Usage of 2D Echo in Critical Care Settings
2D echo, or two-dimensional echocardiography, is a valuable diagnostic tool used in critical care settings. It provides real-time images of the heart's structures and function, aiding in the assessment and management of critically ill patients. In critical care, 2D echo is used to evaluate cardiac function and detect abnormalities that may require immediate intervention. It allows for the visualization of the heart's chambers, valves, and blood flow patterns, providing crucial information for decision-making. 2D echo helps in the assessment of myocardial contractility, which is vital in monitoring and managing critically ill patients. It is useful in evaluating and diagnosing conditions such as myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathies, and pericardial diseases. In critical care settings, 2D echo aids in the detection of complications like cardiac tamponade or acute valvular dysfunction. It helps assess the impact of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or sepsis on cardiac function. It assists in identifying the cause of shock, such as cardiogenic, hypovolemic, obstructive, or distributive shock. 2D echo can detect right ventricular dysfunction, which is a common feature in acute respiratory failure or pulmonary embolism. It helps guide fluid resuscitation by evaluating left ventricular filling pressures and assessing volume status.

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.
