ClinConnect Summary

The EXCEL Registry is a study looking at patients in Australia and New Zealand who need a special life-support treatment called ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation). This treatment is used for people who are very sick, often with serious lung or heart problems. The goal of the study is to collect detailed information about these patients, including how they are chosen for ECMO, any complications that might arise, the costs involved, and their experiences after treatment. By gathering this data, researchers hope to identify areas where current practices can be improved.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be adults who are admitted to a hospital and receive ECMO treatment in Australia or New Zealand. There are no specific exclusions, meaning anyone who meets the age requirement and receives ECMO can potentially take part. Those who join the study can expect to contribute to important research that may improve the care of future patients needing ECMO. The information collected will help healthcare providers understand the best practices and challenges related to this complex treatment.
