Management of Pediatric Functional Abdominal Pain
Pediatric functional abdominal pain (FAP) is a common condition characterized by chronic, recurrent pain without identifiable organic cause. Management focuses on a biopsychosocial approach. Reassurance and education are essential to alleviate parental and patient anxiety. Dietary modifications, such as a low-FODMAP diet, can help in some cases. Pharmacological treatments, including antispasmodics or low-dose tricyclic antidepressants, may be used for severe cases. Psychological interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and gut-directed hypnotherapy, address underlying stress and anxiety. Encouraging regular physical activity and maintaining a supportive environment are also key. Multidisciplinary care improves outcomes in complex or refractory cases.

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.
