Regional access to a centralized extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) service in Victoria, Australia
CONCLUSION: Victorian ECMO incidence rates were low. We did not find evidence of inequity of access to ECMO irrespective of regional area or socioeconomic status.PMID:38690191 | PMC:PMC11056431 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.11.007 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)

An intensivist-led ECMO accreditation pathway and safety data over the first 4 years
CONCLUSIONS: Our experience of the first four years of an intensivist-led ECMO service demonstrates that our training process and cannulation technique result in the provision of a complex therapy with low levels of complications, on par with those in the published literature.PMID:38690187 | PMC:PMC11056391 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.11.006 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)

Physiological changes after fluid bolus therapy in cardiac surgery patients: A propensity score matched case-control study
CONCLUSION: In this quasi-experimental comparative ICU study in cardiac surgery patients, FBT was associated with statistically significant but numerically small increases in CO. Nearly half of FBT failed to induce a positive CO or MAP response.PMID:38690188 | PMC:PMC11056405 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.11.005 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)

Services for critical and emergency care of children in Victoria
Crit Care Resusc. 2023 Dec 14;26(1):54-57. doi: 10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.11.008. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTThe population of children requiring intensive care in Victoria has increased and changed markedly since the 1990s, the result of many epidemiological, demographic, and social changes, and this is more evident during and after the Covid pandemic. The model of ultra-centralised paediatric intensive care services in the 1990s is not sufficient for the current era, and services are under daily pressure. Solutions will take time and need to be wide-ranging, including increased critical care capacity in selected regional cen...

Hospital and long-term opioid use according to analgosedation with fentanyl vs. morphine: Findings from the ANALGESIC trial
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately one in seven opioid-naïve patients who receive analgosedation for mechanical ventilation in ICU will be prescribed opioid medications at hospital discharge. There was no difference in discharge prescription or long-term use of opioids depending on whether fentanyl or morphine was used for analgosedation.PMID:38690190 | PMC:PMC11056422 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.11.004 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)

Intensive care utilisation after elective surgery in Australia and New Zealand: A point prevalence study
CONCLUSIONS: ICU resource utilisation of patients who have undergone elective surgery is substantial. Those patients admitted directly from theatre have good outcomes and low resource utilisation. Patient admitted unplanned from the ward, although fewer, were sicker, more resource intensive and had significantly worse outcomes.PMID:38690185 | PMC:PMC11056426 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.10.010 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)

Psychological symptoms and health-related quality of life in intubated and non-intubated intensive care survivors: A multicentre, prospective observational cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Nearly one-in-two (47 %) of the intubated and non-intubated ICU survivors reported clinically significant psychological symptoms at 3 and 12-month follow-ups. Overall, more than 30 % at 3-months and over 20 % at 12-months of the survivors in both groups had moderate or worse problems with their usual activities and mobility. The presence of psychological symptoms and HRQOL impairments was similar between the groups.PMID:38690186 | PMC:PMC11056421 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.10.011 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)

Impact of frailty on long-term survival in patients discharged alive from hospital after an ICU admission with COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: Frailty was independently associated with shorter survival times to two years in patients with severe COVID-19 in ANZ following hospital discharge. Recognising frailty provides individualised patient intervention in those with frailty admitted to ICUs with severe COVID-19.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: Not applicable.PMID:38690183 | PMC:PMC11056397 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.11.001 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)
