Cryopreserved platelets can be stored for up to 2 yrs, compared to 7 days for liquid-stored platelets. This cost-effectiveness analysis found that cryopreserved platelets were costlier & less effective for managing bleeding in cardiac surgery.#CCRdownunder ja.ma/4iQw6vm

And that’s a wrap! Stepping up to the microphone @abcmelbourne #TheConversationHour today to discuss ICU survivorship with @HainesKimberley from @western_health and @CritCareUniMelb and @belmac_IC Listening to patient stories & striving to improve our care during & after ICU
If you haven’t been following the UK COVID enquiry you must catch-up. The discourse of embedding research into clinical practice with available research infrastructure is vital. Funding support for #ClinicalTrialNetworks
& #ClinicalResearchNurses is important!
This week Ganesh and I gave evidence about the report we had written for the @covidinquiryuk. Our report can be found at covid19.public-inquiry.uk/do…
For those that won't read a >100 page report (you should!), I thought I'd highlight some of our lessons learned/recommendations. 1/6

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.
Prof @Kevin_Fong (Former National Clinical Adviser in Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response) is giving evidence to the Inquiry today.

Very excited to finally be launching this Australian Clinical Research Nurse/Midwife survey.
Please share so we can reach as many Australian CRN/Ms as possible!

Love this trial. Do you know how happy this will make ICU nurses? No more chasing the >4.5mEq/L target post cardiac surgery. Threshold of >3.6mEq/L is ok for patients, more cost effective and makes nurses happy. Win! Win! Win!

The fabulous @ruthendacott has joined us #downunder at @anzicsctg #IRCIG research coordinator workshop. Sharing the responsibility of patient advocacy in delivering research is everyone’s role in critical care.
I love this story. Once a nurse, always a nurse. After losing her husband and surviving cancer, Neysa King came out of retirement and went back to uni abc.net.au/news/2024-03-03/m… via @ABCaustralia
So good to have a catch up with the hard working VIC Anaesthesia #ResearchCoordinators @ctn_anzca @ANZCA Thanks to @SofiaSquid for our @CritCareUniMelb venue and @RobPacker8 for your support!
