We conducted a single‐centre observational study of retrievals for severe respiratory failure over 12 months. Our intensivist‐delivered retrieval service has mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation capabilities. Sixty patients were analysed: 34 (57%) were female and the mean (SD) age was 44.1 (13.6) years. The mean (SD) PaO2/FIO2 ratio at referral was 10.2 (4.1) kPa and median (IQR [range]) Murray...

We therefore conducted a manikin‐based study of a simulated cardiac arrest to evaluate the ability of three ventilating devices to provide guideline‐consistent ventilation. Mean (SD) minute ventilation was reduced with the paediatric self‐inflating...
