Multicenter Study
Australasian resuscitation of sepsis evaluation (ARISE): A multi-centre, prospective, inception cohort study.
Determine current resuscitation practices and outcomes in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with sepsis and hypoperfusion or septic shock in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). ⋯ Management of ANZ patients presenting to ED with sepsis does not routinely include protocolised, ScvO(2)-directed resuscitation. In-hospital mortality compares favourably with reported mortality in international sepsis trials and nationwide surveys of resuscitation practices.

Multicenter Study
Long-term prognosis after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with/without ST elevation myocardial infarction.
To describe the 3-year survival of patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) taking into account the presence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and evaluating prognostic factors associated with pre-hospital and hospital care. ⋯ Among 560 individuals with "primary cardiac" etiology OHCA and initiation of professional CPR, 8% survived 1 year and 7% survived 3 years. A higher survival rate among patients with STEMI was documented.
