Management of Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Pediatric diabetes, primarily type 1, is a condition in which a child’s pancreas produces little or no insulin. Early diagnosis is vital, as symptoms like frequent urination, excessive thirst, and weight loss can appear quickly. Managing pediatric diabetes involves consistent blood sugar monitoring, insulin therapy, and a well-balanced diet that supports growth and development. Education for both the child and family is essential to manage diabetes effectively and confidently. Regular physical activity is also recommended, as it helps enhance insulin sensitivity and supports overall health.

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.
