The first round consisted of open-ended questions around clinical guideline content, from which three researchers independently identified themes from expert responses. Survey rounds two and three sought to gain agreement on statements identified from the first round. Consensus was defined as &gt;70% expert agreement on the importance of inclusion of statements in the guideline.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Experts from six Melbourne metropolitan health services in Australia contributed to the development, then rated the importance, of 86 statements for inclusion in a clinical guideline. Statements addressed key clinical considerations, including: indications and contraindications; educational and training requirements; organisational procedures and guidelines; and the perceived benefits of the technique. Consensus was gained for 42 items and a draft guideline has been produced.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Consensus was gained on 42 statements for inclusion in a clinical guideline on the use of FRCs.
