    Abstract Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is an important global health issue with high in-hospital mortality. Importantly, the impact of ARDS extends beyond the acute phase, with increased mortality and disability for months to years after hospitalization. These findings underscore the importance of extended follow-up to assess and address the Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), characterized by persistent impairments in physical, cognitive, and/or mental health status that impair quality of life over the long-term. Persistent muscle weakness is a common physical problem for ARDS survivors, affecting mobility and activities of daily living. Critical illness and related interventions, including prolonged bed rest and overuse of sedatives and neuromuscular blocking agents during mechanical ventilation, are important risk factors for ICU-acquired weakness. Deep sedation also increases the risk of delirium in the ICU, and long-term cognitive impairment. Corticosteroids also may be used during management of ARDS, particularly in the setting of COVID-19. Corticosteroids can be associated with myopathy and muscle weakness, as well as prolonged delirium that increases the risk of long-term cognitive impairment. The optimal duration and dosage of corticosteroids remain uncertain, and there's limited long-term data on their effects on muscle weakness and cognition in ARDS survivors. In addition to physical and cognitive issues, mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, are common in ARDS survivors. Strategies to address these complications emphasize the need for consistent implementation of the evidence-based ABCDEF bundle, which includes daily management of analgesia in concert with early cessation of sedatives, avoidance of benzodiazepines, daily delirium monitoring and management, early mobilization, and incorporation of family at the bedside. In conclusion, ARDS is a complex global health challenge with consequences extending beyond the acute phase. Understanding the links between critical care management and long-term consequences is vital for developing effective therapeutic strategies and improving the quality of life for ARDS survivors.

    Abstract Background: The quality of life for individuals with chronic wounds is diminished due to poor health-related outcomes and the financial burden of wound care. The literature has shown nurse-led wound care to have a positive impact on wound healing and psychosocial wellbeing. However, there is minimal research investigating the lived experience of attending a nurse-led clinic for chronic wounds. The purpose of this study was to explore the client and family experience of attending a nurse-led clinic for chronic wounds.
    Methods: Qualitative descriptive study. Semi-structured telephone interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was undertaken.
    Results: Twelve clients and two family members participated, and the average length of interviews was 20min. Three main themes emerged: (1) expecting and managing pain; (2) receiving expert advice and reflecting on previous care; and (3) managing the cost of care. There was an emphasis on the impact of chronic wounds on pain and the ability to complete the activities of daily living. Expert advice, client satisfaction and physical accessibility were highlighted as benefits of the clinic. Cost and minimal client education were identified as challenges of the clinic.
    Conclusions: The findings demonstrated that chronic wounds have a significant impact on the client and family attending the nurse-led clinic. Comprehensive pain assessment, improved social support, better client education and cost-effective care is required to optimise the experience for people attending the nurse-led clinic.

    Abstract Introduction/aims: Enteral feeding via gastrostomy is a key intervention to prevent significant weight loss in Motor Neuron Disease (MND). The aim of this study was to explore demographic, clinical, and nutritional factors associated with survival time in MND patients with gastrostomy.
    Methods: The retrospective study analyzed 94 MND patients (n = 58 bulbar-onset and n = 36 limb-onset) who underwent gastrostomy between 2015 and 2021. The primary outcome was the survival time from gastrostomy insertion to death. Independent variables of interest explored were: age at gastrostomy insertion, disease onset type, known genetic cause, use of riluzole, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) use, forced vital capacity prior to gastrostomy, weight loss from diagnosis to gastrostomy insertion, and body mass index (BMI) at the time of gastrostomy insertion.
    Results: The median survival time from gastrostomy to death was 357 days (± 29.3, 95%CI: 299.5, 414.5). Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test revealed patients with lower body mass index <18.5 kg/m
    Discussion: Preventing or minimizing weight loss from MND diagnosis and encouraging NIV use when clinically indicated are modifiable factors that may prolong the survival of MND patients with gastrostomy.
