Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 297965 0
Diaphragm thickness as measured by diagnostic ultrasound
Timepoint [1] 297965 0
Measured on cannulation of ECMO, and then every 48 hours until decannulation of ECMO.
Secondary outcome [1] 322780 0
Mechanical ventilation time. Mechanical ventilation time is assesed by extracting data from MetaVision. The Prince Charles Hospital electronic medical record system in the ICU which is linked to both the mechanical ventilator and ECMO circuits
Timepoint [1] 322780 0
Patients total mechanical ventilation time
Secondary outcome [2] 322781 0
Duration of mechanical ventilation weaning process. Mechanical ventilation time is assesed by extracting data from MetaVision. The Prince Charles Hospital electronic medical record system in the ICU which is linked to both the mechanical ventilator and ECMO circuits
Timepoint [2] 322781 0
Patients total mechanical ventilation weaning process time
Secondary outcome [3] 322782 0
Re-intubation rate. Reintubation rate will be assesed by extracting data from MetaVision. The Prince Charles Hospital electronic medical record system in the ICU which is linked to both the mechanical ventilator and ECMO circuits
Timepoint [3] 322782 0
Number of times patient re-intubated post extubation. This will be assessed via extracting data from MetaVision. The Prince Charles Hospital electronic medical record system in the ICU. This will be from the first attempt at a patients exubation to successful discharge from the ICU in that episode of care. It will not seperate ICU admissions for that patient.
