| PubMedID- 20648098 | Australian respondents were more likely than new zealand respondents to agree that it was appropriate to admit a patient: - with a non-survivable brain injury who may progress to brain death (p=0.0001); - with acute respiratory distress syndrome in the setting of relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia (p=0.0005); - in a persistent vegetative state with pneumonia due to malposition of a feeding tube (p=0.03); however, there were no differences found between australian and new zealand respondents on the appropriateness of admitting a patient: - in a persistent vegetative state with pneumonia with a non-iatrogenic cause (p=0.58); - with an infective exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a background of functional impairment (p=0.060); - of an advanced age who is unable to extubate due to drowsiness and hypoventilation following a laproscopic hernia repair (p=1.00); - suffering from a massive stroke, intubated in a crowded emergency department, but now needing extubation and palliation (p=1.00). |
