RSV & Bronchiolitis : Clinical Features & Treatment
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common cause of bronchiolitis, primarily affecting infants and young children, characterized by inflammation of the small airways in the lungs. Clinical features of RSV bronchiolitis include cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing, nasal congestion, and fever, often presenting with rapid onset and worsening respiratory distress. In severe cases, infants may exhibit signs of respiratory distress, such as retractions, grunting, and cyanosis, necessitating urgent medical attention. Diagnosis of RSV bronchiolitis is often based on clinical presentation and confirmed through laboratory testing, such as nasopharyngeal swabs for RSV antigen detection. Treatment of RSV bronchiolitis is primarily supportive and includes adequate hydration, supplemental oxygen therapy, and monitoring for signs of respiratory failure.

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.
