care is infection control in the intensive care unit.

Upcoming Case Discussions
A Case Based Approach to Acute Care Bronchoscopy: Skills for the Intensivists
A Case-Based Approach to Acute Care Bronchoscopy: Skills for the Intensivists focuses on enhancing practical bronchoscopy skills essential for managing critically ill patients. Through real-world case discussions, the session will cover key techniques, decision-making strategies, and troubleshooting during acute interventions. It aims to build confidence in handling airway emergencies, performing diagnostic procedures, and improving patient outcomes in the ICU. This interactive approach ensures intensivists are better prepared to apply bronchoscopy effectively in urgent care settings.
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
Approach to severe hyperkalemia in ICU
Approach to Severe Hyperkalemia in the ICU focuses on rapid identification and targeted intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. The session outlines key steps including ECG monitoring, membrane stabilization with calcium gluconate, intracellular potassium shift using insulin-dextrose and beta-agonists, and potassium elimination via diuretics or dialysis. It emphasizes prioritizing reversible causes like renal failure or medication-induced hyperkalemia. Real-world ICU scenarios and evidence-based protocols will guide clinicians in managing this critical electrolyte emergency effectively.
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.
