The case notes were studied for all patients admitted to the intensive care unit, 163 cases in total, but information was incomplete in 14. Mortality over the period is compared, using Chi squared analysis with Yates correction, with mortality probability from Bull's chart relating age and body surface area of burn (1971). The trends show increasing admission rates and referral rates to ICU from other hospitals in the region, despite declining admission rates to the regional burn unit as a whole. The duration of stay for admitted patients also shows an increase, the combination of these factors suggesting an increasing workload. There has been no change in outcome over the period. The figures provide a baseline for comparison of outcome in critically ill burn patients and are an important means by which to measure future change.

We analyse prospectively the intrahospitalary transfer in 50 patients and study the hemodynamic, ventilatory and neurological variations before and after the transfer. 93.7% of our patients were transferred for diagnostical reasons, basically to the radiodiagnosis service (85.4% for TAC performance), only 6.25% were transferred for therapeutical reasons, all of them to the operating theatre. All the patients included in the study were subjected to: -mechanic ventilation, electrocardiographic monitoring (ECG), invasive arterial monitoring (TA), monitoring of arterial saturation of O2 using pulsioximetry, drugs infusion through volumetric bombs and intracraneal pressure monitoring through intra-ventricular catheter (in 18 cases). The intrahospitalary transfer was performed with: -Portable ventilator, ECG monitoring, TA, PIC and pulsioximetry. Before and after the transfer different parameters were registered: -Inspiratory fraction of O2 (FiO2), TA, cardiac frequency, PIC, arterial gasometry (pH, PAO2, PACO2). There were no complications in any of the cases, the gasometric alterations were due to the change of respiratory parameters for the transfer (increase of the FiO2 and prophylactic ventilation in all the cases). We recommend: -Use of the portable ventilator, volumetric bombs, hemodynamic monitoring and uninterrupted pulsioximetry and the presence of qualified staff (doctor and ICU nurse) during the transfer.

While it is being done, some complications which can worsen their initial situation may appear, so the benefits that this transport can provide must outweigh the possible risks. Preparing the patient and succeeding in performing a safe transport need the use of the proper equipment and human resources. Its degree of complexity and preparation must be proportional to the situation of instability of the patient and to the probability of increasing such instability, which implies performing a careful evaluation of the child and its real and potential needs previously. We also state some general ideas about the way of preparing and performing this kind of intrahospital transport in its different stages.

AB - METHODS: The records of 12,960 infants treated in nine perinatal intensive care centers in Florida were analyzed on the basis of survival (discharged alive from hospital) according to four independent variables: birth weight, race, sex, and transport status. Survival curves were generated using log linear regression techniques for each race by sex by transport status group. AB - RESULTS: Race, sex, and transport status correlated significantly with survival: survival percentages were higher among black infants, female infants, and infants transported to the perinatal intensive care centers than among white infants, male infants, and those admitted initially to the tertiary care centers. After 1985, 95% of neonates with birth weights between 1200 and 1500 g survived. In addition, survival of 500- to 500-g transported black male infants increased from zero to near 80% during the 13-year period; that of 500- to 550-g inborn white female infants rose from 35% to 70%. AB - CONCLUSIONS: These results illustrate the value of taking into account race, sex, and transport status in efforts to understand the contribution that neonatal intensive care of extremely low-birth-weight infants makes to the lowering of infant mortality, and of using multivariable statistical procedures to generate predicted survival probabilities for different subpopulations. These probabilities can be applied to (1) predicting survival for specific subgroups of extremely low-birth-weight infants, and (2) helping physicians develop clinical guidelines for extending care to infants at the threshold of viability.

Chronic alcoholics are at risk due to an increased morbidity and mortality. Reliable and precise diagnostic methods for detecting alcoholism are mandatory to prevent posttraumatic complications by adequate prophylaxis. The patient's history, however, is often not reliable, and conventional laboratory markers are not sensitive or specific enough. The aim of this study was to investigate whether carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is a sensitive and specific marker to detect alcoholism in traumatized patients. One hundred and five male traumatized patients or their relatives gave their written informed consent to participate in this institutionally approved study. All patients were transferred to the intensive care unit after admission to the emergency room, followed by surgical treatment. Diagnostics included an alcoholism-related questionnaire, conventional laboratory markers (mean corpuscular volume, gamma-glutamyltransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase), and CDT sampling (microanion-exchange chromatography, turbidimetry, and radioimmunoassay, respectively). Only patients in whom a reliable history could be obtained were included. Alcoholism was diagnosed if the patients met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria for chronic alcohol abuse or dependence. The administration of fluids before CDT sampling was carefully documented. Patients did not differ significantly regarding age, Trauma and Injury Severity Score, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score. The sensitivity of the CDT research kit was 70% and of the commercially available kit CDTect was 65%. Early sampling in the emergency room and before administration of large volumes of fluid increased the sensitivity to 83% for the CDT research kit and 74% for CDTect, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) RN - 0 (Biomarkers) RN - 0 (Reagent Kits, Diagnostic) RN - 0 (Transferrin) RN - 0 (carbohydrate-deficient transferrin) IS - 0022-5282 IL - 0022-5282 PT - Clinical Trial PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1995 Oct EZ - 1995/10/01 DA - 1995/10/01 00:01 DT - 1995/10/01 00:00 YR - 1995 ED - 19951207 RD - 20171116 UP - 20171128 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=7473968 <1007. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 7677275 TI - [Concept of secondary cerebral injury of systemic origin].

Head injury remains the leading cause of traumatic death, being responsible for 50-60% of fatalities. Head-injured patients not only suffer from the primary injury at the time of trauma, but also from the secondary, largely ischaemic, brain damage that occurs later. Some of these insults are of extracranial origin (or systemic), such as arterial hypotension, hypoxaemia, hypercarbia and anaemia. Their impact on mortality and morbidity is extremely high and requires greater efforts in improving the care of head-injured patients. Systemic insults occur either before the patient reaches hospital or during interfacility transfer or, in a surprisingly large number of cases, within hospital during emergency procedures, intrahospital transport or during their stay in intensive care units. Hypoxaemia, although quite easy to treat, is still common. This calls for better and earlier protection of the airway, more systematic administration of oxygen to trauma patients and wider use of pulse oximetry. Arterial hypotension has even more dramatic consequences in severe head injury. Recent studies indicate that short episodes of hypotension may induce severe brain ischaemia, that will be present even after complete systemic haemodynamic restoration. The treatment of hypotensive episodes should be immediate and aggressive. In some circumstances, restoration of an adequate cerebral perfusion pressure may not be obtained sufficiently rapidly with fluids alone and may require early use of vasopressors. Optimal haemodynamic resuscitation of the trauma patient with haemorrhagic hypotension and severe head injury remains a special challenge.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) RN - 0 (Saline Solution, Hypertonic) IS - 0750-7658 IL - 0750-7658 PT - English Abstract PT - Journal Article ID - S0750-7658(05)80159-5 [pii] PP - ppublish LG - French DP - 1995 EZ - 1995/01/01 DA - 1995/01/01 00:01 DT - 1995/01/01 00:00 YR - 1995 ED - 19951017 RD - 20180623 UP - 20180625 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medc&AN=7677275 <1008. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 7664562 TI - Intrahospital transport of critically ill pediatric patients.

AB - DESIGN: A two-phase study in which data were prospectively collected. In phase I, we examined the occurrence rate of adverse events, the requirement for therapeutic interventions, and the factors that predicted adverse events and the requirement of therapeutic interventions. In phase II, we tested the hypothesis that adverse events during transport were due to the transport process itself. AB - SETTING: A 250-bed university children's hospital with a 50-bed intensive care unit (ICU). AB - PATIENTS: Phase I of the study consisted of one hundred and eighty intrahospital transports in 139 patients. These transports included patients who were transferred: a) to the ICU from the operating room, emergency department, or the general ward; b) from the ICU to the operating room; and c) from the ICU for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Phase II of the study consisted of 89 transports in 85 patients. AB - INTERVENTIONS: None. AB - MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Vital signs and oxygen saturation were measured before and during transport. In phase I, there were no adverse events in 23.9% of transports. There was a significant change in at least one physiologic variable in 71.7% of transports, and at least one equipment-related mishap in 10% of transports. At least one major intervention was performed in 13.9% of transports in response to physiologic deterioration or an equipment-related mishap. There were no arrests or deaths during transport. The requirement for a major procedure was 34.4% in mechanically ventilated patients vs. 9.5% in nonventilated patients. Logistic regression analysis showed that both pretransport Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System and the duration of transport were significantly associated with the requirement of a major intervention and physiologic deterioration, while only the duration of transport was associated with an equipment-related event. The age of the patient and the number of escorts accompanying the transport did not affect the frequency of adverse events. Before transport in phase II study patients, no patient became hypothermic, the changes in physiologic variables were always < 20%, and there was no change > or = 5% in oxygen saturation. Hypothermia occurred in 11.2% of transports. A > or = 20% change in heart rate (15.7%), blood pressure (21.3%), and respiratory rate (23.6%) was seen only during transport. A > 5% change in oxygen saturation (5.6%) was seen only during transport. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Serious physiologic deterioration occurs during intrahospital transport of critically ill children. Severity of illness and the duration of transport are associated with the occurrence of adverse events during transport. The team composition and equipment required on transport must be commensurate with the pretransport severity of illness and the anticipated duration of transport.

The ED record was reviewed for documentation of factors that might be associated with prolonged ED LOS, such as use of computed tomographic (CT), radiology special procedures, and the number of plain radiographs and consultants. ED LOS was considered to be the time from triage until a decision was made to admit the patient. Using a Cox proportional hazards model, use of CT and special procedures were the strongest independent predictors of prolonged ED length-of-stay. The number of plain radiographs and consultants had only a minimal effect. Use of a protocol-driven trauma evaluation system was associated with a shorter ED LOS. In addition to external factors that affect ED overcrowding, ED patient management decisions may also be associated with prolonged ED length-of-stay. Such ED-based factors may be more important in surgical critical care patients, whose overall ED LOS is affected more by the length of the ED work-up rather than the time spent waiting for a ICU bed or operating suite.

It is defined as the movement of critically ill patients from facilities where the patients' needs exceed available resources to places that meet their needs, while maintaining a specialized level of care. And it is a specialty that is becoming increasingly common in today's managed care environment--an environment that emphasizes putting people in network hospitals. It is also becoming a viable career move for paramedics wishing to upgrade their skills and education.

AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 2-year retrospective study (1988 to 1990) was done of all tracheostomies performed (102) at bedside in the intensive care unit at Northwestern University Medical Center. Anesthetic, intensive care, and operative reports were evaluated for intraoperative and immediate (48 hours) postoperative anesthetic and surgical complications. AB - RESULTS: The investigation revealed an average anesthetic time of 41 minutes (range, 20-75 minutes), and an average operative time of 29 minutes (range, 15 to 60 minutes). A perioperative morbidity rate of 5.5% included three anesthetic and three surgical complications, without mortality. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that tracheostomy performed in the intensive care unit can be a safe, economical, and time-efficient procedure.

Four hundred and seventy-one such transports from seventeen clinical centers were studied to identify the characteristics of intrahospital transport. Data collected included the destination and duration of transport, number and type of personnel involved, changes in monitoring and treatment during transport, adverse patient responses and the impact on patients left in the unit. Differences between transports characterized as elective or emergent in nature were noted. Results validate that intrahospital transport of NICU patients is both time and labor intensive. The study also suggests that the optimal process for safe and efficient transport is yet to be designed.

The initial report should list the patient's intravenous lines, catheters, and surgical drains or tubes, as well as whether ventilation is needed; this allows the intensive care unit (ICU) staff to set up appropriate equipment. On the patient's arrival in the ICU, document the medical history, anesthetics given, surgery performed, and intraoperative events. Perform an organ system review with ongoing assessment at 15-minute intervals. Residual effects of anesthetic agents can include respiratory depression, hypotension, and bradycardia.

Efforts to reduce morbidity and improve survival have brought into question the use of corticosteroids and recommend the transfer of patients to a burn center to facilitate wound care. AB - STUDY DESIGN: This study evaluated the correlation of measures of disease severity and impact of treatment strategies on morbidity and mortality in patients with TEN. The records of all patients with TEN admitted to the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research during a 12 year period were reviewed. Patient characteristics, etiologic agents, time to referral of patients to the burn center, corticosteroid therapy, and other demographic features were studied. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the significance of these factors with respect to outcome. AB - RESULTS: The sulfonamides and phenytoin were the most frequently identified etiologic agents. Patients at the extremes of age had a higher mortality rate. The period of hospitalization was longer in patients transferred to the burn center more than seven days after skin slough. Percent of epidermalysis, white blood cell count nadir, and corticosteroid administration for more than 48 hours were independently associated with mortality. AB - CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that the sulfonamides and phenytoin are the most common etiologic agents, expeditious transfer to a burn center reduces morbidity, and corticosteroid administration dramatically increases mortality.

