Risk Factors Associated With Intra- Hospital Transportation among Critically Ill Patient

Abstract

Transfer is an important but often neglected phase of continuing care of a patient who may also need additional care. Transfer should be initiated after carefully balancing the benefits obtained versus the risks involved. The patient transfer should be based on the concept of stabilization of patient at the transferring facility and continuing such care till the receiving facility. The transport personnel, an important factor in the safe transport, should be well qualified to achieve goals.(Ringdal et al., 2016) and (O’Leary et al., 2018).
