Misunderstood Coagulopathy in Liver Diseases
An indicator of the clinical efficacy of vitamin-K antagonist therapy is the international normalized ratio (INR). Nonetheless, it is frequently employed in the acute context to evaluate the level of coagulopathy in individuals suffering from acute liver failure or hepatic cirrhosis. This frequently affects therapeutic choices regarding invasive operations or the necessity of potentially hazardous and needless blood product transfusions. This might not be an evidence-based or best-practice method of patient care. Using a number of scholarly search engines, the author conducted a study of the literature regarding the usefulness of INR in cirrhosis patients. The literature contradicts the widely held belief that a cirrhotic patient's elevated INR during invasive operations translates into a higher risk of hemorrhagic events.

Upcoming Case Discussions
A Case Based Approach to Acute Care Bronchoscopy: Skills for the Intensivists
A Case-Based Approach to Acute Care Bronchoscopy: Skills for the Intensivists focuses on enhancing practical bronchoscopy skills essential for managing critically ill patients. Through real-world case discussions, the session will cover key techniques, decision-making strategies, and troubleshooting during acute interventions. It aims to build confidence in handling airway emergencies, performing diagnostic procedures, and improving patient outcomes in the ICU. This interactive approach ensures intensivists are better prepared to apply bronchoscopy effectively in urgent care settings.
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
Approach to severe hyperkalemia in ICU
Approach to Severe Hyperkalemia in the ICU focuses on rapid identification and targeted intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. The session outlines key steps including ECG monitoring, membrane stabilization with calcium gluconate, intracellular potassium shift using insulin-dextrose and beta-agonists, and potassium elimination via diuretics or dialysis. It emphasizes prioritizing reversible causes like renal failure or medication-induced hyperkalemia. Real-world ICU scenarios and evidence-based protocols will guide clinicians in managing this critical electrolyte emergency effectively.
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.
