Intrahospital transport of seriously ill or injured children

J M Tompkins. Pediatr Nurs. 1990 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Critically ill children are frequently subject to transfer between hospitals or even between units in hospitals. Safety is an important concern for the ensuing transport in order to minimize risk and maximize efficiency. Nurses should give careful consideration to many aspects of the intrahospital transport when planning the move. Principles outlined in this article can be included in critical care educational programs.
