Sampling and Sample Size calculation for Medical Research
Sampling in medical research involves selecting a subset of individuals from a larger population to study. The sample size calculation is crucial for determining the number of participants needed to ensure statistical validity and reliable results. Factors such as the desired level of confidence, anticipated effect size, variability, and statistical power are considered to strike a balance between precision and practicality. Adequate sample size enhances the generalizability of findings and supports the robustness of research outcomes, providing a foundation for evidence-based medical practices.

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.