Using qualitative methods, we separately interviewed ten mothers and nine primary nurses about their relationships, their views on each other, and the mothers' infant care. The tape-recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim, themes were extracted, and categories were developed for coding the data. As issues emerged, they were further explored in follow-up interviews. We identified four stages in the process of transferring the care of the infant from nurse to mother. The mother-nurse relationships were influenced by both the nurses' and the mothers' typical interactional patterns. Nurses had definite ideas about who was an "ideal" mother. To the mothers, the nurses' competence and caring attitude toward their infants were most important. The process by which the nurse and mother interact to provide care for the infant and alter their roles during the course of the hospitalization is linked to various factors and aspects of the nurse-mother relationship.

The outcomes of 34 infants inborn at National Women's Hospital, Auckland but transported to other centres were compared with those of 68 matched controls inborn at the receiving centres and with 68 controls inborn and cared for at National Women's Hospital. Transport was associated with a transient (non-significant) deterioration in respiratory status but no increase in chronic lung disease. However, infants cared for elsewhere, whether transported or control, had more periventricular hemorrhage than Auckland babies (23% and 29% vs 15%, P = 0.03) and worse neurodevelopmental outcome (70% and 66% vs 88% of those whose outcomes were known were normal at follow up, P = 0.002). We conclude that differences in care between centres may be more important than the transport itself in determining the long-term outcome of transported neonates.

This article identifies common problems encountered by the PACU staff, and the author suggests criteria for establishing and implementing guidelines for successful integration of these short-term critically ill patients without losing sight of the PACU's goals and compromising patient care. The criteria for establishing guidelines were based on the personal experience of the author in developing a program for ICU overflow patients, as well as from experiences of other PACU nurses working in PACUs where successful guidelines currently are used.

The unit served as a croup triage point for Cardiff and its environs. A score of > 5 was taken as an indication that a patient was at risk of upper airway obstruction and was used to support a triage decision by the junior hospital doctor to admit a patient to the intensive therapy unit. All patients with an initial score < or = 5 were considered safe for transfer to a general paediatric ward and none of these required subsequent admission to intensive care. This score was then tested on a further 134 children with croup, in order to identify those patients who required specialised monitoring, observation or treatment in intensive care. A score of > 5 gave a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of 80%. Croup scoring continued after admission on the general paediatric wards. Two patients who were originally admitted to the intensive therapy unit with a score > 5 improved within 6 h and were transferred to the general ward with a score < or = 5. These children subsequently required readmission to the intensive therapy unit. Our tracheal intubation rate of 2% was low and may relate to the routine use of regular adrenaline nebulisation. We recommend this scoring system to other paediatric departments for initial triaging decisions and for documenting progress on the wards.

For some, interruption of oxygen therapy during transport could lead to serious complications. In our institution, non-ICU patient transport is done mainly by nonclinical personnel from an independent transport service. AB - MATERIALS & METHODS: We reviewed respiratory care department and transport service records for 5 arbitrarily selected days to determine the number of non-ICU patients receiving O2 therapy, the number of times these patients were transported, and the number of occasions on which O2 was used during the transport. We then interviewed the primary nurse for each patient transported without O2 and reviewed the charts of those patients to determine whether this practice was consistent with the therapy as it had been ordered. After our initial investigation showed a high rate of transport without prescribed O2, we sent memoranda to all nursing units describing proper procedures for transport of patients for whom O2 had been ordered. We then repeated the audit. Because the second audit showed the need, we conducted education sessions with all nursing personnel on the affected units and posted guidelines for O2 use during transport. A third audit was then conducted. In addition, we performed a telephone survey of respiratory care department managers to learn the patient-transport practices in all hospitals in our state with more than 200 beds, using a structured questionnaire. AB - RESULTS: During the initial 125 patient-days of O2 therapy, O2 accompanied patients on only 30 of 55 transports (55%). After distribution of memoranda, O2 use increased to 28 of 35 transports (80%) during 82 patient-days. The second educational effort resulted in O2 use with all 35 transports (100%) performed during 99 patient-days. Survey results from 24 hospitals with 225-680 beds showed that 11 (46%) had separate transport services and that decisions on O2 use during patient transport were generally made by nursing staff. Although respiratory care departments supplied the O2 equipment, their personnel were involved in non-ICU transports in only 5/24 hospitals. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Patients receiving O2 therapy on acute-care wards are often transported to other areas of the hospital without O2. This potentially dangerous practice can be corrected by respiratory care practitioners through educational efforts targeted toward those responsible for administering O2 therapy in non-ICU hospital areas.

AB - DESIGN: Retrospective, descriptive. AB - SETTING: Intensive care unit of the St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. AB - METHODS: All patients who required more than 30 consecutive days ICU treatment between January 1985 and January 1992 were included. With the aid of a computerised data base the medical records of all patients were analysed. If discharged, their family doctor was contacted for information about survival and quality of life. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were calculated. AB - RESULTS: Among a total of 18,126 ICU admissions, 223 patients required more than 30 days ICU treatment; 25% died in the ICU; 14% died after discharge from the ICU, but still in the hospital; 31% of the patients were discharged to another hospital or nursing home. Of all patients 50% eventually reached home. Two months after ICU discharge 75% were alive, after 1 year 50%. Mean survival time was 36 months (SD: 3). Patients under 60 years of age and those who were discharged directly home had the best prognosis. 30% of the protracted IC patients could ultimately function independently at home. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Patients who needed more than 30 days ICU treatment had a high ICU mortality; 2 months after discharge 75% were alive.

Main reasons for these outbreaks were obviously mistakes in hospital hygiene and an inappropriate antibiotic prophylaxis (in the first outbreak a quinolone over about 7 days, in the second a third generation cephalosporin). Both outbreaks could be stopped by measures of hospital hygiene including isolated or cohort nursing of affected patients, and change in antibiotic prophylaxis. Intensive care units (ICUs) are more often affected by MRSA than other clinical settings. As described by the example of an outbreak with MRSA in a municipal hospital, ICUs can play a special role in intrahospital spread of MRSA. The recently observed inter-regional clonal interhospital dissemination of MRSA in Germany is mainly due to a transfer of patients between hospitals; prewarning of the hospital of destination and a number of hygiene measures can prevent further spread.

To evaluate a system for reducing in-hospital delays to thrombolysis pain to needle and door to needle times to thrombolysis were audited in a major accident and emergency (A and E) department of a district general hospital and its coronary care unit (CCU), situated about 5 km away. Baseline performance over six months was assessed retrospectively from notes of 43 consecutive patients (group 1) transferred to the CCU before receiving thrombolysis. Subsequently, selected patients (23) were allowed to receive thrombolysis in the A and E department before transfer to the CCU. The agent was administered by medical staff in the department after receiving oral confirmation of myocardial infarction from the admitting medical officer in the CCU on receipt of fax transmission of the electrocardiogram. A second prospective audit during six months from the start of the new procedure established time intervals in 23 patients eligible to receive thrombolysis in the A and E department (group 2b) and 30 ineligible patients who received thrombolysis in the CCU (group 2a). The groups did not differ significantly in case mix, pre-hospital delay, or transfer time to the CCU. In group 2b door to needle time and pain to needle time were reduced significantly (geometric mean 38 min v 121 min (group 2a) and 128 min (group 1); 141 min v 237 min (group 2a) and 242 min (group 1) respectively, both p < 0.0001). The incidence of adverse effects was not significantly different. Nine deaths occurred (six in group 1, three in group 2b), an in-hospital mortality of 9.9%. Thrombolysis can be safely instituted in the A and E department in selected patients, significantly reducing delay to treatment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate other factors affecting referral including obstetric procedures, and equipment and personnel environment. A prospective survey of the neonatal population in 9 maternity hospital in the Loire-Atlantique area in France was conducted. There were, 1.316 births and the referral rate was 10.3% with a range of 1 to 24% depending on the originating hospital. After adjustment for gestational age, multivariate analysis revealed that the medical variables were the main factors affecting referral rate (positive gastric smear, adjusted odds ratio, ORa = 62.6; disease, ORa = 37.7; Apgar score 1 min < 7, ORa = 9.4; monitoring abnormality, ORa = 3.2; coloured amniotic fluid, CORa = 2.7; birthweight, ORa = 0.3). A high risk of referral was observed in only one maternity hospital (ORa = 9.4) related to a poor environment index. This center was in close vicinity to another maternity hospital. In a regional referral programme, high risk neonates should be delivered in maternity hospitals near a special care centre. But, in order to keep the rate of referral, with its adverse effect on the mother-baby relation, low, care for neonates with minor disease or only slightly underweight at birth should be cared for in these centers without referral.

AB - DATA SOURCES: Pertinent literature in the English language. AB - STUDY SELECTION: One hundred forty-six English language papers were studied to determine possible ramifications of regionalization of critical care or other similar services. AB - DATA EXTRACTION: Information on possible influence on the care of the critically ill was sought and integrated with the opinions of task force members. Possible costs, benefits, as well as disadvantages to the patient, transferring and receiving institutions, and region as a whole were sought. AB - DATA SYNTHESIS: Regionalization of critical care services was thought to be advantageous to the patient. The larger academic institutions tend to have more resources, better subspecialty availability, and expertise in the care of the critically ill. Efficiency and safety during transport need to be in place. Disadvantages of overutilization, possible costliness to both the referring institution as well as to the receiving institution were outlined. It was agreed that pediatric critical care medicine was a separate issue. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Regionalization of critical care medicine probably is beneficial and the concept should be explored.

Groups were compared on ISS, Revised Trauma Score (RTS), ICU stay, length of stay (LOS), total charges, reimbursement, payors, and outcome. Comparison of all transferred patients and directly admitted patients showed significant differences in ISS, LOS, ICU stay, and total charges. Despite a higher ISS, transferred patients had no differences in RTS or survival outcome. Comparison of matched transferred patients and directly admitted patients on ISS and age if > or = 50 years old showed a statistically significant increase in LOS, reimbursement, and charges. The survival rate of all transferred and directly admitted trauma patients was approximately 95% for both groups despite a slightly higher degree of injury in transferred patients. The reimbursement rate for both groups was low, 65% for transferred patients and 59% for directly admitted patients. The percentage of transfer patients on Medicaid was 34% and for direct admissions was 37% (p = 0.552). This is a large percentage of indigent care, since only 8.1% of Washington State residents are Medicaid dependent.

During the 11-year period 1982-92, 186 transports were undertaken from the neonatal unit, Vestfold Central Hospital, for a total of 180 patients, or 0.8% of all live born infants (n = 23,652). 64 patients (36%) were referred for prematurity/respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS), 81 (45%) for congenital malformations, and 35 (19%) for other conditions. Transports for prematurity/IRDS declined significantly from the the first 6-year period 1982-87 to the last 5-year period 1988-92 (3.6 vs. 1.8 per 1,000 live born infants; p < 0.01), owing to the establishment of a local respirator treatment programme for severe IRDS. In 71 (38%) transports the infants were mechanically ventilated. Seven (10%) suffered in-transport complications related to the endotracheal tube. At arrival, significantly more patients were anaemic (Hb < 14 g%; transports before 48 hours after birth), alcalotic (pH > 7.50), hypocapnic (PCO2 < 4 kPa) or had a base excess < -10 mmol/l than before transportation (p < 0.05). There was a tendency towards more patients with hypothermia (tp < 36 degrees C), acidosis (pH (< 7.20) and hypercapnia (PCO2 > 10 kPa) at arrival than before transportation (p > 0.05). No deaths occurred during transport. However, two infants died within two hours after arrival, giving a transport-related mortality rate of 1%. Transporting critically ill neonates implies discontinuity of treatment and monitoring of these infants. Optimal stabilization before transportation, and scrupulous work on technical details are of utmost importance.

Morbidity, measured by rate of transfer back to the acute-care hospital, was lower than in a comparison group of 15 infants treated for severe BPD during the previous two years. Average length of stay was significantly shortened and an average of $60,000 per patient was saved. Using a rehabilitation hospital as a step-down unit shifts the emphasis from acute needs to chronic and developmental needs and from intensive monitoring and nursing care to care given at home by parents with nursing assistance.

The transport of critically ill infants to regional neonatal intensive care units has played an important role in improving neonatal outcome. This article presents a profile of Southern California's 10-year infant transport experience (1979 through 1988) in terms of the following indicators: transport volume, cross-county referrals, distance travelled, referral pattern, and birth weight pattern. Findings point to the necessity of focusing attention on several critical issues confronting Southern California's neonatal services in the 1990s. They include adequacy of tertiary or intermediate bed capacity in neonatal intensive care units; appropriateness of existing infant referral practices; impact of maternal-fetal transports; availability of financing resources; and overall differences in morbidity and mortality rates between transported and nontransported infants in subpopulations.

Eligible infants who were not back transported to a level I or II community hospital were transferred to a level II nursery within the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) for convalescent care. Study infants were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at MUSC from July 1985 through June 1989. They were admitted after maternal transport to MUSC for imminent delivery (N = 159), out-born community delivery (N = 55), or in-born MUSC delivery (N = 240). The mean +/- SD birth weight and gestational age and the NICU admission diagnoses for the back-transported and non-back-transported neonates were similar. The mean +/- SD weight of neonates at the time they were back transported was significantly greater than the weight of neonates at the time of intrahospital transfer. In contrast, the discharge weight to home and total days hospitalized were significantly less in the back-transported infants. Five back-transported neonates (3%) and 12 non-back-transported neonates (4%) were readmitted to the NICU. The back-transported infants used more than 3,800 bed days at community hospitals that would otherwise have been spent in the regional center, thus facilitating increased parental and primary physician involvement in their care.

