Green innovation adoption is usually believed to be able to confer strategic and competitive benefits to the adopting firms. This paper aims to develop a model that analyzes factors influencing mindful adoption of green innovation. Organizational mindfulness is an organizational attitude that allows firms to be a preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify interpretations, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience, and deference to expertise. Firms require mindfulness thinking in green innovation adoption. Although studies on green innovation adoption can be found in the literature, less is known about organizational mindfulness in green innovation adoption. A conceptual model regarding determinants affecting mindfulness thinking in green innovation adoption is proposed in this paper. The determinant factors are grouped into technological, organizational and environmental dimensions, and the corresponding influence of each factor on mindful adoption of green innovation is discussed. This study can broaden the scope of research on environmental management and organizational mindfulness theory, and contribute to an insight into mindful adoption of green innovation.

Objectives: The outcome of patients after OHCA is poor. Return to spontaneous circulation (ROSC) dramatically decreases with the duration of CPR. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been proposed to assist CPR (ECPR) in OHCA. This study was to investigate the effects and characteristics of ECPR for adult non-traumatic (ANT) OHCA versus Non-ECPR on a community-wide basis. Methods: A prospective four-year observational database collected from a community-wide OHCA web registry in an urban EMS (emergency medical services) was studied. The EMS ambulance teams were capable with advanced airway, intravenous (iv) fluid skills, basic and advanced life support and automated external defibrillator techniques. Outcomes included survival and cerebral performance category scale (CPC) at discharge. ANT OHCA with and without ECPR in emergency were compared by regression analysis including factors of patient, pre-hospital and hospital characteristics and outcomes. Results: Comparing OHCA receiving ECPR (n=79) to those without (n=959), ECPR group were younger (median age 56 vs 78 p Conclusions: In current emergency practice for ANT OHCA, ECPR tended to apply to patients of younger age, men, witnessed arrest, BCPR, and initially shockable rhythms regardless of positive ROSC upon hospital arrival, that can independently lead to higher survival and good neurological outcome compared to non-ECPR.

between patients treated with ALS and BLS. Main outcome measures were functional status at 1 month after OHCA (good status defined as cerebral performance category 1 or 2, and poor as 3 or 4). Results: Of the eligible 158,991 patients, 148,230 (93.2%) were received ALS and 10,761 (6.8%) were received BLS. The propensityscore matching process selected 10,736 patients each from ALS and BLS group. Compared with BLS group, ALS group incurred a higher rate of return of spontaneous circulation before hospital arrival (8.6% vs. 6.2%) and poor functional status (3.4% vs. 2.5%), a similar survival rate (5.1% vs. 5.3%), and a lower rate of good functional status (1.7%vs. 2.8%). Inmultivariable logistic regression, ALS was associated with decreased odds of good functional status (odds ratio [OR] 0.56, 95% CI 0.42–0.74) and increased odds of poor functional status (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.03–1.50). Adrenaline administration was also associated with decreased odds of good functional status (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.25–0.67), meanwhile, no association was observedbetweenadvancedairway insertionand functional status. Conclusions: Among adult patients with OHCA in Japan, ALS was negatively associated with good functional status and increased the chance of poor functional survival compared with BLS.
