Role of Glycemic Management in Diabetic Foot
Effective glycemic management plays a crucial role in preventing complications in diabetic foot care. Maintaining blood glucose levels within target ranges helps reduce the risk of infection, aids wound healing, and decreases inflammation. High glucose levels can impair blood flow and immune response, worsening foot ulcers and increasing the risk of amputation. Regular monitoring and tailored insulin or medication regimens are essential in managing glucose levels effectively. By stabilizing blood sugar, patients can improve healing outcomes and prevent further complications associated with diabetic foot issues.

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.
