Ventilator management during weaning is a critical phase in patient care, focusing on gradually reducing ventilator support as the patient regains respiratory strength. It involves careful monitoring of respiratory parameters and the patient's ability to breathe independently. Clinicians must adjust ventilator settings to encourage spontaneous breathing while preventing respiratory fatigue. Regular assessments ensure the patient maintains adequate gas exchange and overall stability. Successful weaning requires a multidisciplinary approach, integrating.

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.
