CHEER3 was a safety and feasibility study of pre-hospital deployed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for refractory OHCA in metropolitan Australia.
Methods: This was a single jurisdiction, single-arm feasibility study.
Article Synopsis
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 377 sepsis cases from November 2018 to June 2021, revealing that AALs did not significantly impact the time to receive antibiotics or patient mortality rates.
- However, the presence of Emergency Medicine pharmacists led to quicker antibiotic administration and better appropriateness in antibiotic prescribing, suggesting their importance in sepsis management.
: To evaluate the epidemiology of rapid response team (RRT) reviews that led to intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, and to evaluate the frequency of in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCAs) among ICU patients with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Australia : Multicentre, retrospective cohort study. 48 public and private ICUs in Australia. All adults (aged ≥ 16 years) with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to participating ICUs between 25 January and 31 October 2020, as part of SPRINT-SARI (Short PeRiod IncideNce sTudy of Severe Acute Respiratory Infection) Australia, which were linked with ICUs contributing to the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Adult Patient Database (ANZICS APD).
