Pediatric Septic Shock : Diagnosis & Management
Pediatric septic shock, a life-threatening condition primarily caused by systemic bacterial infection, demands swift diagnosis and multidimensional management. Early recognition hinges on a high index of suspicion, integrating clinical signs like altered mental status, hypotension, tachycardia, and poor perfusion. Timely initiation of broad-spectrum antibiotics targeting likely pathogens is paramount, alongside aggressive fluid resuscitation to restore adequate perfusion. Hemodynamic support, including vasoactive agents, may be necessary to stabilize blood pressure. Close monitoring for signs of organ dysfunction guides ongoing interventions, encompassing tailored antimicrobial therapy and supportive care to mitigate complications. Collaborative efforts among multidisciplinary teams are indispensable for optimizing outcomes in pediatric septic shock.

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.
