Transport of the injured child
Semin Pediatr Surg.

Abstract
This article summarizes current recommendations regarding prehospital stabilization and transport of the injured child. Transportation alternatives are described, as well as indications for interhospital transport. A checklist for troubleshooting common problems is included, which anticipates events likely to cause morbidity en route. Proper communication is essential to a successful transport, as is a quality review of each completed transport. Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) grants have enabled many states to enhance pediatric prehospital education for providers.