The eighteen paediatric departments in the country with neonatal intensive care units all answered the questionnaire. The routines concerning transferral to a higher level of specialization, and the treatment procedures for children with a birthweight below 1500 grams and/or a gestational age under 32 weeks are described. Major regional variations were found in the degree of centralization of treatment, especially between the eastern and western part of Denmark. In an international perspective to neonatal intensive care Denmark seems to be modest with respect to initiation of treatment and the use of technology.

The eighteen paediatric departments in the country with neonatal intensive care units all answered the questionnaire. The neonatal capacity and its distribution in different parts of Denmark, the level of medical qualifications, the routines for transferral to departments with higher specialization and for certain treatment procedures are described. Several variations in diagnostic and therapeutic routines were found between departments with the same level of specialization. The results are compared to the findings of a similar investigation in 1984. It was found that the neonatal bed-capacity has been reduced since 1984. It was also found that this capacity is relatively smaller in the eastern part of Denmark than in the western part, and that neonatal intensive care is centralized in the eastern part and decentralized in the western part of Denmark. Compared to 1984 better access to radiological and biochemical service has been achieved, and neonatal care is to a greater degree performed by a specialist in paediatrics.

Crowding could be alleviated by back transferring chronically ill or convalescing infants to intermediate-level community hospitals where community-based care can be delivered. The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of such hospitals in North Carolina to care for these children. A telephone survey was administered to all 35 intermediate-level community hospitals that had > or = 600 births per year. Hospital resources were assessed on the first call, and a 1-day census was taken for three successive months. Total daily nursery census was 288. Back-transferred infants (32) and infants whose stay exceeded 5 days (32) constituted 24% of the nursery population. Each hospital had a pediatric medical director and necessary equipment to care for back transfers, and 80% of the hospitals could accept a back-transferred infant who was in a neonatal incubator, tube fed, receiving oxygen, 1400 gm, with mild and infrequent apnea and bradycardia--a common clinical picture in such infants. The most severe limitation to accepting infants for back transfer was the shortage of nursing staff appropriately trained to care for this population. These data have implications for effective discharge planning and the development of appropriate community-based, service-delivery systems.

The general characteristics of patients in need of intensive care are discussed. Irreversibility of the underlying condition, the quality of "terminal patient" and other factors that may contraindicate admission to an intensive care unit are analyzed. Discharge criteria for patients not expected to derive further benefit from a prolonged stay in the unit are outlined.

Transport appeared to affect respiratory status adversely but transiently. However, transported infants grew less well than control infants (32% were below 3rd centile for weight at 36 weeks vs 15% of controls), were more likely to suffer periventricular haemorrhage (40 vs 21% of controls) and had a worse neurodevelopmental outcome (70% normal at follow up vs 83% of controls). It can be concluded that for infants inborn at the National Women's Hospital, Auckland, transport to another level III centre for intensive care is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcome.

With the advances of transport medicine, great distances can be spanned to bring critical care to the patient and provide effective treatment and safe transport systems where specialized care was previously unavailable. A patchwork of diverse transport systems perform pediatric transports with significant differences in the level of pediatric critical care. The optimal transport system has yet to be fully defined, but many successful systems share fundamental elements of organization.

All these neonates had clinical and haematological evidences of sepsis. Prominent clinical features included sclerema, violaceus necrotic patches, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia, and DIC. Over all mortality was 23 per cent, distinctly higher in premature neonates with RDS. The mean gestational age and birth weights (+/- SD) of these neonates were 36.42 (+/- 2.73) weeks and 2173.34 (+/- 567.33) g, respectively. Approximately half of the total cases had low birth weight. Other adverse perinatal events before the development of sepsis included birth asphyxia (60 per cent), neonatal resuscitation (67 per cent), meconium aspiration syndrome (29 per cent), hyaline membrane disease (8 per cent), prolonged hospitalization (44 per cent), closed incubator care (17 per cent), prolonged intravenous fluids (42 per cent), repeated blood sampling (63 per cent), and umbilical catheterization (4 per cent). Analysis of the trend of Pseudomonas sepsis in our NICU revealed six definite outbreaks (more than two cases) interspersed with occasional (one or two) cases. Six study months, however, remained free of Pseudomonas sepsis. Index case was demonstrable on seven occasions. Bacteriological surveillance of the NICU after onset of initial case/cases revealed statistically significant colonization of resuscitation equipment, baby placement sites, and various cleansing solutions by the same bacterial species (P < 0.05). It is possible that Pseudomonas was introduced to our NICU from transfer admissions from other hospitals since on four occasions index case was the one transferred from outside.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) IS - 0142-6338 IL - 0142-6338 DO - https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/tropej/39.1.32 PT - Journal Article ID - 10.1093/tropej/39.1.32 [doi] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1993 02 EZ - 1993/02/01 DA - 2000/05/12 09:00 DT - 1993/02/01 00:00 YR - 1993 ED - 19930407 RD - 20180529 UP - 20180530 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medc&AN=8445685 <1056. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 8445201 TI - Delivering critical care: a challenge.

Instead, it must span the continuum from the scene of injury or illness to the patient's eventual arrival at the intensive care unit. University Hospital in Ghent, Belgium, has developed a comprehensive system that involves prehospital and in-hospital critical care, as well as a rapid and efficient interhospital and intrahospital transportation system. The prehospital system consists of a mobile intensive care ambulance, rapid-response systems known as flying squads, and a rendezvous system coordinating the ambulances and the rapid-response systems. The flying squad is staffed by a physician and the ambulance by a physician or a medical student in the last year of study. Both are also manned by an emergency department nurse and a professional driver who is also an emergency medical technician. The emergency department and its staff are available 24 hours a day to ensure uninterrupted delivery of critical care, including when patients are transported between various hospital departments. In addition, critical care specialists with at least 2 years' intensive care experience are available 24 hours a day. They also serve as coordinators for disaster planning for the hospital and the city of Ghent and its province.

The motivation for these transports lies in obtaining diagnostic or therapeutic services not available at the bedside (intrahospital transport) or not available in the sending institution (interhospital transport). Deterioration in respiratory, cardiovascular, and other physiological systems is a potential complication of any patient transport. Using appropriate equipment and personnel and planning for each transport can minimize these complications and ensure optimal benefit to the patient.

A convenience sample of fourteen parents were interviewed five to seven days after the back transport. Following data collection, the analysis of the parents' perceptions regarding the back transport of their premature infant identified a crisis theme that was influenced by several concepts. The subject's positive or negative meaning of the back transport during the pre-crisis phase defined the extent of the crisis during a three day transition period which led to an acceptance of events in the resolution phase. The subjects' perceptions of the previous events of hospitalization and communication of information regarding back transport influenced the meaning of the back transport for them. The extent of crisis during the transition phase was influenced by subjects' perceptions of medical complications, caretaking practice changes, environmental changes, feelings of powerlessness or empowerment, personal coping resources, and support systems available. Resolution in all cases occurred with an acceptance of events. Implications for practice and future research can be identified such as developing and testing education programs to prepare parents for the transition and strengthening the relationship between tertiary and community hospitals.

AB - DESIGN AND SETTING: Survey instruments were mailed to the administrators of 4,233 hospitals to gather information from the medical director of the institutions' respective ICUs for the purpose of developing a database on ICUs in the United States. The sampling frame for this study was based on all American Hospital Association (AHA) hospitals stating they had ICUs. AB - MEASUREMENTS: Census questionnaires solicited information on occupancy, where the patients were admitted from, length of stay, therapies rendered, intensive care diagnoses, and resuscitation status, as well as other information. AB - MAIN RESULTS: Data were obtained regarding 32,850 ICU beds, with 25,871 patients from 2,876 separate ICUs in 1,706 hospitals in the United States. The census response rate was 40% of the AHA hospitals that stated they had ICUs, with specific ICU data on 38.7% of the nation's ICUs. Overall, the responding units reported a mean occupancy rate of 84% of total bed capacity and 87% of available beds. As hospital size increased, so did ICU occupancy. Nearly 17% of all of the critical care patients had been in the units for > 14 days. More precisely, 49% of all responding units indicated that they had one or more "chronic" (> 14-day length of stay) patients. Most patients were admitted to the units from the emergency room (38%), operating room/postanesthesia care unit (22%), and the general hospital floor (16%). Neonatal units were exceptions to this observation, where most patients came from the delivery room (60%). Admission from other hospitals represented a significantly larger group of patients in the cardiac care, pediatric, and neonatal units. Respondents indicated that many of their current patients were elderly, with 43% of these patients aged 65 to 84 yrs and with 4% being > or = 85 yrs of age. The 47% of patients > or = 65 yrs of age increased to 58% when the neonatal and pediatric units were eliminated from the analyses. For all units responding to the survey, the leading primary admitting intensive care diagnoses were postoperative management, ischemic heart disorder, respiratory insufficiency/failure, and prematurity. Elimination of units predominantly treating children (pediatric and neonatal) from the analysis left "adult" units with three primary admitting diagnoses: ischemic heart disease, postoperative management, and respiratory insufficiency/failure with variation according to specific unit type. The leading diagnoses in pediatric units were respiratory insufficiency/failure, postoperative management, and congenital abnormalities. For neonatal units, prematurity was the primary admitting diagnosis, accounting for 59% of these units' patients. Respondents reported 5.3 +/- 10.9% of patients had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before admission into the critical care unit. Only 6.0 +/- 11.9% of patients in these critical care units had instructions that CPR not be performed while in the unit. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This report should be viewed as the beginning step of an effort to improve both the information base available on critical care medicine and the performance of ICUs. Our survey findings provide an introduction into the everyday workings of critical care units throughout the United States. Research is required to determine which patients will benefit from intensive care and how to efficiently utilize the vast technology we have available for them in a world with limited financial resources, an aging population, and a multiplicity of societal and ethical concerns.

AB - DESIGN AND SETTING: The early care and outcome for infants of birthweight 500 to 999 g born in a non-level-III centre in Victoria were compared between two distinct eras, 1979-1980 and 1985-1987. PATIENTS AND OUTCOMES: Mortality data to two years of age were available for all infants liveborn in non-level-III centres in the two eras (1979-1980, n = 106; 1985-1987, n = 129). In 1979-1980, 47 of 52 infants transferred to a level-III centre were transported by the Newborn Emergency Transport Service (NETS); in 1985-1987, all 49 infants transferred were transported by NETS. Data concerning the immediate care after birth and during transport to a level-III centre were available for all infants transferred by NETS. All survivors were assessed for sensorineural impairments and disabilities at two years of age, corrected for prematurity. AB - RESULTS: In both eras, 18 children born outside and transferred to a level-III centre survived to two years of age. Survivors in both eras had almost identical mean birthweights and gestational ages. There were trends for more survivors to be referred by paediatricians--1979-1980, 61%; 1985-1987, 83%; odds ratio (OR), 2.94; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.7-12.4--and for quicker referral times to NETS in 1985-1987 (1979-1980, median 34.5 minutes after birth; 1985-1987, median 21.5 minutes after birth; z = 1.91, P = 0.056). It was possible only during 1985-1987 to monitor transcutaneous PO2 during transport. Durations of transport were similar in both eras. However, only in 1985-1987 was it possible in survivors to reduce significantly the inspired oxygen concentration during transport (median reductions in inspired oxygen, 1979-1980 3.5%; 1985-1987 20%; P = 0.028). Neurological impairment rates were substantially lower in survivors transported in the latter era (1979-1980 72% impaired; 1985-1987 22% impaired; OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.04-0.52). Of the neurological impairments, fewer had severe developmental delay alone (1979-1980 22%; 1985-1987 0%; OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.018-0.46), and the rate of blindness was lower, but the latter difference was not quite statistically significant (1979-1980 28%; 1985-1987 6%; OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.037-1.19). Over all, neurological disabilities were significantly reduced in the latter era (z = 2.93, P < 0.005). AB - CONCLUSIONS: More active management of extremely low birthweight infants before transfer to a level-III centre, including prompt referral and transcutaneous PO2 monitoring during transport, may be important in improving the sensorineural outcome of survivors.

Optimization of the blood for oxygen transport in preterm infants in intensive care yields major benefits in their prognosis. A rational basis is described for this optimization in terms of the circulating blood volume and haematocrit, represented by circulating red cell volume (mass). Extrapolation of these lessons in haematological management is proposed for adult patients in critical care, so as to reduce dependence on respiratory support and minimize clinical complications and costs.

