Long-term outcomes of patients who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) following in-hospital cardiac arrest: Analysis of EXCEL registry data.

Objective: To describe the six-month functional outcomes of patients who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in Australia.

Design: Secondary analysis of EXCEL registry data.

Setting: EXCEL is a high-quality, prospective, binational registry including adult patients who receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in Australia and New Zealand.

"How Do I Test the Waters? How Do I Go Forward?": Codesigning a Supportive Pathway after Critical Illness.

Long-term recovery after critical illness can be affected by post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), a significant burden, which can impact return to activities and work. There is a need for streamlined support for intensive care unit (ICU) patients in their recovery while enduring PICS symptoms. To explore critical illness recovery from the experiences, perspectives, and beliefs of former ICU patients, their caregivers, and multidisciplinary clinicians to design a future rehabilitation intervention prototype to support ICU patients.

Potential role for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) during in-hospital cardiac arrest in Australia: A nested cohort study.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients who fulfilled extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) selection criteria during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).

Design: This is a nested cohort study.

Setting: Code blue data were collected across seven hospitals in Australia between July 2017 and August 2018.
