Indigenous Critical Care: Demographics, Characteristics & Outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Patients in ICU

This thesis examines critical illness amongst Indigenous Australians. It describes the epidemiology and outcomes of their admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), as well as exploring differences in how end-of-life is viewed and discussed by patients, their families and clinicians. It highlights areas of inequity, and areas in which healthcare delivery can be improved, ideally through Indigenous led interventions.
