    Abstract Introduction: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU) but a high net ultrafiltration rate (UFNET) calculated with daily data may increase mortality. We aimed to study early UFNET practice using minute-by-minute CRRT machine recordings and to assess its association with admission diagnosis and mortality.
    Methods: We studied CRRT treatments in three adult ICUs over 7 years. We calculated early UFNET rates minute-by-minute and categorized UFNET into tertiles of mean UFNET in the first 72 h and admission diagnosis. We applied Cox-proportional hazards modelling with censoring of patients who died within 72 h.
    Results: We studied 1,218 patients, 154,712 h, and 9,282,729 min of CRRT (5,702 circuits). Mean early UFNET was 1.52 (1.46-1.57) mL/kg/h. Early UFNET tertiles were similar to, but somewhat higher than, previously reported values at 0.00-1.20 mL/kg/h, 1.21-1.93 mL/kg/h, and >1.93 mL/kg/h. UFNET values were similar whether evaluated at 24 or 72 h or for the entire duration of CRRT. There was, however, significant variation in UFNET practice by admission diagnosis: higher in respiratory diseases (pneumonia p = 0.01, other p < 0.0001) and cardiovascular disease (p = 0.005) but lower in cardiothoracic surgery (p = 0.04), renal (p = 0.0003) and toxicology-associated diagnoses (p = 0.01). Higher UFNET was associated with an increased hazard of death, HR 1.24 (1.13-1.37), independent of admission diagnosis, weight, age, sex, presence of end-stage kidney disease, and severity of illness.
    Conclusion: Early UFNET practice varies significantly by admission diagnosis. Higher early UFNET is independently associated with mortality. Impacts of UFNET on mortality may vary by admission diagnosis. Further work is required to elucidate the nature and mechanisms responsible for this association.

    Abstract Patients with respiratory failure may remain hypoxemic despite treatment with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Therapeutic hypothermia is a potential treatment for such hypoxia as it reduces cardiac output ( ) and oxygen consumption. We modified a previously published mathematical model of gas exchange to investigate the effects of hypothermia during VV-ECMO. Partial pressures were expressed as measured at 37°C (α-stat). The effect of hypothermia on gas exchange was examined in four clinical scenarios of hypoxemia on VV-ECMO, each with different physiological derangements. All scenarios had arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2 ) ≤ 46 mm Hg and arterial oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (SaO 2 ) ≤ 81%. Three had high with low extracorporeal blood flow to ratio ( ). The problem in the fourth scenario was recirculation, with normal . Cooling to 33°C increased SaO 2 to > 89% and PaO 2 to > 50 mm Hg in all scenarios. Mixed venous oxygen saturation of hemoglobin as % ( ) increased to > 70% and mixed venous partial pressure of oxygen in mm Hg ( ) increased to > 34 mm Hg in scenarios with low . In the scenario with high recirculation, and increased, but to < 50% and < 27 mm Hg, respectively. This in silico study predicted cooling to 33°C will improve oxygenation in refractory hypoxemia on VV-ECMO, but the improvement will be less when the problem is recirculation.

    Abstract Background: A mobile chest X-ray is traditionally performed to confirm the position of an internal jugular central venous catheter (CVC) after placement in the intensive care unit (ICU). Using chest radiography to confirm CVC position often results in delays in authorising the use of the CVC, requires the deployment of additional human resources, and is costly.
    Objective: This study aimed to determine the feasibility and accuracy of using the central venous pressure (CVP) waveform to confirm the placement of internal jugular CVCs.
    Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a single quaternary ICU over a 6-month period. We included adult patients who had internal jugular CVC inserted and CVP transduced as part of their routine care in the ICU. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of CVP waveform analysis in confirming the position of internal jugular CVC relative to chest radiography were calculated.
    Results: A total of 241 internal jugular CVCs were inserted (in 219 patients, 35.6% female), and the CVP waveform was assessed. In 231 cases, this suggested adequate placement in a central vein, which corresponded with a correct position on subsequent chest X-ray. On six occasions, the CVP waveforms were interpreted as suboptimal; however, on chest X-rays, the CVCs were noted to be in a suitable position (sensitivity: 97.5%). Four suboptimal CVP waveforms were obtained, and they correctly identified CVC malposition on subsequent chest X-ray (specificity: 100%). The average time from CVC insertion to radiological completion was 118 minutes.
    Conclusion: CVP waveform analysis provides a feasible and reliable method for confirming adequate internal jugular CVC position. The use of chest radiography can be limited to cases where suboptimal CVP waveforms are obtained.

    Abstract Objectives: To examine the association between inter-hospital transfer and in-hospital mortality among people with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Australia.
    Design: Retrospective cohort study; analysis of data collected for the Short Period Incidence Study of Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SPRINT-SARI) Australia study.
    Setting, participants: People with COVID-19 admitted to 63 ICUs, 1 January 2020 - 1 April 2022.
    Main outcome measures: Primary outcome: in-hospital mortality; secondary outcomes: ICU and hospital lengths of stay and frequency of selected complications.
    Results: Of 5207 people with records in the SPRINT-SARI Australia database at 1 April 2022, 328 (6.3%) had been transferred between hospitals, 305 (93%) during the third pandemic wave. Compared with patients not transferred, their median age was lower (53 years; interquartile range [IQR], 45-61 years v 60 years; IQR, 46-70 years), their median body mass index higher (32.5 [IQR, 27.2-39.0] kg/m
    Conclusions: Among people with COVID-19 admitted to ICUs, patients transferred from another hospital required more intense interventions and remained in hospital longer, but were not at greater risk of dying in hospital than the patients who were not transferred.
