Use of Ultrasound in ICU
Intensivists who manage critically sick patients frequently employ point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS), which allows them to correctly and quickly check for a variety of diseases, including pneumothorax, pulmonary edema, hydronephrosis, hemoperitoneum, and deep vein thrombosis, among others. Transesophageal echocardiogram is commonly used in basic and advanced critical care echocardiography to identify the cause of hemodynamic instability in undifferentiated shock and to direct treatment. Studies have shown that respiratory fluctuation of the IVC is unreliable, and the most promising POCUS technique for assessing volume status is monitoring of aortic blood flow velocity following passive leg raising procedures.

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.