To evaluate the ability of subjective judgment, the Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) score, and the presence of tachycardia for age to predict the need for a physician on as a member of the pediatric transport team. AB - DESIGN: Prospective data collection. AB - SETTING: The pediatric transport program of a children's hospital. AB - PATIENTS: All 129 infants and children transported over a 4-month period. AB - MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We defined an objective measure of the need for a physician's presence during the transport of a pediatric patient, based on either the necessity for procedural or medical interventions during the time of transport or on direct admission to the pediatric ICU after transport. At the time of initial telephone contact, a physician's subjective opinion of the need for physician presence was recorded, a PRISM score was derived, and the presence of tachycardia (adjusted for age) was determined. Subsequently, the vital signs recorded on the record of this request were compared with those vital signs charted at the referring hospital at the time of the initial telephone request. A total of 96% of vital signs obtained during the initial telephone contact were consistent with those percentages in the referring hospital medical records. Fifty (39%) of 129 transported patients required procedural or medical interventions or pediatric ICU admission. Subjective judgments predicted physician need with a high sensitivity (0.98), but with a low specificity (0.18). PRISM score predicted 62 (48%) of 129 transports to be "physician-required" (sensitivity = 0.72; specificity = 0.67). There was no statistical association between tachycardia for age and the objective need for a physician's presence. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Objective information obtained during request for transfer was reliable. At the time of request for transfer, subjective judgment, PRISM score, and the presence of tachycardia did not predict the need for a physician presence during transport.

The proportion of babies transferred in-utero has increased and most of these transfers appear to have been justified. Forty-seven per cent of babies transferred neonatally were mature infants (greater than 37 weeks) so that the need for intensive neonatal care would have been difficult to predict. Perinatal mortality has fallen in line with national rates, mainly due to the decline in mortality of premature babies transferred neonatally. The results do not sustain the argument for further increasing in-utero transfers.

To do so effectively, however, requires adequate financial and human resources; management of equipment, supplies and personnel; ongoing education for transport team members; and an aggressive quality assurance program. Team members and team management should always be prepared for worst-case scenarios, and develop a method for problem resolution as troublesome issues arise. The ultimate goal of serving the needs of the critically ill child can be consistently met only if there is a high level of commitment of all involved--from the hospital administrator and medical director to the transport coordinator and team members.

AB - DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. AB - SETTING: A 600-bed university hospital with a 16-bed neonatal ICU and a 12-bed pediatric ICU. AB - PATIENTS: All intubated pediatric patients (422 of 614 patients transported during the study period) transported by the dedicated neonatal/pediatric transport team from April 1988 to April 1990. AB - MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The transport records of intubated pediatric patients were abstracted. Recorded data included age, weight, gestational age, vital signs, diagnosis, interventions received, and use of paralytic agents and sedatives/analgesics. Patients were analyzed in three groups: group 1 (n = 295) included neonates; group 2 (n = 66) included patients greater than 1 month and less than 1 yr of age; and group 3 patients (n = 61) were ages greater than 1 yr. Group 1 had nine (3.1%) complications or patient deteriorations; four (1.4%) were related to the endotracheal tube. Group 2 had one (1.5%) airway complication and one deterioration. Group 3 had no complications or deteriorations. All but one of the airway complications were effectively handled by the transport team. At the referring hospital, the transport nurse or respiratory therapist intubated 62 (19.8%) patients in group 1, five (7.5%) in group 2, and three (4.9%) patients in group 3. Sixty-seven (23%), 21 (32%), and 30 (49%) patients of groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively, were paralyzed for transport. No complications were secondary to the use of paralytic agents or sedatives. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Under proper medical guidance, well-trained nonphysician personnel can provide low-risk transport of intubated pediatric patients.

This distance can add to the stress of the parents and reduce the contact of the parents with their newborn. Small studies have found that back transporting these neonates to hospitals closer to their homes is safe and cost-effective. Despite these findings, the reluctance of many insurers to pay for back transports prevents or delays many back transports. Insurers may not consider the findings of the previous studies to be conclusive, given that the comparisons were between small numbers of neonates back transported and neonates who remained in tertiary care, and the potential for differences in severity of illness between the groups is significant. In this study the effect on hospital charges of back transports was examined by comparing the charges for care in community hospitals with what these charges would have been in a tertiary care center. The advantage of this method is that it avoids case-mix differences between the groups and thus minimizes the potential for small-sample bias. Data were collected for all back transports from a NICU to non-tertiary care centers (n = 90) for a 9-month period. We were able to obtain the itemized bills for the care at community hospitals for 42 of these patients. Each bill was recalculated using the charges for the NICU to determine potential for savings. The average charges for recovery care were about $6200 lower at the community hospital than they would have been at the NICU.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) IS - 0031-4005 IL - 0031-4005 PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.

Models were developed for three outcome variables: 1) Major procedures were required in 8.9% of cases. The predicted probability of needing a major procedure was increased for intubated patients (probability of 12.9%), patients less than 1 year of age with unstable vital signs (12.9%), and patients meeting both these criteria (23.2%). 2) A posttransport assessment of need for a physician on the team was positive in 43% of cases. The probability of needing a physician was increased for intubated patients (probability of 68.8%), patients less than 1 year of age with unstable vital signs (58.7%), and patients meeting both these criteria (79.9%). 3) Category 1 drugs, ie, medications requiring ICU monitoring, were used in 19% of transports. The probability of this occurring was increased for intubated patients with stable vital signs (probability of 24.7%) and for intubated patients with unstable vital signs (41.4%). None of the other pretransport variables, alone or in pairs, was a significant predictor of any of the three outcome variables. The data indicate that intubation, age, and vital sign status can be used in predicting whether a transport team is needed.

We surveyed all identifiable NICUs in the state of Texas to study deficiencies in the current system. Despite the existence of many neonatal transport teams, little or nothing has been done to coordinate similar efforts at different programs or to organize programs into sharing the responsibility of transport among the less served areas of Texas. The lack of adequate reimbursement may be a limiting factor in the organization and regionalization of neonatal transport. We urge further efforts toward coordination and regionalization of transport with an examination of reimbursement policies to allow teams to share equally the responsibility of neonatal transport in Texas.

Several studies have shown that both mortality and long term morbidity (i.e. brain damage, retinopathy and chronic lung disease) of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (less than 1500 g) are by approximately 50% lower in inborns compared with outborns. The results of the Bavarian Neonatal Study and of the perinatal centers in Baden-Wurttemberg indicate that every year approximately 2000 VLBW infants die and 4000 survive with severe handicaps in the western states of the Federal Republic of Germany because they are not born in a perinatal center.

AB - DESCRIPTION: The cart carries a conventional ventilator, jet ventilator (JV), incubator, gas blender, 3 E cylinders of oxygen and 2 of air, uninterruptible electric power supply (UPS), 2 syringe infusion pumps, cardiac monitor, and oximeter. AB - EVALUATION METHODS: To determine the available operating time of the ventilators, we ran tests with 60% and 100% oxygen, high and low ventilator settings, 2.5-mm and 3.5-mm endotracheal tubes, and lung simulator set for low and high time constants. With five different combinations of these variables, the system was run to exhaustion of its gas supply. To determine the operating time limit of the UPS, we used it to operate the JV until the low-battery alarm sounded. AB - RESULTS: The UPS always provided electrical power for at least 2 hours. In no case did a single cylinder of oxygen fail to power the system for less than 20 min. Because the cart carries 3 cylinders of oxygen and 2 of air, under the conditions tested a minimum of 60 min of continuous operation, using 100% oxygen, should be available during those portions of transports when the system is away from hospital and ambulance bulk power sources and is dependent on its own UPS and E cylinders of gas. AB - EXPERIENCE: We have used the cart on two occasions to transport a 30-week gestational age, 1-kg, HFJV-dependent infant, first from ICU to surgery, then to another hospital for cardiac catheterization. Total transport time was 3 hours; there were no problems. The cart has also been used to transport three patients between hospitals during ECMO, without HFJV. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Our HFJV transport system is adequate to transport an HFJV-dependent infant during the 30 to 60 minutes that may elapse when the cart is away from ambulance or hospital sources of electricity and gas. Available operating time with an HFJV transport system should be estimated conservatively; when an infant is dependent on HFJV, it would be well to have aircraft backup in case of ambulance breakdown or other contingencies.

Data from 1982 to 1984 inclusive, a period before trials of thrombolytic therapy started in Nottingham, were analysed to provide background information for the introduction of a policy of routine thrombolysis for appropriate patients. AB - DESIGN: Data were collected prospectively on all patients transported to hospital in the Nottingham Health District with suspected myocardial infarction in the years 1982-84 and on patients treated at home during that time. AB - SETTING: Two district general hospitals responsible for all emergency admissions in the health district. AB - PATIENTS: 6712 patients admitted to hospital with suspected myocardial infarction and 1887 patients found dead on arrival at hospital. Approximately 1500 patients in whom a myocardial infarction was suspected were treated at home, but only 125 were identified who had a definite or probable infarction. AB - RESULTS: Among the patients admitted within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, the median delay from onset to hospital admission was 174 minutes; 25% of patients were admitted within 91 minutes. The only factor that seemed to affect the time taken was the patient's decision to call a general practitioner or an emergency ambulance. If a general practitioner referred the patient to hospital the median delay was 247 minutes, compared with 100 minutes when the patient summoned an ambulance. Ninety three per cent of all patients were transported by ambulance. The median time from the call for the ambulance to hospital arrival was 29 minutes. Once a patient was admitted to hospital, the time to admission and general practitioner involvement seemed relatively unimportant as predictors of outcome. Patients admitted more than nine hours after onset of symptoms with a diagnosis of definite or probable infarction had a poorer outcome than those admitted earlier (in-hospital mortality 22.4% v 13.1%). The fatality rates of those admitted to a coronary care unit or to an ordinary medical ward are similar. AB - CONCLUSION: Although the introduction of thrombolytic therapy has brought with it an increased awareness of the need to minimise any delay in time to admission, it seems that in a predominantly urban area like Nottingham, patients with a suspected heart attack will continue to be admitted to hospital most quickly if an ambulance crew rather than a general practitioner is called. Because the ambulance crew was in contact with such patients for only a short time it seems unlikely that administration of a thrombolytic drug in the ambulance would be helpful.

The entry criteria (initial survival and severe injury: ISS greater than or equal to 18) were fulfilled by 233 patients with a mean ISS of 29.3 and mean age of 35.6 years. Data on prehospital care, type and timing of surgery, and hospital and ICU stay were recorded during hospital discharge. The protocol strictly asked for a personal interview and a physical examination. Mailed questionnaires or phone interviews were not allowed. The areas of medical sequelae, aftercare, missed injuries, occupation, insurance, social integration, economics, legal aspects, and traffic involvement were covered. We were able to gather final information from 223 (95.6%) of the 233 cases. Forty-three patients (18.4%) died in the hospital, 13 patients (5.6%) died later, and 167 (76.5%) were eventually seen. Only 10 patients (4.4%) were lost to follow-up. Outcome was judged using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), which was compared with a GOS value given prospectively at the time of hospital discharge. Eighty-nine percent of the survivors were healthy or slightly disabled (GOS 5 and 4), 9% were severely disabled, and only 2% were in a persistent vegetative state. Outcome after 5 years was better than tentatively prognosed at the time of hospital discharge. Ninety-one patients with severe head injuries (AIS 4-5) were additionally tested using the Mini Mental State instrument. This test revealed normal mental functions in 77% and dementia, mostly of a minor degree, in 23% of the head-injured patients. Almost all the early deaths and two thirds of the late deaths were related to severe head injury. Seventy-nine percent of the survivors were working after 5 years. During the post-trauma period, patients experienced reduced social well-being and also changed professional and recreational activities. There appears to be extensive room for improvement in the posthospital recovery phase. We conclude that survivors of critical trauma have a very good chance, after 5 years, of regaining a high quality of life. All efforts at improving trauma survival and quality of trauma care are therefore worthwhile and deserve high priority.

The purpose of this study was to identify the medications used during transport and to determine age-related differences. Results of a prospective study of all drugs administered by the transport team to 174 patients during their stabilization and transport from November 1, 1987 through October 31, 1988 are presented. One hundred and twenty-one (69.5%) patients received at least one medication. The most frequently administered medications were antibiotics (38.5% of patients), followed by morphine (27.0%), anticonvulsants (23.6%), neuromuscular blockers (14.4%), respiratory drugs (11.5%), inotropes (10.9%), and sedatives (7.5%). Miscellaneous medications were administered to 48.8% of patients. The use of different classes of drugs varied with age; anticonvulsants were most frequently administered to children, sedatives and respiratory medications to infants, and antibiotics and miscellaneous medications to newborns. The wide range of medications used may reflect the diversity of diseases causing critical illness which reinforces that transport teams must have access to and knowledge of a variety of medications. The formulary of medications taken by the critical care transport team is included.

Its effectiveness depends on the willingness of hospitals to transfer high-risk patients according to established protocols and affiliations. This study examines maternal transfers (n = 896) to Cook County Hospital (CCH), a public facility and a designated perinatal center in Chicago. In 1987 and 1988, the majority (68%) of maternal transfers to CCH came from out-of-network hospitals, and 52% of these came directly from another perinatal center. The data indicate that 62% of the out-of-network transfers who delivered were medically high-risk. The study also documents the transfer of women in active labor, a violation of federal law. The term "perinatal dumping" is introduced to mean the transfer of high-risk pregnant women between hospitals for economic rather than medical reasons. Strategies for safeguarding the integrity of regionalized perinatal care are discussed.

