Impaired consciousness is a significant alteration in the awareness of self and environment with varying degree of wakefulness.
Unconsciousness persisting for at lest 1 hr – Coma.
Younger children more likely to have coma or altered sensorium secondary to non-traumatic etiology, where as traumatic brain injury is more common in older children.
Always rule out reversible causes of coma, like hypoglycemia, hyperglycaemia and electrolyte imbalance.
Any severe systemic illness can cause altered consciousness as a result of hypoxic ischemic insult, which if on-going can aggravate raised ICT.
Dysphagia is a common complication following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery, with reported rates of dysphagia within the first week post-operatively ranging from 1-79% in studies. Risk factors for developing dysphagia may include increased age, pre-existing swallowing issues, multiple medical comorbidities, revision surgery, prolonged operative time, and smoking. While dysphagia usually improves over time, early speech language pathology (SLP) evaluation can help identify dysphagia and reduce risks of complications like aspiration pneumonia that result in longer hospital stays and higher costs.
This document discusses neonatal resuscitation and the physiologic changes that occur at birth. It covers topics like fetal circulation, oxygenation, the transition at delivery, signs of a compromised newborn, resuscitative steps including providing warmth, clearing the airway, stimulation and ventilation. Positive pressure ventilation techniques like bag-mask ventilation are described. The importance of anticipating resuscitation needs, preparing appropriately, and understanding the heart rate response to determine next steps is emphasized. Maintaining normal body temperature and oxygen saturation targets are also addressed.
The document summarizes new guidelines for pediatric resuscitation. Key recommendations include simplifying airway opening techniques for lay rescuers, using a single compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2 for single rescuers, and emphasizing the importance of continuous chest compressions with limited interruptions. It also discusses appropriate use of automated external defibrillators for children of different ages, drug administration routes, and indicators for when to stop resuscitation efforts.
Neonatal resuscitation involves a series of actions to assist newborns having difficulty transitioning from the womb to outside world. It has evolved over time from techniques like chest compressions to modern practices like providing positive pressure ventilation and supplemental oxygen. International guidelines developed by ILCOR provide evidence-based recommendations for newborn resuscitation. These guidelines are updated every 5 years based on the latest research findings. The goal of newborn resuscitation is to quickly establish breathing and a heart rate above 60 beats per minute through airway management, ventilation, chest compressions and medications if needed. Hypothermia prevention and treatment of hypoglycemia are also important aspects of newborn care after resuscitation.
The document discusses the components and goals of Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). PALS involves assessing and supporting pulmonary and circulatory functions before, during, and after cardiac arrest in children. It utilizes basic life support techniques as well as advanced medical devices and pharmacological interventions. The document outlines the initial diagnosis process using ABCDE (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure), as well as secondary diagnosis involving a focused history and physical exam. Key resuscitation tools like intraosseous access and bag-mask ventilation are also described. The ultimate goal of PALS is to save children's lives during medical emergencies.

Management of status epilepticus in childrenReyad Al_Faky
Status epilepticus is defined as continuous seizure activity lasting more than 5 minutes or recurrent seizures without regaining consciousness between seizures. It can be convulsive or nonconvulsive and is a medical emergency requiring rapid treatment to prevent neurological injury. Initial treatment involves maintaining airway, breathing, and circulation while administering benzodiazepines like diazepam or midazolam. If seizures continue, additional anti-seizure medications are given in the hospital along with diagnostic testing and treatment of any underlying causes. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with prolonged seizure activity.
HIE is graded into 3 stages based on severity:
Mild (Grade 1): Subtle signs like lethargy, poor feeding
Moderate (Grade 2): Seizures, abnormal reflexes
Severe (Grade 3): Coma, respiratory failure, hypotonia
The severity of HIE correlates with long term outcomes
like cerebral palsy and developmental delay.
Management of HIE focuses on supportive care, seizure
control, neuroprotection. Hypothermia therapy reduces
mortality and disability in infants with moderate-severe
HIE.

Anaesthetic Care of the Unconscious, Multiple Trauma and Burns PatientLasonya Fletcher
Trauma accounts for a significant percentage of hospital admissions, and is a leading cause of death among young Americans. Anaesthesiologists play a key role in the care of trauma patients, from initial resuscitation to surgical intervention. A multi-step approach is used, beginning with the primary survey to address life threats and stabilize the patient, followed by a full secondary survey and indicated investigations, and concluding with a tertiary survey before discharge to identify any missed injuries. Special considerations are required for head injuries, spinal trauma, chest trauma, and other conditions.
The document discusses pediatric resuscitation, including the chain of survival, causes of cardiac arrest in children, basic life support sequences, advanced life support, and neonatal resuscitation guidelines. It notes that rapid bystander CPR and access to emergency services are key to survival for children experiencing cardiac arrest. For newborns, the document outlines assessing respiration, heart rate, muscle tone and gestational age to determine if resuscitation is required, with steps including warming, clearing airways, and ventilation or compressions if needed. Endotracheal intubation may be used during resuscitation of newborns when other methods are ineffective or for procedures like suctioning meconium.
Paediatric basic life support (PBLS) involves resuscitation procedures to prevent anoxic brain damage and promote circulation and breathing in children. The key steps of PBLS are CAB - checking for circulation (C) by feeling for a pulse, opening the airway (A), and giving rescue breaths (B). For infants and children in cardiac arrest, high-quality chest compressions at least 100/min that depress the sternum 1/3 its depth are critical, along with proper head positioning and rescue breathing. PBLS should continue for 2 minutes in cycles of 30 compressions to 2 breaths before emergency help arrives or switching rescuers.
This document provides guidance on assessing and managing pediatric respiratory emergencies. It defines respiratory distress, failure, and arrest and outlines how to use the Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT) including examining the child's appearance, work of breathing, and circulation. Specific conditions discussed include croup, epiglottitis, foreign body aspiration, asthma, and bronchiolitis. Treatment recommendations are provided for different severity levels. The document stresses the importance of proper assessment to determine if a child needs on-scene treatment or rapid transport to definitive care.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
