To Access Knowledge Regarding Organ Donation among Healthcare Workers and Their Willingness toward Organ Donation.

Background: In India, critical shortage of organ donations, particularly deceased donations, has led to a dire situation in India, with thousands of patients waiting for transplants and a significant number of them succumbing. One of the reasons for the shortage of organs for transplantation is unawareness and prejudiced information about organ donation. Being direct or indirect stakeholders, the knowledge regarding organ donation among healthcare workers may play an important role in the donation process.

Utility of Bedside Ultrasound Measurement of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter as a Screening Tool for raised Intracranial Pressure in Neurocritical Care Prospective Observational Study.

Intracranial pressure (ICP) needs to be monitored in neurocritical patients. There is a need for portable bedside optic nerve ultrasound (ONUS) for early diagnosis to initiate the measures to reduce ICP Objective: To find the utility of bedside ONUS to diagnose raised ICP in neurocritical care. Materials and methods: After approval from the ethical committee, a prospective observational study was conducted.

Background Mucormycosis has been identified with increasing frequency in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Aims We aimed to determine the in-hospital outcome of patients with COVID-19 associated mucormycosis (CAM). Materials and methods This was a single-center, retrospective, observational study.

Increase in Cadaver Organ Donation Rate at a Tertiary Care Hospital: 23 Years of Experience.

Background: Transplantation of Human Organ Act was passed in India in 1994 to streamline organ donation and transplantation activities. It is time to retrospect ourselves and analyze the method to increase organ donation.

Type Of Study: Retrospective observational analysis.

Impact of "Stroke Code"-Rapid Response Team: An Attempt to Improve Intravenous Thrombolysis Rate and to Shorten Door-to-Needle Time in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Objective: "Stroke code" (SC) implementation in hospitals can improve the rate of thrombolysis and the timeline in care of stroke patient.

Materials And Methods: A prospective data of patients treated for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after implementation of "SC" (post-SC era) were analyzed (2015-2016) and compared with the retrospective data of patients treated in the "pre-SC era." Parameters such as symptom-to-door, door-to-physician, door-to-imaging, door-to-needle (DTN), and symptom-to-needle time were calculated.
