Management of Acute Kidney Failure
Managing acute kidney failure, also known as acute kidney injury (AKI), is a critical medical intervention that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Rapidly identify the signs and symptoms of AKI, including decreased urine output, fluid retention, and elevated creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Determine and address the underlying cause of AKI, which can include dehydration, infections, medication toxicity, or underlying medical conditions. Carefully manage fluid balance, as both dehydration and fluid overload can worsen AKI. Tailor fluid administration to the patient's needs. Diuretics may be used cautiously to manage fluid overload, but their use should be monitored closely. Review and adjust medications, especially nephrotoxic drugs, which can exacerbate kidney injury. Monitor and correct electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia or hyponatremia, which can occur in AKI. Consider renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) in severe cases to remove waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream.

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.
