Summary
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) offers improved survival for cardiac arrest patients. New Zealand, an early pioneer in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), now seeks to decentralize access and address equity gaps in ECPR.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Critical Care Medicine
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an advanced life support strategy for refractory cardiac arrest.
- New Zealand (NZ) was an early adopter of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for retrieval services.
- Global advancements in ECMO technology and ECPR evidence have occurred over two decades.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine equity gaps in ECPR access and outcomes in New Zealand.
- To assess NZ's ECPR position relative to international standards.
- To propose future directions for ECPR in NZ.
Main Methods:
- Review of historical ECPR/ECMO implementation in NZ.
- Analysis of current ECPR access and outcome data (specifics not detailed in abstract).
- Comparison of NZ's ECPR framework with global developments and guidelines.
Main Results:
- NZ pioneered ECMO retrieval but maintained a single-provider model for two decades.
- Recent initiatives aim to decentralize ECMO access and formalize governance.
- Focus on identifying and addressing equity gaps in ECPR is highlighted.
Conclusions:
- NZ's ECPR approach has lagged behind global evolution despite early leadership.
- Decentralization and improved governance are crucial for modernizing ECPR.
- Addressing equity is essential for equitable ECPR outcomes nationwide.

Extrasensory perception, or ESP, suggests the ability to perceive events beyond the conventional senses of sight, hearing, and touch. Parapsychologists, who research ESP and related psychic phenomena, categorize ESP into three main types: precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance.
Precognition involves foreseeing future events, such as predicting an accident before it happens. An example of precognition could be someone dreaming about a specific event, like a car crash, which then occurs...

1.0K
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the common plasma source used in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), a technique that detects and analyzes various elements in a sample. This method is often called inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used....
