Correction to “Evaluating the Introduction of Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy Into an Australian Aeromedical Service Within a Paediatric Population: A Retrospective Cohort Study”

Abstract

C. Yap, A. Withers, N. Ghedina, and E. O'Connell, “Evaluating the Introduction of Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy Into an Australian Aeromedical Service Within a Paediatric Population: A Retrospective Cohort Study,” Emergency Medicine Australasia 37, no. 4 (2025): e70105, https://doi.org/10.1111/1742-6723.70105.

In Paragraph 4 of the Introduction section, the citations are incorrect. The paragraph should read as follows:

For context, this study has taken place in Western Australia (WA). WA's population was 2.7 million in 2021 and covers over 2.5 million square kilometres, making it the second largest country subdivision in the world [14]. There is one tertiary paediatric centre in WA, Perth Children's Hospital (PCH). Perth Children's Hospital is relatively new, replacing Princess Margaret Hospital in 2018. PCH has a 298-bed capacity and sees 30,000 admissions per year [15]. The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) is a 24-hour health service that delivers healthcare to those that live in rural and remote Australia. In 2022, RFDS completed 9771 aeromedical transfers (including both adult and paediatric population) [16].

The references [14], [15] and [16] are shown below:

16. Royal Flying Doctor Service: Western Operations. Annual Report 2022. Royal Flying Doctor Service, 2022.

Therefore, the citations throughout the article that come after this paragraph should be corrected to [17], [18], [19].

Paragraph 1 of section 2.2, should be referenced as follows:

A manual chart review of aeromedical manifests and inpatient notes was used to collect data. The subset was extracted by three reviewers. Study data were collected and managed using REDCap electronic data capture tools hosted at Child and Adolescent Health Service, Perth, WA [17, 18].

Lastly, paragraph 1, sentence 4 of Section 5.1 should read as follows:

Although neonatal transfers on HHF have been described as successful by multiple studies [12, 19].