AB - DESIGN: The research design consisted of a mailed questionnaire disseminated in the fall of 1988 to the member institutions of the National Association of Public Hospitals (NAPH) and the Council of Teaching Hospitals (COTH). AB - TYPE OF PARTICIPANTS: Study participants included hospital administrators and ED directors from 239 of the non-Veterans Administration, general acute care, US members of COTH and NAPH. AB - MEASUREMENTS: Key measures of hospital and ED crowding including mean ED holding times for floor and ICU beds. AB - MAIN RESULTS: Three fourths of responding hospitals reported increases in ED visits over the preceding three years. Mean ED holding times for admitted patients were 3.5 hours (median, 2.0 hours) for a floor bed and 2.9 hours (median, 1.5 hours) for an ICU bed. Half of all hospitals noted maximum waits for floor and ICU beds of ten hours or more and seven hours or more, respectively. Measures taken by hospitals to manage crowding during August 1988 included restricting access to some types of patients (mean, 3.6 days), actively transferring patients to other hospitals (mean, 2.2 days), transfer refusal (mean, 2.8 days), and total ambulance diversion (mean, 1.6 days). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Our study strongly suggests that ED crowding is not an isolated phenomenon; ED crowding and its attendant problems appear to affect hospitals with similar adverse effects regardless of ownership. Although our results suggest that ED crowding is concentrated in metropolitan areas and in a smaller subset of hospitals, we found instances of crowding among hospitals nationwide.

The basis of this concept is a mobile transport unit which can be hooked to the patient's bed, containing a power pack for the monitor, respirator or other devices dependent on power supply. The concept probably improves safety of patients not only during postoperative transfer of the ICU but enables also the safe transfer of critically ill patients from the ICU to diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

In particular, the financial impact of patients transferred to a tertiary surgical intensive care unit (SICU) from a community hospital (interhospital) is unknown, especially when compared with elective (intrahospital) SICU admissions admitted from the tertiary center itself. We prospectively studied outcome and costs in 82 consecutive tertiary SICU admissions. Half were transferred acutely from community hospitals and half were transferred from within the hospital or postoperatively. Severity of illness (APACHE II) was scored on day 1, at the same time of the day (9:00-10:00 AM) and by one attending surgeon (BCB). Acute transfer patients had a significantly elevated mortality (36%) when compared with elective admissions (12%) (p less than 0.05). When stratified by APACHE II score, acute transfers had twice the mortality for equivalent APACHE II scores (p less than 0.05). Acute transfer patients with APACHE II scores greater than 19 had an 89% mortality; those nonsurvivors cost $128,652 each. From these results we conclude the following: (1) Acute transfer patients have a significantly elevated mortality when compared with elective intrahospital admissions with equivalent APACHE II day-1 scores; (2) patients transferred acutely to tertiary SICUs are significantly more costly, irrespective of outcome; (3) admission source (elective vs. acute transfer) should be seriously considered when evaluating patient outcome and cost in a SICU.

The many variables associated with the burn injury contribute to the presentation of each burn patient as one with a unique injury that requires the most vigilant nursing care and expertise. The total dedication required of health care workers as members of a multidisciplinary burn team provides a significant professional challenge. Meeting that challenge appreciably strengthens the chances of burn patient survival.

Significant increases were found in monthly volume (P less than .01) and frequency of penetrating injuries (P less than .05) and significant decreases in patients with insurance coverage (P less than .01) and numbers requiring intensive care (P less than .01). The authors conclude that trauma center closures have significant and measurable effects which influence allocation of scarce resources within remaining hospitals and generate pressures to transfer patients to overburdened public facilities. Transfers undermine continuity of care and education and further threaten the integrity of the trauma system.

A convenience sample of 15 mothers was selected, and the researchers interviewed each mother once within a week after her neonate's transfer. Three themes emerged from the data: (1) the mothers expressed feelings of relief accompanied by concern, fear of the unknown, and feelings of alienation; (2) the mothers depended on familiar things and people; and (3) the mothers experienced feelings of helplessness. The mothers' perceptions of their preparation for transfer and continuity of care were mainly negative.

Infants of less than or equal to 28 weeks' gestation who received all their perinatal care in one of five large centres (each providing more than 600 ventilator days/year) showed significantly better survival rates than infants electively treated throughout their entire course at one of the 12 smaller units (34 survivors from 65 infants (52%) compared with eight survivors from 37 infants (22%). These differences occurred despite the elective transfer of many of the sickest infants from the smaller units to the larger. Differences in survival between more mature infants were not significant. These results support the policy that there should be a more centralised neonatal service for those infants at or below 28 weeks' gestation.

From June 1988 through May 1989, 79 high-risk pregnant patients were evaluated at a monthly clinic at the hospital. The main indications for referral were intrauterine growth retardation (10), twin gestation (9), gestational diabetes (9) and possible fetal anomaly (8). With one exception, all babies were delivered at Naples. The high-risk patients had a 21% incidence of newborns less than 2500 gr, cesarean section rate of 30%, average maternal hospital charge of $2,403/patient, and an average neonatal hospital charge of $1,777/patient. There was a definite change in transport trends from Naples with three more maternal transports and seven fewer neonatal transports over the preceding year. Comprehensive perinatal outreach programs can be implemented at a reasonable cost and provide support and services that strengthen the entire local perinatal health delivery system.

To ensure prompt treatment, identification of factors that delay flow of these patients through the department is essential. To identify factors that delay patient flow through the ED, the authors conducted a prospective study of all chest pain patients, using a time-flow analysis. Eighty-eight (36%) of 245 patients required critical unit admissions and had an average department stay of 3 1/2 hours. Flow differences were seen between critical and noncritical care patients. Three primary sources of delay were identified: critical unit bed availability, the registration process, and the role of the unit admitting resident. Additional findings confirmed the efficacy and role of the triage nurse in patient flow. Nursing and medical education and staffing needs were addressed. The use of the community's emergency medical services was examined by analyzing the disposition of patients arriving at the ED by ambulance.

In the absence of other guidelines, an infant may qualify for ECMO if the expected mortality, based on assessment of the severity of hypoxia, exceeds 80%. However, for a non-ECMO centre, this involves the additional hazard of transport for an already critically-ill infant. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of at least 80% mortality in babies who might have qualified for ECMO but who were cared for in a non-ECMO level 3 nursery. Regardless of the severity or duration of hypoxia, we were unable to identify a group of infants whose mortality exceeded 80%. Since outborn infants were disproportionately over-represented amongst those who might qualify for ECMO, it would be advisable to admit preferentially those born outside the level 3 perinatal centres who might qualify for ECMO directly to the ECMO centre. For infants born within our level 3 perinatal centre, it is recommended not to transfer those who might qualify based on data from other centres until the exact role of ECMO is determined. Alternatively, a randomized controlled trial of transfer versus non-transfer to the ECMO centre for severely hypoxic infants cared for in non-ECMO level 3 nurseries could be considered.

Cases were analyzed according to the following criteria: age, diagnosis, mechanism of injury, admitting service, pediatric trauma score (PTS), length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and in the hospital, and outcome. Forty-three patients were transferred to pediatric trauma centers based on local criteria. Of the remaining 1,264 patients kept at the Level II Trauma Centers, the average patient age was 8.34 year; PTS, 9.74; and length of stay, 4.46 days. Two hundred fifty-eight patients (19.7%) required ICU care for an average length of stay of 2.86 days. Twenty-four patients (1.8%) died; all 24 had a PTS less than or equal to 8. In comparing the data to the guidelines in Appendix J of the American College of Surgeons' Hospital and Prehospital Resources for Optimal Trauma Care of the Injured Patient for transfer to a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center, we found that children with a PTS greater than 8 and who either require ICU care and/or have altered states of consciousness can safely be treated in the adult ICU of a Level II Trauma Center.

Possible causes may be inadequate ventilation, insufficient monitoring, interrupted application of vasoactive drugs, or disconnections and accidental extubation. We constructed a transport unit equipped with a respirator; capnometer; monitor to measure ECG, arterial and intracranial pressures, and temperature; and two syringe pumps that can be connected easily to the patient's bed. Gas is supplied by cylinders with oxygen and air. Electrical power is supplied by two accumulators connected to recharger and transformer devices that deliver 220 V (110 V). Since this transfer unit was introduced, we have had no unanticipated problems during intrahospital ICU patient transport.

Two-thirds presented to hospital within three hours of the onset of symptoms. The median delay between arrival in hospital and admission to the Coronary Care Unit was 60 minutes. Only a minority of patients with acute myocardial infarction were eligible to receive thrombolysis, the most common exclusion criteria being an electrocardiograph that was not diagnostic of infarction at presentation. In-hospital transfer delay has increased considerably since 1972. It did not exclude many patients from receiving thrombolysis but it caused delayed thrombolysis.

Mice were transported within a research facility at 0900 hours in a pattern designed to simulate that commonly used by investigators prior to experimental manipulation. Plasma corticosterone concentration and WBC count were determined at 0.25, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after transport. A significant (P less than 0.05) increase in plasma corticosterone concentration was seen in mice immediately after transport. The normal circadian rhythm of plasma corticosterone concentration was altered for the subsequent 24-hour period. Corresponding significant (P less than 0.05) decreases in total WBC numbers, lymphocyte count, and thymus gland weight were observed. The decrease in total blood lymphocyte numbers at 4 hours was reflected in B- and T-lymphocyte populations. The subsequent acute increase in plasma corticosterone concentration was associated with alterations in the cellular components of the immune system. Results of the study indicated that routine in-house transport of laboratory mice should be considered a stressful stimulus.

Recent evidence suggests that current stabilization measures used by transport teams can be inadequate for this critically ill patient population. In trauma, speed has been considered a necessity to get the patient to a facility which cannot be carried out to the field, eg, an operating room. For acute medical illnesses, critical care transport teams can bring intensive care technology to the patient. Accumulating evidence supports the premise that speed of transport is not as important as stabilization before transport, knowledge of hemodynamics during transport, and early use of critical care monitoring systems. Other reports identify the need for initial evaluation and stabilization of critically ill patients by physicians at the critical care level of expertise. Accordingly, critical care transportation teams have evolved, creating new notions of pretransport stabilization not applicable to previous transport systems.

However, even despite such a delay, many burned patients (75-80%) get well, due to the later adequate complex treatment controlled by experienced burn specialists [correction of combustiologists] in hospital units specially organized and equipped for this category of patients. Within the first 2-4 days after the trauma, it is recommended to distribute major accident victims between different specialized burn units, using specially equipped air and motor transportation vehicles.

A variety of causes have been identified, few of which are operatively remedial. Four cases of children with head trauma are reported, in each of whom there was an interval during which the child verbalized to some degree. Rapid neurological decline then occurred approximately 30-50 h postinjury in each child, who subsequently died from their trauma. In all instances the children were injured in motor vehicle accidents or falls, had initial Glasgow Coma Scale ratings of 9 or better, and demonstrated irritability and restlessness just prior to their deterioration. In no circumstance was a space-occupying intracranial hematoma present. Post-mortem brain examinations in two of the children showed in common multiple cerebral contusions, brain edema with herniation phenomena and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

The injured person faces many unknowns including surgical procedures, hospitalization and rehabilitation. Frequently, the transition from acute care to rehabilitation is frightening. In the intensive care unit (ICU), the patient receives one-to-one nursing care and develops trust, but then may feel abandoned when faced with rehabilitation. In order to facilitate readiness for rehabilitation, coordinators of the Southeastern Michigan Spinal Cord Injury System proposed a checklist of activities designed to meet individual patient and family needs. Coordinators assess the patient within 24 hours of admission to the spinal ICU. The physiatrist is notified of the admission and recommends initial therapies as appropriate. The patient is followed through the acute phase and preparations are made for rehabilitation. A checklist format has been developed to coordinate the transfer. This article describes the checklist and its use at our institution. IS - 0888-0395 IL - 0888-0395 PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S.

In order to allow more accurate assessments of heat loss, heat transfer has been studied in a clean air unit used for intensive care of burned patients. Evaporation rates have been measured from a phantom representing a recumbent human torso with burn wounds simulated by moist lint strips mounted on the surface. Heat transfer is determined by a complex interaction of free and forced convection, with evaporation rate being greatest on the side of the abdomen in free convection and towards the top in the forced case. Air diffusion resistances have been derived to describe evaporative heat transfer from different parts of a body. Equations have been fitted to data obtained under a wide range of conditions, and will be used to evaluate heat losses from burned patients in order to improve treatment conditions.

An evaluation of 30 pediatric referral centers revealed that 60% provide a critical care transport team. Of those teams, the mean number of transports per year was 304. Response time ranged from 10 to 90 minutes. All teams included a physician all or most of the time; 100% of teams included a critical care nurse, and 50% always included a respiratory therapist. Ambulances alone are used in 28% of systems, with the remainder using combinations of ambulances, helicopters, and fixed wing aircraft. A proposal is presented for future standards in pediatric critical care transport with regard to the factors discussed.

The rapid growth of this type of health care delivery coupled with an increasing number of accidents has prompted professional and lay scrutiny of these programs. Although they have a demonstrated history of benefit to patients, the type and severity of injuries to patients who are eligible for helicopter transportation need further definition. The composition of the medical crews and the benefits that particular crew members bring to the patients require ongoing evaluation. Significant questions regarding the number of pilots in a helicopter and in a program remain to be answered. This article reviews the role of emergency medical air transport services in providing care to trauma patients, staff training and evaluation, and safety criteria and offers recommendations to minimize risks to patients and crews.

