Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 8e AB - Regionalized intensive care for neonatology and pediatric care1 focuses expensive, high-technology, labor-intensive therapies to a few regional centers. This model is based on the reduction of morbidity and mortality for trauma patients at designated trauma centers.2,3 Because patients in need of specialized services often present to other hospitals, interfacility transport is an important complement to regionalized intensive care.4 Specialized pediatric transport services improve safety, decrease unplanned adverse events (especially airway events), and lower mortality.4,5,6 This chapter reviews the general and pediatric considerations for the interfacility transport of critically ill neonates and children.
