Intensive Care Management of Toxicological Emergencies
Intensive care management of toxicological emergencies involves a comprehensive approach to assessing, stabilizing, and treating patients who have been exposed to toxic substances. Promptly assess the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation to ensure their vital functions are stable. Provide supportive measures, including maintaining oxygenation and ventilation, establishing intravenous access, and monitoring vital signs. Continuously monitor the patient's vital signs, cardiac rhythm, oxygen saturation, and urine output to detect any changes or complications. Conduct a thorough toxicological screening to identify the specific toxin or toxins involved and guide further management. Administer specific antidotes if available and indicated based on the identified toxin. Ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation through supplemental oxygen, non-invasive ventilation, or intubation and mechanical ventilation if necessary.

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.