One third of the transports sustained at least one mishap. Therapeutic intervention scoring system class IV transports had the highest rate of mishaps (35%). We found no relationship of occurrence of mishaps to severity of illness (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation, APACHE II), number of lines, monitoring and support modalities, and time out of the ICU. Transports for elective procedures had more mishaps (60%) than occurred for emergencies (40%). Most mishaps occurred either during the procedure, on transports to CT scan, or while waiting at the destination. The numbers and types of escorts as defined by our ICU policy and physician attendance on transport did not clearly reduce mishap risk. Morbidity and mortality were not affected by mishaps. Although certain trends did emerge, no clearly defined predictive factor could be identified. Further study into transport mishaps is warranted.

AB - DESIGN: Retrospective and prospective study of patients transferred to a regional intensive therapy unit over four years. AB - SETTING: Glasgow regional intensive therapy unit. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Severity of illness was assessed at the time of referral to the unit with the acute physiological and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) scoring system. Mortality was calculated. AB - RESULTS: A significant association was found between increasing duration of illness before transfer and mortality, which was independent of the severity of illness. Mortality also varied depending on the referring hospital. AB - CONCLUSIONS: When transfer of critically ill patients is required this should be done as early as possible to make best use of the services available. The mortality of patients transferred after 10 days casts doubt on whether further aggressive intensive therapy is appropriate.

The results are presented and commented on. The study then deals with some of the specific problems which arise when critically ill patients have to be moved within the hospital. Recent publications and our own experience concerning transport of ventilator-dependent patients suggest that there should at least be monitoring of expiratory volumes. Ventilation of the patient by portable mechanical ventilator has proven superior to manual ventilation since mechanical ventilation is more consistent and therefore fewer hemodynamic complications are to be expected. A simple device is described involving suction (by means of an injector run on oxygen) and an oxygen delivery system including an outlet into which the respirator can be plugged direct. A small shelf which can be easily attached to the bed has proven helpful during transport.

Surprisingly many critically ill (roughly speaking two full ICUs with 8 patients) are transferred daily between Swiss hospitals, which amounts to about 6000 transfers per year. Pediatric cases make up 1/4 of the transfers and follow a rather common pattern, since pediatric units prefer to pick up their patients in the primary hospital with their own personnel and also to transfer them later in the same way. For adult patients no common pattern is recognizable except as regards admissions, which are usually performed by the primary hospital's facilities. We suspect a considerable degree of improvisation around secondary transfers of adults. Well trained personnel, suitable ambulances, good communication and a reasonable degree of monitoring are desirable. Non invasive monitoring techniques are considered mandatory or at least helpful by most of the answering units, whereas invasive monitoring was generally judged superfluous. The large number of secondary patient transfers and their only moderately standardized organization patterns make further research desirable.

Physiological variables were recorded every minute in the four hours before transfer (ICU group only), during the move, and for four hours afterwards. Pretransfer insults were predictive of further insults during and after transport. There was significant correlation between increased frequency of insults post-transfer (compared with pre-transfer) and high injury severity score. A greater proportion of the patients transported from the emergency department had secondary injuries post-transfer. Adequate resuscitation before moving the patient, especially in patients with multiple injury, is important.

However, outcome data substantiating the benefit of these services have been slow in coming. From February 22, 1982, through March 5, 1984, Airlift Northwest transported 118 trauma patients (aged 15 years and older) an average distance of 340 miles (range, 100 to 800 miles) with fixed-wing aircraft. The in-hospital mortality for this group was 19% compared with 18% for a comparable group of trauma patients who were ground-transported from within the city limits of Seattle, Washington. The two groups did not differ significantly in age, Injury Severity Score, or Glasgow Coma Score. These results suggest that some part of the clinical benefit of a regional trauma center may be extended up to 800 miles with no increase in transport-related mortality.

Intensive care level 1 (as defined by the British Paediatric Association and British Association for Perinatal Paediatrics) was determined by two separate techniques, which showed close agreement. Intensive care level 2 could not be measured directly, as the definition was too subjective. This aspect of demand was therefore estimated by using data derived from the treatment of babies transferred for intensive care. These findings represent a minimum estimate of need, as the data were obtained from a service constrained by having facilities well below the estimated level (roughly 60% of estimated demand). In the future other factors such as increased survival of extremely preterm infants will be likely to increase demand still further.

Such an emergency medical service relies on the telephone transmission of ECG and the conversation between the first aid service and the cardiologist of the hospital coronary care unit. It also implies early therapeutic intervention performed at home under the responsibility of the chief physician of the referring centre. From March '86 to December '88, 311 telephone ECG transmissions were obtained; the home diagnosis and the consequent proper therapeutic regimen were considered sufficient to avoid the transportation of the patient to the hospital emergency room in 43% of the cases. The symptoms were: precordial chest pain (54%); palpitations (10%); dyspnea (8.4%); hypertensive crisis (1.3%), dizziness or syncope (12.3%). Pre-surgical or organ transplantation controls totaled 13.5%. One-hundred-forty-eight patients were admitted to the coronary unit because of an acute myocardial infarction between June and December 1988. Forty-seven patients were sent by the family doctor (group I) and 30 patients by the first aid service (group II) without any electrocardiographic diagnosis or home therapy; 14 patients were sent by the first aid service after a telephone transmission of ECG and early therapeutic intervention (group III); 57 patients reached the hospital independently (group IV). The following differences among the groups were observed: only the patients of group III received proper early therapeutic regimen at home, and 85% were admitted within 4 hours of the onset of symptoms (vs 46% of the patients of the other groups).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) IS - 0046-5968 IL - 0046-5968 PT - English Abstract PT - Journal Article PP - ppublish LG - Italian DP - 1989 Aug EZ - 1989/08/01 DA - 1989/08/01 00:01 DT - 1989/08/01 00:00 YR - 1989 ED - 19891219 RD - 20061115 UP - 20171128 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=2806798 <1154. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 2508848 TI - Short term outcome in babies refused perinatal intensive care.

AB - DESIGN: Retrospective study with group comparison. AB - SETTING: Based at the Royal Maternity Hospital, Belfast, with follow up of patients in all obstetric units in Northern Ireland. AB - PATIENTS: Requests for transfer of 675 babies to the regional perinatal centre (prenatally and postnatally) were made from hospitals in Northern Ireland between January 1984 and December 1986. In all, 343 babies were refused admission to the centre, and complete data were available for 332 of them. These babies were either admitted to other neonatal intensive care units (261 babies) or remained in hospitals with only special care cots (71 babies). AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Short term mortality. AB - RESULTS: Seventy of the 332 babies refused admission to the centre died compared with 51 of the 333 who were admitted. Multivariate analysis based on a logistic model showed a non-significant increase in mortality among babies treated in other intensive care units compared with babies treated in the centre (relative odds 1.2; 95% confidence interval 0.7 to 1.9). The increase in mortality in babies who remained in a special care baby unit, however, was significant (3.5; 1.7 to 7.0). This increase was particularly significant in babies born at less than or equal to 32 weeks' gestation and who weighed less than 1500 g (8.4; 2.5 to 28.1). AB - CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study confirm the benefits of neonatal intensive care and its particular value in improving survival in babies of low birth weight. As the babies were refused admission to the regional perinatal centre because intensive care cots were not available this deficiency should be corrected. OA - KIE: The study reported sought to compare the mortality in infants refused admission to Northern Ireland's regional perinatal center with that in babies accepted by the center. Admission was determined by bed availability. Over a three-year period, 343 of 675 prenatal or postnatal transfer requests were refused. Complete data available for 332 of the refusals showed that 261 infants were cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in other hospitals, and 71 infants were cared for in special care units in other hospitals. There was no significant increase in mortality for infants treated in other NICUs, while the infants treated in special care units had a greater than threefold chance of dying. Long-term outcome for both groups remains uncertain. The authors call for more neonatal intensive care beds and further study of the effects of delaying or denying intensive care for at-risk infants.; Language: English NT - KIE BoB Subject Heading: patient care/minors NT - KIE BoB Subject Heading: resource allocation/biomedical technologies NT - KIE BoB Subject Heading: selection for treatment NT - Full author name: Sidhu, Harmini NT - Full author name: Heasley, Richard N NT - Full author name: Patterson, Christopher C NT - Full author name: Halliday, Henry L NT - Full author name: Thompson, William IS - 0959-8138 IL - 0959-535X PT - Journal Article ID - PMC1837594 [pmc] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1989 Sep 09 EZ - 1989/09/09 DA - 1989/09/09 00:01 DT - 1989/09/09 00:00 YR - 1989 ED - 19891208 RD - 20131002 UP - 20171128 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=2508848 <1155. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 10295710 TI - Front-page coverage.

It has been shown that spontaneous respiration leads to the onset of arterial hypoxemia, which is more pronounced in patients after thoracic surgery. Inhalation of vapourized O2 through nasal catheters during transportation reduces the incidence and degree of arterial hypoxemia. Assisted lung ventilation with O2 prevents the onset of arterial hypoxemia during transportation.

Among the demographic, birth and delivery, and diagnostic characteristics studied, nine were identified to be related significantly to the higher neonatal mortality rate among transports to tertiary NICUs: birthweight, gestational age, necessity of intubation, multiple clinical conditions, presence of cardiac, neurologic, and genitourinary problems, anomalies, and syndromes. Adjusting for differences in the number of cases with necessity of intubation and the presence of the five clinical problems reduced the neonatal mortality ratio of tertiary to intermediate NICUs from 1:56 to 1:01, while adjustment for birthweight and gestational age differences reduced the ratio from 1.56 to 1.54. This analysis indicates that the difference of neonatal mortality between the two levels of NICUs can be explained to a larger extent by the higher proportion of infants requiring intubation with serious clinical problems. Birthweight and gestational age played only a minor role in this respect.

Of 413 liveborn infants, 182 (42.3%) were involved in 256 transportations. Sixty-eight infants (16.5%) were transported from home or from a lesser to a more sophisticated neonatal unit within 48 hours of birth for neonatal intensive care. Twenty-five infants (6.1%), comprising 12 in utero (9 mothers) and 13 liveborn infants were transported out of their region because of a lack of intensive care spaces locally: 17 of these infants, including five born in National Women's Hospital, were Auckland and Northland infants (this representing 15% of regional very low birthweight infants). Hamilton received 12 infants from outside their region (14% of very low birthweight infants cared for). One hundred and fifty-three infants (45.1% of 339 surviving infants) were transported from one of the five regional neonatal intensive care centres to a smaller centre nearer home following recovery from intensive care. Most neonatal transportation is highly appropriate transfer within regions enabling scarce skills and resources to be concentrated in the regional centre and allowing infants to return nearer home when they are no longer sick. The number of very low birthweight infants coming to neonatal intensive care units increased dramatically in the decade prior to 1986 despite a fall in total New Zealand births. Now that the total births are increasing again the pressure on neonatal intensive care spaces is likely to increase further.

Only 17.3% had been transferred by a mobile coronary care unit (MCCU). The rates of utilization were lower among residents of the Mount Carmel area and among those hospitalized in Carmel Hospital. Those of European origin used MCCU less than those of Asian-African origin. The rate of usage was inversely related to the level of education. Multivariate analysis showed that the continent of origin explained the largest proportion of the variance. Age of patient and day of week were not of significance. Patients who had had a previous coronary event used the MCCU more than those had not. Only 13% referred to hospitals by physicians in the community were transferred by MCCU, in contrast to 33% of those referred by Magen David Adom stations. 67% of the patients had prior knowledge of the MCCU, but this was not associated with rate of usage. We conclude that the use of the MCCU in the Haifa area is not consistent with its original objectives. The reasons are both patient- and service-related.

The American Academy of Pediatrics new Provisional Committee on Emergency Medicine has been charged with the responsibility of developing national standards of emergency care for children and are currently at work on such a landmark document. We have had a functioning statewide system for the management of life threatening injuries in children for the past 10 years. In 1985, 320 children were admitted to our trauma center. The evolution, organization, and current status of the Maryland system is described in this report. Hopefully it may serve as one successful model which could be modified for use in other regions of the country.

All patients admitted between May 1983 and April 1984 were studied. Details were obtained about the cause and extent of the burn, the immediate first aid measures provided, causes for delay in arrival at the Burns Centre and, when appropriate, the initial care and its adequacy before transferring the victim from another hospital. A total of 276 patients were studied, of whom 152 were transferred. Early management by referring hospitals was often far from ideal, with errors in initial care that should have been avoided.

Our experience shows that good communication comes only from good relationships between our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staff and each referring hospital's staff. This article describes the two educational methods used to aid these relationships: the development of site visits and the distribution of informative publications. By using these methods, our relationships with our 17 referring hospital staffs have improved, which has had a direct bearing on more effective communication during neonatal transport.

It was intended to estimate the unmet need for neonatal medical care and to find out what happens after an attempt to transfer a pregnant woman or a baby has been unsuccessful. A total of 3734 attempts had been made, of which 1646 were for in utero cases and 2088 were for postnatal cases. Nationally, about 9% of attempts to transfer (331) were unsuccessful. In most regions a high proportion of attempts that were eventually successful had taken a considerable amount of time to arrange. It is concluded that despite a twofold increase since 1980 in the number of cots available for neonatal intensive care, arrangements for such provision in the UK are not adequate to meet every request for transfer. No health region in England or country in the UK was able to meet every request immediately, and some regions had great difficulties in arranging even those transfers that had been accepted. Such delays in transfer may lead to appreciable extra morbidity and considerable costs in future.

