Science Behind Resuscitation
Resuscitation is a critical medical intervention aimed at restoring spontaneous circulation and breathing in individuals experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. The science behind resuscitation involves a multifaceted approach, including prompt recognition of the emergency, initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to maintain blood circulation and oxygenation, defibrillation to correct life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, and advanced life support interventions such as airway management and medication administration. Key principles underlying successful resuscitation include early access to care, high-quality CPR, effective teamwork and communication among healthcare providers, and timely integration of advanced interventions based on the latest evidence-based guidelines. The ultimate goal of resuscitation is to improve the chances of survival with good neurological outcomes for patients in cardiac or respiratory arrest.

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.
