Critically ill patients suffer disrupted sleep. Hypnotic medications may improve sleep; however, local epidemiological data regarding the amount of nocturnal time awake and the use of such medications is needed.

To describe the proportion of patients admitted to intensive care who have anaphylaxis as a principal diagnosis and their subsequent outcomes in Australia and New Zealand.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and cost. We aimed to describe characteristics and management of adult patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Australia and New Zealand with moderate-severe ARDS, to better understand contemporary practice.

Targeted mild hypercapnia is a potential neuroprotective therapy after cardiac arrest. In this exploratory observational study, we aimed to explore the effects of targeted mild hypercapnia on cerebral microvascular resistance assessed by middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (MCA PI) and intracranial pressure estimated by optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients.

Modern intensive care for moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI) focuses on managing intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). This approach lacks robust clinical evidence and often overlooks the impact of hypoxic injuries. Emerging monitoring modalities, particularly those capable of measuring brain tissue oxygen, represent a promising avenue for advanced neuromonitoring. Among these, brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO) shows the most promising results. However, there is still a lack of consensus regarding the interpretation of PbtO in clinical practice. This review aims to provide an overview of the pathophysiological rationales, monitoring technology, physiological determinants, and recent clinical trial evidence for PbtO monitoring in the management of msTBI.

Frequent measurement of creatinine by point-of-care testing (POCT) may facilitate the earlier detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. However, no robust data exist to confirm its equivalence to central laboratory testing. We aimed to conduct a multicenter study to compare POCT with central laboratory creatinine (CrC) measurement.

Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence focused on enabling computers to interpret and analyse text-based data. The intensive care specialty is known to generate large volumes of data, including free-text, however, NLP applications are not commonly used either in critical care clinical research or quality improvement projects. This review aims to provide an overview of how NLP has been used in the intensive care specialty and promote an understanding of NLP's potential future clinical applications.

To determine the perceived barriers and enablers to efficient completion of the College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM) of Australia and New Zealand Formal Project - a trainee research project mandated for award of CICM Fellowship - and to develop consensus-based recommendations to support Intensive Care trainees and supervisors.

Monitoring healthcare quality is challenging in paediatric critical care due to measure variability, data collection burden, and uncertainty regarding consumer and clinician priorities.

Intensive care unit (ICU) cost estimates are critical to achieving healthcare system efficiency and sustainability. We aimed to review the published literature describing ICU costs in Australia.

To describe the characteristics and outcomes of Pacific and European patients admitted to New Zealand (NZ) intensive care units (ICUs) 2009-2018.

This article describes the statistical analysis plan for the Biomarker-guided intervention to prevent AKI after major surgery (BigpAK-2) trial.

The effect of conservative vs. liberal oxygen therapy on 90-day in-hospital mortality in adults with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) following a cardiac arrest who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is uncertain.
