Not an MCQ dump. Written, exam-length answers with definitions, tables, flowcharts, doses and pearls — organised by professional year, subject and chapter. Free to read, no login.
Final prof decides a lot. Kavach is what you wear into it.
It is every question your exam has asked, written out as a full answer — definition, classification, clinical features, investigations, management with real doses, and the pearl at the end. Always in that order, because that is the order the examiner gives marks in.
So on the day of the paper, nothing is new. You have already read the answer, in the shape you have to write it.
Two ways to get it, and the words are identical in both. The printed books and this website carry the same answers. Nothing better is kept aside for the people who pay.
Printed A4, volume by volume. For your desk, your bag, and the night before the paper when you do not want a screen anywhere near you. Order here and it comes to your address.

Discuss the management of acute exacerbation of COPD.
An acute worsening of respiratory symptoms beyond normal day-to-day variation, requiring a change in regular medication.
Graded mild, moderate or severe by the treatment each one needs — bronchodilators alone, added steroids and antibiotics, or admission.
Increased breathlessness, sputum volume and sputum purulence — the three cardinal symptoms, with wheeze, chest tightness and falling exercise tolerance.
ABG first for pH, PaCO₂ and PaO₂; chest X-ray to exclude pneumonia and pneumothorax; ECG, CBC, sputum culture if purulent.
Controlled O₂ to a target SpO₂ of 88–92%, nebulised salbutamol with ipratropium, oral prednisolone 40 mg for 5 days, antibiotics if sputum is purulent, NIV if the pH stays below 7.35.
Uncontrolled high-flow oxygen worsens hypercapnia. State the target range explicitly and you secure the mark.
Examiners give marks part by part, not one mark for the whole answer. So every answer here is built in the same five parts, in the same order. Read a few and the shape sticks — you stop thinking about it and just write. Scroll down and watch the answer beside you fill in.
One clean sentence to open with. That line on its own earns a mark, before you have written anything else.
Given as a table or a list, so it goes onto your paper fast when time is short.
Grouped the way a real case shows up in front of you, not as an A-to-Z list of signs.
The first tests you order, then the one that confirms it — and what each test is looking for.
The full treatment with actual doses, ending on the pearl or mnemonic that gets you the extra mark.
