BackgroundA multidisciplinary collaboration investigated the world's largest, most catastrophic epidemic thunderstorm asthma event that took place in Melbourne, Australia, on Nov 21, 2016, to inform mechanisms and preventive strategies.MethodsMeteorological airborne pollen data, satellite-derived vegetation index, ambulance callouts, emergency department presentations, data hospital admissions for as well leading up following were collected between March 31, 2017, analysed. We contacted...
Objective To explore associations between frailty (Clinical Frailty Scale score of 5 or more) in very old patients intensive care units (ICUs) and their clinical outcomes (mortality, discharge destination). Design, setting participants Retrospective population cohort analysis Australian New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS) Adult Patient Database data for all aged 80 years more admitted to participating ICUs 1 January 2017 31 December 2018. Main outcome measures Primary outcome:...
Abstract Background The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is the most commonly used frailty measure in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. hospital risk score (HFRS) was recently proposed for quantification of frailty. We aimed to compare HFRS with CFS critically ill patients predicting long-term survival up one year following ICU admission. Methods In this retrospective multicentre cohort study from 16 public ICUs state Victoria, Australia between 1st January 2017 and 30th June 2018, admission...
Recent advances in cancer therapeutics have improved outcomes, resulting increasing candidacy of patients with metastatic being admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). A large proportion also frailty, predisposing them poor yet the literature reporting on this is scarce. We aimed assess impact frailty survival ICU. In retrospective registry-based cohort study, we used data from Australia and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Adult Patient (age ≥16 years) database identify advanced (solid...
Abstract Objectives High-flow nasal cannulae (HFNC) are often used for oxygen delivery in intensive care units (ICU). A new configuration HNFC, the Duet HFNC, can deliver higher pressures and potentially improve gas exchange. The clinical performance, safety patient comfort of these cannula unclear. Furthermore, there is no data on performance conventional or HFNC patients with nasogastric tubes (NG) between male female patients. We compared exchange, tolerance, HFNC. Research methodology...
Objectives: Timely documentation of patient-concordant goals care (GOC) in the ICU aims to promote patient autonomy and patient-centered where harms interventions outweigh potential benefits. This study examined prevalence, timing, predictors patients undergoing new updated GOC events while ICU. Design: Multicenter retrospective study. Setting Patients: All adults admitted four ICUs from July 1, 2023, December 31, 2023. Interventions: None. Main Outcomes: The primary outcome was determine...
Background: Optimal personal protective equipment (PPE) preparedness is key to minimize healthcare workers (HCW) infection with COVID-19.This two-phase survey evaluated PPE (adherence Ministry of Health India (MoH) PPE-recommendations; HCW-training; PPE-inventory; PPE-breach management) in Indian intensive care units (ICU). Materials and methods:The phase 1 was distributed electronically intensivists from 481 hospitals between March 25, 2020, April 06, as part a multinational survey.Phase 2...
What is known and objective Medication errors on admission can persist throughout the episode of care to discharge leading inappropriate management that compromise patients' care. The aim study was develop, implement evaluate role pharmacist-led medication reconciliation charting service for patients admitted an Acute Assessment Admission Unit via Emergency Department in electronic environment at a metropolitan Australian hospital. Methods Following credentialing experienced clinical...
OBJECTIVES: A nontrivial number of patients in ICUs experience persistent critical illness (PerCI), a phenomenon which features the ICU course more consistently predict mortality than initial indication for admission. We aimed to describe PerCI among with caused by COVID-19, and these patients’ short- long-term outcomes. DESIGN: Multicenter retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Australian New Zealand Intensive Care Society Adult Patient Database 114 between January 1, 2020, March 31, 2022....
