Abstract

The need for interhospital transfer of intensive care and high risk patients is increasing. These transfers are dangerous and challenging. Successful organisation and scheduling includes the appropriate selection of the transport vehicle and the preliminary consultation and cooperation of all participants according to predefined rules. This article describes definitions and fundamentals, specific characteristics of different transport vehicles, recommended consultation and typical pitfalls.
