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. ⋯ The overall proportion of patients admitted to ICU who have anaphylaxis as a principal diagnosis has increased. In-hospital mortality remains low despite the need for vital organ support. Further studies should investigate these identified factors that may predict in-hospital mortality among these patients.

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. ⋯ In Australia and New Zealand, compliance with evidence-based practices including LPV and prone positioning was low in this cohort. Therapies with proven benefit in the treatment of patients with moderate-severe ARDS, such as lung protective ventilation and prone positioning, were not routinely employed.

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. ⋯ Twenty-two recommendations were developed aiming to make the process of completing the mandatory CICM research project more efficient, and to improve the quality of research produced from these projects.
