Sleep quality and daytime sleepiness among Polish anaesthesiologists and intensivists.
We aimed to investigate sleep quality (SQ), daytime sleepiness (DS), and their relation with subject- and work-related factors among Polish anaesthesiologists. ⋯ Poor SQ and excessive DS are frequently occurring phenomena. Since sleep disturbances are also related to the nature of their profession, the problem could be reduced by introducing organisational changes at work.

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A systematic review of selection criteria, outcome measures and definitions of complications.
The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate the reporting of selection criteria and outcome measures, and to examine definitions of complications used in venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation studies (V-A ECMO). ⋯ This systematic review provides clinicians with the most commonly reported selection criteria, outcome measures and complications used in ECMO practice. However non-standardized definitions and inconsistent reporting limits their ability to inform practice. New consensus driven definitions of complications and patient centred outcomes are urgently needed.
