Placental Disorders
Placental disorders refer to a group of conditions that affect the function and structure of the placenta during pregnancy. One common placental disorder is placental abruption, which occurs when the placenta detaches from the uterine wall before delivery, leading to bleeding and potentially compromising the oxygen and nutrient supply to the fetus. Placenta previa is another placental disorder where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, posing a risk of bleeding during pregnancy or labor. Placental insufficiency is a condition in which the placenta is unable to provide adequate oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus, potentially resulting in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or low birth weight. Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder that affects both the mother and the placenta, characterized by high blood pressure and organ damage. It can impair placental function and lead to complications such as fetal growth restriction or preterm birth.

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.
