Mastering Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation is an important strategy for sustaining life in acute or emergent settings, especially in patients with damaged airways, poor breathing, or hypoxic respiratory failure. This treatment uses positive pressure breaths and relies on the airway system's compliance and resistance. Clinicians in critical care units must grasp how mechanical ventilation influences patient physiology and reaction to diverse disease states, highlighting the importance of a thorough understanding of safe use guidelines. A thorough understanding of human physiology and airway mechanics concepts is essential for clinicians treating intubated patients, laying the groundwork for safe and effective breathing techniques. This understanding is critical for recognizing key indications for invasive mechanical ventilation, such as airway compromise, protection in obtunded individuals or those with dynamic airways.

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.