Suddenly in a high risk situation and faced with family separation, these parents may display intense grief and crisis reactions related to their infant's status and transfer. The high risk interventions they require are frequently incongruent with the wellness orientation of staff specializing in care of the low risk clients. Nevertheless, low risk specialists have a critical role in assisting parents through this difficult transition to parenthood. Effective strategies are based upon: understanding that at some point infants requiring transfer to a regional NICU will be born; advance planning to prepare staff to assist parents during this type of crisis; establishing an ongoing relationship with staff from the regional NICU; and identification of crisis support networks available to parents and to staff within the low risk setting.

In this paper, the outcomes for and resources used by transferred babies are added to those of the hospital of birth for three of the study years--1978, 1980, and 1982. Patterns of transfer differ between units and over time in the region, and a regional neonatal intensive care policy was introduced in 1980. Analysis of the new variables showed that in 1978 paediatric staffing was significantly inversely related to neonatal mortality. In later years, neonatal mortality of births at maternity units is explained entirely by the proportion of low or very low weight births.

As a result of high census and high acuity levels, our burn center transfers patients with smaller burns to adult and pediatric surgical floors. Thus, nurses with less expertise in burn nursing techniques provide care to these patients. In an effort to evaluate the quality of discharge teaching provided to patients discharged from the Burn Intensive Care Unit (BICU), pediatric, and surgical step-down units, we developed a questionnaire to be completed at their first clinic visit. After consideration of these preliminary results, an education program was developed to improve discharge teaching techniques for nurses caring for burn patients in stepdown areas.

The events in their prenatal course and acute neonatal course were similar, thus making comparisons of their convalescent course possible. Weight gain was greater among the transported infants for infants with birth weights greater than or equal to 2,000 g and comparable if birth weight was less than 2,000 g. Transported infants received fewer transfusions than their nontransported counterparts. Tolerance of feedings, the occurrence of apnea and bradycardia, and use and discontinuance of supplemental oxygen were similar in both groups. Major new health problems occurred in 27% of all subjects, 20% of transported infants and 32% of nontransported infants. Readmission to the tertiary center or a change in status to more intensive care in the tertiary center occurred in 10% of all infants, 7% of transported and 14% of nontransported infants. It was concluded that convalescing infants often presented new clinical problems, in similar numbers and severity whether convalescing in the tertiary center or after back transport to community hospitals. Community hospital care givers were considered alert to these new problems and to have provided appropriate care, including retransfer to the tertiary center when necessary.

Of these, 315 babies were neonatal referrals and 91 were born in the unit after antenatal transfer from their district hospital. Significantly fewer of the babies referred as neonates survived (n = 167, 53%) compared with 67 of the antenatal referrals (74%), and 490 of those born in the unit (78%). They also had a higher incidence of major handicaps (24 of 167, 14%) compared with six of 67 (9%) of the antenatal referrals and 35 of 490 (7%) of those born in the unit. To control for selection bias among neonatal referrals, the outcome of ventilated neonatal referrals was compared with that of ventilated babies born in the unit. The two groups were comparable for the incidence of a wide range of neonatal complications. No differences in rates of survival or handicap were found. We conclude that sick babies transferred after birth to regional neonatal intensive care units have similar short and long term outcomes to sick babies born in regional units.

Of the 56 patients, 36 (65%) were males and 20 (35%) were females with an age range of 14-82 years (mean, 48 years). The Apache II score ranged from 3-49 (mean, 19.4). There were seven types of diagnostic studies: CT of the head (28), CT of abdomen (35), CT of chest (four), angiography (nine), ventilation/perfusion scan (three), tomography (seven) and miscellaneous studies (15). The average trip time was 81 minutes, a range of 15-210, requiring an average of 3.3 personnel per trip. Ninety-four transported patients had ventilatory support, 26 had PA lines, and 26 transports required three or more IV infusion pumps. Sixty-eight per cent of all transports experienced serious physiologic changes of 5 minutes' duration defined as BP systolic or diastolic +/- 20 mm Hg (40%), pulse +/- 20 beats/minute (21%), ventilatory rate +/- 5/minute (20%), O2 saturation decrease by 5% or more (17%). There was a total of 113 serious changes requiring an increase in support of the patient during the transport. There were no significant differences when comparing diagnosis of patient or types of studies to the number of changes in the physiologic parameters, nor were there significant differences within a physiologic parameter when comparing patient types or diagnostic studies.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) IS - 0022-5282 IL - 0022-5282 PT - Journal Article PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1988 Jul EZ - 1988/07/01 DA - 1988/07/01 00:01 DT - 1988/07/01 00:00 YR - 1988 ED - 19880907 RD - 20071115 UP - 20171128 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=3135417 <1187. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 3400945 TI - [Neonatal care.

Most patients required both tracheal intubation (82 per cent) and mechanical ventilation (71 per cent), while continuous vasopressor support was required in 27 per cent of transfers. Patients were classified as either potential organ donors (n = 21) or nondonor patients (n = 86). Nondonor patients had a mean time of patient transfer documented from the initial telephone contact to final arrival of the patient in the ICU of 345 +/- 221 min (range 65-1350 min); the mean time the patients were out-of-hospital was 73 +/- 58 min (range 5-330 min); the average distance travelled by the patient and PATS was 342 +/- 692 km (range 1-4000 km). Ultimate nonsurvivors of ICU admission (36 per cent) had shorter out-of-hospital times, shorter travel distances, and increased interventional support, as assessed by the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System applied over the telephone and prior to departure at the referring hospital. Significant interventions were undertaken by PATS in 23 per cent of the nondonor patients prior to departure. During the transport process, there was at least a seven per cent morbidity (arrhythmia, hypotension, and vehicular difficulties) and a 0.9 mortality rate. We conclude that PATS offered significant advantages to this patient population through its ability to maintain acceptable morbidity and mortality rates while transferring patients over long distances and for prolonged periods of time.

All infants referred to a neonatal department in Munich or Southern Bavaria from 1979 to 1981 were included. The data of infants born in Munich perinatal centers were compared to those of infants delivered in hospitals in the Munich area (radius 30 km) and in other hospitals in Southern Bavaria. Ninety-four percent of 248 LBW neonates born in the Munich perinatal centers, 87.5% of 736 infants and 84.4% of 681 LBW infants from the Munich area and Southern Bavaria respectively survived the first week of life although the morbidity risks of inborn infants were higher than those of the outborn. The presence of a pediatrician at birth and during neonatal transport to an NICU did not improve survival rates of infants delivered outside the perinatal centers. The effectiveness of neonatal transport systems is limited. They should be complemented by a maternal transport system, i.e., an infant transport in utero for cases in which the necessity for intensive neonatal care is expected.

The service has carried out 599 transports of which 311 were emergency retrievals. Total numbers of transports have increased each year although the demand for emergency retrievals has levelled off. The characteristics of babies requiring emergency retrieval have not changed. One-third of deaths occurred before retrieval could be effected, and 10% of retrieved babies subsequently died. Avoidable deaths seemed uncommon in the latter group. The neonatal transport service is an important part of regionalised perinatal care in the Waikato.

Despite an increase in available resources in the North Western Health Region the provision of intensive care remained inadequate with 38% of requests declined, and babies had to be referred elsewhere including to neighbouring health regions. The survival of those babies who had to remain at the hospital of birth (49%) was significantly lower than for those transferred to the regional centre (71%). Those babies declined admission had significantly lower gestational ages and birth weights than those accepted. For those babies with respiratory failure and birth weights of less than 1500 g within these two groups, however, there were no significant differences in birth weight, gestational age, or gender yet survival was significantly better for those transferred. Babies from multiple pregnancies caused particular problems if neonatal transfer was required.

Nasotracheal intubation has been used as the sole method of airway management of acute supraglottitis at The Children's Hospital, Boston, since 1970. This paper reviews our experience with 80 children with acute supraglottitis presenting at our institution during the years 1980 to 1985.

When judged by eventual outcome, the impact of CT scans remains uncertain. The influence of transportation is difficult to assess; it requires experienced team work and is contraindicated in cases where respiratory or circulatory stability might be seriously impaired.

Considerable centralization was achieved by antenatal and neonatal transport. Although the uncorrected mortality rates were similar, the mortality odds (adjusted for four and 22 potential confounding perinatal factors, respectively) were significantly higher in level 1 and level 2 hospitals compared with level 3 hospitals (tertiary perinatal care centers). By extending the facilities for full perinatal intensive care in level 3 centers and thus providing optimal care for all such infants, the overall mortality rate is expected to decrease further.

The "transport score" used five variables: blood glucose, blood pressure, pH, pO2, and temperature. Each variable was scored 0, 1, or 2, with a total achievable score from 0 to 10. Twenty-one matched pairs of infants included one infant who lived and one who died. The transport scores upon admission of infants who lived was significantly greater than the scores of those who died (P less than 0.01). Scores less than eight were predictive of death (sensitivity 62%, specificity 81%). The system was then applied prospectively to 106 different infants after stabilization by the hospital-of-origin (pre-transport) and upon admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (post-transport). Although 75 (76%) of the 99 surviving infants had both stabilization and admissions scores of eight or more, only 2 (29%) of the 7 infants who died had both scores of eight or more. Of 85 infants with a stabilization score of eight or greater, only 3 (3.5%) died, while of 21 infants with stabilization scores less than eight, 4 (19%) died. Similarly, of 90 infants with an admission score of eight or more, only 4 (4.4%) died, while of 16 with an admission score of less than eight, 3 (19%) died. We conclude that transport scores provide a valid indication of the condition of preterm infants and may be used to provide quality assurance for stabilization and transport efforts.

These measurements were recorded continuously while the patients breathed room air. Of the patients studied, 28.1 per cent exhibited significant arterial desaturation of less than or equal to 90 per cent. The corresponding PO2 for this saturation level is less than or equal to 58 mmHg. In only 45 per cent of these desaturated patients was the desaturation recognized clinically by the presence of cyanosis. Age, type of anaesthetic, the use or avoidance of narcotics, and the use of controlled or spontaneous respiration had no significant relationship to the incidence of desaturation. Since more than a one quarter of all patients studied desaturated significantly, and since cyanosis can be difficult to detect clinically during the transfer period, the use of supplemental oxygen during transfer should be considered by the anaesthetist at the end of every paediatric general anaesthetic.

In 24 of 132 transfers to a burn center the extent of injury was overestimated at the transferring emergency room by 100% or more. This incorrect burn size estimation seems related to reliance on guesswork or use of the Rule of Nines. The incidence of error is greater in smaller burns.

Presently, 4 such services are available in the Paris area for neonatal and pediatric emergencies. Coordination of these services was established in 1980, to establish a close collaboration between the various medical teams by linking them in a synergic way. This resulted, in 1985, in 6,740 transports of children, 83% of which in an emergency. Neonatal pathology accounted for 70% of the transports and 53% of transported children required assisted ventilation. The importance of these pediatric emergency services, their specificity and their level of technicality suggest that they contributed to the decrease of the pediatric and neonatal morbidity and mortality recorded in the past decade.

During that period 1866 neonates were transferred from maternities of Strasbourg and its region to the neonatology unit, representing 23.77% of total admissions. The 350 premature babies born before or at 32 weeks of pregnancy amount to 55% of babies born at the same gestational age. Mortality in that group (46.52%) was associated mainly with hyaline membrane disease and intraventricular haemorrhage. Neonatal infections and congenital malformations were seen in children born after 32 weeks. To improve the quality of transport and reduce morbidity and mortality, the biological and haemodynamic parameters of the neonates should be stabilized prior to their transfer, and all the necessary precautions (i.e. ventilation, oxygenation, temperature, glycaemia, asepsis) should be observed at every stage of their journey. In high-risk pregnancies, "transfer in utero" to a neonatal intensive care unit undoubtedly is the best solution.

The practitioner must proceed with emergent stabilization of the infant with specific therapies for identified problems and nonspecific therapies for suspected problems, recognizing that the coexistence of two or more pathophysiologic entities is not uncommon. By the time of transport, the practitioner may have laid the groundwork for further diagnostic procedures and therapies by having already classified the infant into one of four primary pathophysiologic categories, as outlined in Table 4. Although congenital heart disease may be highly suspected, confirmation may not be possible without echocardiography. The practitioner, however, should not be discouraged by failure to achieve a specific etiologic diagnosis, despite careful analysis of all the information obtained from diagnostic evaluations prior to transport. Hypoxemia refractory to oxygen administration and assisted ventilation is found in many clinical conditions and results from a variety of pathophysiological disorders. The pediatrician caring for such an infant has primary responsibility for stabilization and preparation for transport of the infant to a Level III facility, and for communicating information about diagnostic procedures and therapeutic maneuvers that might facilitate extended resuscitative efforts by the neonatologist accepting responsibility for the transport and subsequent care of the infant.

