RAH ICU Facts and Figures The Royal Adelaide Hospital ICU is the busiest Level 3 Unit in South Australia, and in the 12 months from July 2014 to June 2015, we admitted 3606 patients into the 42 beds (2282 ICU, 1324 Step Down Unit). Of the ICU-level patients admitted during that time, about 21% were direct admissions following cardiac surgical procedures, 11% were trauma, 8% following thoracic surgery, 8% ‘sepsis’, and 7.5% pneumonia without sepsis. Drug overdose, cardiac arrest and ENT surgery accounted for 3% each. The major diagnostic categories for SDU admissions were following neurosurgical procedures (15%), GI surgery (13%), trauma (13%), and sepsis (7%). Operating theatres were the source of admission for 48% of our patients (51% non-elective surgery), 31% were admitted directly from the Emergency Department, 16% from the wards, and 5% were transferred directly from another hospital to our ICU. The Unit currently has 42.5 Registrars on the roster (16 registered with the College of Intensive Care Medicine) from a variety of backgrounds and training programs, and with very different levels of experience and long-term goals. http://www.icuadelaide.com.au 12 Royal Adelaide Hospital Intensive Care Unit Issue 2 - Aug 2015 Teaching and Training Congratulations to Mark Plummer who held in February this year, with 30 State.

  • Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters
    4 Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters Mark Staniforth In the nineteenth century the long sea voyage across thousands of miles of open ocean to Australia was a step into the unknown. International migration at this time usually involved travel by sea, as it had in previous centuries. Ships were the primary long distance transportation method and the movement of passengers was one of their most important functions. It has been estimated that more than 1.6 million immigrants travelled to Australia by ship between 1788 and 1900, nearly half of these people were assisted immigrants of one type or another and they came primarily from Great Britain with smaller numbers from Europe (Barrie 1989:121). In the popular imagination the ocean represented hazard and uncertainty - an alien environment in which the possibility of shipwreck loomed large. Passengers felt themselves to be at the mercy of the elements and being directly exposed to the extremes of the weather in a moving structure was a new and disconcerting experience. This fear of shipwreck can be seen in a letter from P. Harnett to his brother from Cape Town in 1832 who writes that: 'you and the family must have been frequently tormented by anxious hopes and fears of my safety or probably have heard that the vessel was wrecked and as a matter of course that I was lost' (Harnett 1832). In most respects shipwrecks, like other tragedies involving transportation, are civil or 'man made' disasters yet they also exhibit some of the 45 46 Disasters: Images and Contexts characteristics of natural disasters.l These include evoking in the victims feelings of powerlessness in the face of overwhelming natural forces and a timeframe which sometimes extends over a period of hours or even days.