The tragic catastrophe started in a large LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) storage and distribution centre in San Juan Ixhuatepec, 20 km north of Mexico City. The facilities, owned by the Pemex State Oil Company, consisted of six spherical storage tanks (four with a volume of 1600 m3 and two with a volume of 2400 m3) and 48 horizontal cylindrical bullet tanks of different sizes. At the time of the disaster the storage tanks contained 11,000 m3 of a mixture of propane and butane. The inhabitants of San Juan Ixhuatepec numbered about 40,000, and a further 60,000 lived in the hills surrounding the village. The majority were poor country people living in one-story houses constructed of concrete pillars filled in with bricks and with roofs of iron sheets. The disaster started due to LPG leakage, probably a pipe leakage or rupture due to excess pressure. A vapour cloud built up and was slowly moved by the north-east wind towards the ground-placed flare pit located in the western part of the plant. The vapour cloud was ignited around 5:40 a.m. and was followed by an extensive fire at the plant area. The first explosion was registered on the seismograph at the University of Mexico at 05 h 44 min 52 s and was followed by a dozen explosions within the next hour, some of them of BLEVE type (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) due to rupture of one or more storage tanks. Two of the explosions had an intensity of 0.5 on the Richter scale. Unburned and burning gas entered the houses south of the plant area and set fire to everything. Blast waves from the explosions not only destroyed a number of houses but also shifted several cylindrical tanks from their supports and added more gas to the fire. The smaller spheres and some of the cylinders exploded and fragments and even whole cylinders weighing around 30 tons, were scattered over distances ranging from a few to up to 1200 m.

Children from the neighboring gynecological clinic were more frequently delivered by cesarean section and practically always benefited from uninterrupted pediatric care from birth on. The incidence of surfactant deficiency syndrome among these infants was lower in all weight groups; intraventricular hemorrhages were less common and their chances of survival were better. The study confirms that the prognosis for high-risk children transferred "in utero" is better than for patients moved postnatally, even in a new perinatal center.

This, however, has created new clinical dilemmas in obstetric management and delivery. This article provides a critical review of published work, highlights the questions that remain unanswered and suggests guidelines for clinical management in the light of current knowledge.

Of the 162, 64 (40%) were born in the unit because their mothers had received antenatal care there, 58 (36%) were born in another hospital and subsequently transferred, and 40 (25%) were transferred in utero because of potential complications. The overall mortalities for each group were 14%, 38%, and 18% respectively. These differences were significant, but when they were corrected for gestation, birth weight, and mode of delivery there was no difference in either the mortality or the incidence of intraventricular haemorrhage in the three study populations. Although there seem to be no distinct advantages of in utero transfer in terms of mortality and morbidity, there are other psychological and emotional advantages.

Documentation of perinatal regionalization statistics at Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island in Providence support the increasing proportion of low birth weight infants in the region being born at the tertiary care center, the decreasing number of neonatal transports in concert with an increasing number of maternal transports, and the increasing proportion of neonatal transports with birth weights greater than or equal to 2500 gm. Patterns of modern perinatal care are materially changing the delivery of health care at tertiary care facilities.

The authors attempted to quantify stabilization into a score, the neonatal stabilization score (NSS) that correlates with outcome. The population for the study comprised 192 transported NBs who weighed less than 1,000 g at birth moved from level 1 hospitals in New York City during 5 years, 1977-1981. The NSS score was based on five components: vital signs, laboratory investigations, respiratory support, I.V. fluid administration, and specific managements. Each was rated 0, 1, or 2. A maximum score of 10 indicated excellent stabilization. Analyses for the validity and reliability of the NSS included the Mantel-Haenszel test (which controlled for birth weight and Apgar) and measurement of interrater agreement "k" (kappa statistic). Mortality rates were lower in those with higher NSS and odds of death were 2.39 times greater in NB with low NSS (chi 2 = 5.16; P less than 0.025). The calculated index of agreement k on 16 charts represented an excellent agreement beyond chance (k = 0.76, P less than 0.01).

Two time periods consisting of two calendar years each, were analyzed: 1974 to 1975 (initiation of perinatal regionalization) and 1979 to 1980 (regionalization established). The neonatal mortality for infants weighing between 501 and 1,500 g decreased significantly between the two time periods. Neurodevelopmental morbidity was unchanged. The costs per survivor (hospital charges plus estimated costs of long-term care of handicapped survivors) were consistent over the time periods studied. The estimated benefits per survivor increased between the time periods, although this increase was not statistically significant. Benefits outweighed costs in both study periods. When one compares the economic data of 1974 to 1975 with that of 1979 to 1980, the increase in the absolute number of normal survivors since the establishment of regionalized neonatal care has resulted in benefits surpassing costs by $2 million (a greater than twofold increase). Regionalized neonatal care in the state of Rhode Island has had a positive economic outcome. IS - 0031-4005 IL - 0031-4005 PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.

Mortality of these infants in the first year of life decreased from 50% in 1978 to 32% in 1981. Our study confirms that mortality is significantly higher in transported infants. As to those born in our Hospital, mortality is markedly higher for breech delivery than for cephalic delivery or caesarian section. The amelioration of intensive care techniques, i.e. continuous transcutaneous PaO2 monitoring, orotracheal intubation at birth and improved respiratory care, markedly reduced the percentage of children with neuromotor pathology (from 43% in 1978 to 0% in 1981 in 16 survivors). Neurological follow-up was performed by serial controls until at least 2 years of age; Apgar scores and blood gas values are reported along with follow-up results to evaluate prognostic significance. Duration of orotracheal intubation, isolette requirement and feeding schedules are briefly discussed.

The authors compared the charges for medical care during convalescence of a group of back-transported infants (BT infants; n = 20) with a similar group of infants who remained in a tertiary center for convalescence (NT infants; n = 20). The total charges for convalescent care (inpatient plus transport charges) for 20 representative BT infants was $61,840, compared with $68,240 for 20 matched NT infants, an average savings of $320 per BT infant. The average daily bed charge and charges for laboratory tests and medications were significantly less for BT infants compared with NT infants, and these reductions offset the transport charges for BT infants. The authors conclude that back transport decreases the charges for medical care for most infants. Therefore, the decision to back-transport an individual infant usually can be based on factors other than cost.

On the other hand, of 43 patients who were seen within 15 min after the onset of AMI, 11 (25.6%) were diagnosed as having PVf. We divided a series of 365 AMI patients who were seen from 1971 to 1980 into two groups: one group consisted of 178 patients seen within 6 hours after the onset of symptoms, and the other group of 187 patients seen after 6 hours after the onset. The incidence of heart failure with Killip's class 2,3 and 4 was less in the former group than the latter (p less than 0.01). Delays in providing prompt medical treatment appear to be due to the physicians' delayed response, transportation facilities as well as the patients themselves. Public education should help considerably in reducing the time period between the occurrence of symptoms and better medical care.

Three time-periods were compared: 1969-1971, 1972-1974, and 1975-1978. These limits were chosen to take into account the introduction of continuous airway positive pressure in the unit in 1972, and the gradual implementation, from 1972 onwards, of a new perinatal care policy in France. The mortality rate was significantly lower in the second period than in the first, after adjustment on birthweight and type of disease. This trend varied according to type of disease: the death decreased significantly in case of membrane disease or foetal distress, but not in case of admission for amniotic inhalation or congenital anomalies. The gradual improvement in newborn's condition on arrival in the unit played a part in the improvement in survival, as well as the use of the continuous airway positive pressure.

Successful implementation of a transport program, while requiring a high degree of professional and institutional cooperation, can produce enormous patient care dividends. Optimal survival at minimal cost is clearly possible in regionalized systems characterized by appropriate in-utero and infant transport. Given optimal circumstances, previously held contraindications to in-utero transport appear to decrease or disappear. Thus, in the context of a regionalized network, in-utero transport is the standard of care that should be offered to all infants at risk.

The NMR of 3,524 infants transported from primary centers to NICUs was significantly higher [relative risk (RR) = 2.1; 95% CL = 1.9 to 2.3] than that of 10,764 infants born in tertiary centers and admitted directly to an NICU. This effect persisted even after adjustment for birth-weight differences (RR = 1.6; 95% CL = 1.5 to 1.8). The relative risk in favor of delivery in a tertiary center increased with increasing birth weight. However, the proportion of infants of less than 1,000 gm surviving was higher for transported infants and increased with distance transported. This finding suggests that, at these very low birth weights, the hardiest infants were selectively transported. A surprising finding was the very low proportion of low-birth-weight infants delivered in primary centers and transported to NICUs (eg, 32% of infants weighing between 1,001 and 1,200 gm). Our findings support previous reports that delivery in a hospital with an NICU is preferable to later neonatal transport and suggest that efforts to increase the rate of maternal transport in high-risk pregnancies can lead to a substantial reduction in infant deaths.

The mean birthweight (+/- 1 S.D.) was 1391 g (+/- 415 g) for the infants transferred in utero, and 1398 g (+/- 415 g) for the infants transferred neonatally. The mean gestational age of the two groups was 29.9 completed weeks for both groups. Survival was defined as discharge from the neonatal unit and intraventricular hemorrhage was diagnosed ultrasonically. The survival rate was 83% for the group transferred in utero and 70% for the group transferred postnatally (p = less than 0.01). The incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage was 30% and 45% respectively (p = less than 0.01). Using birthweight specific perinatal mortality rates and intraventricular hemorrhage rates of the neonatally transferred group for standardisation, it can be calculated that 27 infants survived and 31 were protected from intraventricular hemorrhage because of in utero transfer. It is concluded that infants likely to require neonatal intensive care have decreased mortality and morbidity if transferred in utero to a center with these facilities rather than being transferred neonatally.

Assuming that the birth is not traumatic, the infant asphyxiated, or made hypothermic at birth, the chances of the very small premature baby developing normally are great. The delivery of an infant of less than or equal to 32 weeks' gestational age or weighing less than 1,500 gm should occur at a perinatal center when possible.

Machines monitoring temperature, respiration and apnoea, heart-rate and rhythm, inspired oxygen, arterial oxygen and transcutaneous oxygen, blood-pressure and transcutaneous carbon dioxide are physically and electronically complex and yet they will have to be understood by clinicians and nurses without more than minimal training in their use. This paper assesses the clinical needs of the neonatal unit and discusses the available monitors from the clinician's point of view. The role of trend monitors, and monitoring of sick infants during transport from hospital to hospital are also discussed. If these monitors can be used correctly by medical and nursing staff, valuable time can be gained for the nursing of the baby. Failure of correct application may make life more dangerous for the sick or preterm infant.

To evaluate its effectiveness, the number of telephone calls to the ICN made by the mothers using the unit was used as a variable to "quantify" interest in their newborns; this was compared with the number of calls made by a matched group of mothers who did not utilize the videophone. There was a significantly larger number of calls made by the study mothers both while hospitalized and after discharge when they no longer had use of the videophone. Use of the unit appeared to alleviate some maternal anxieties and encouraged early endearment by the study mothers. How this affects the long-term relationship between infant and mother will require further follow-up investigation.

We were able to determine, that the patients' decision time followed by the transportation time accounted for the greater part of the pre-hospitalization period. The contact time between general practitioner and patient played only an insignificant role in the total time-lag. In a comparison of the years 1973/74 and 1979/80 an increase in the patients' decision time and a decrease in the transportation time became evident. Noteworthy was, that in approximately one-fifth of the cases the telephone call to the doctor was not answered. Since an improvement in informing the general public about prodromal symptoms of heart attacks does not seem to bring about a decrease in the decision time, a shortening of the pre-hospitalization period could succeed through a reduction in transportation time and an improvement in doctor accessibility. The use of mobile coronary care units, in particular in rural areas, and improvement in doctors' radio communication services would in that case be matters for discussion.

Of 445 telephone consultations or patient referrals, 150 women gave birth at the tertiary center. Indications for maternal transfer were predominantly based on the needs or anticipated needs of the fetus. There were a total of 163 births, 10 of them stillborn and 153 live-born. Three infants expired in the delivery room. Sixty infants (40%) required 580 days of intensive care. A total of 1,439 days of care in the intermediate unit was required and 1,077 days of care in other areas of the nursery. Adjusting these figures for a 0.8 occupancy rate revealed that two intensive care beds, 4.9 intermediate care beds, and 3.6 minimal care beds were required for just these maternally transported infants. Maternal transfers will result in a disproportionate increase in the workload of a nursery because of the immaturity and small size of these infants. When considering a maternal transfer service, appropriate planning must be made to meet the special needs of both the infants and their mothers.

During 1980, 172 infants (65% of eligible infants) were back transported from a Level III nursery to both Level I and Level II community hospitals. Infants who were returned to Level II hospitals tended to be smaller at the time of transfer, were less frequently nipple fed, and more frequently required oxygen supplementation compared with infants returned to Level I hospitals. Back transport permitted physicians to defer 3,892 days of hospitalization for these infants to community hospitals, an equivalent savings of approximately ten hospital beds at full occupancy. This resulted in a 44% reduction in the need for services in the newborn intensive care unit. Back transport is an efficient means of dealing with overcrowding of Level III nurseries.

While these infants usually need only to gain weight, they are still at risk for significant neonatal problems. We report four cases of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in nine stable, growing premature infants who weighed less than 1,300 g and returned to community hospitals. The onset of NEC was within 60 hours of transport, suggesting that transport and early feeding after transport may have been contributory to NEC.

As part of a hospital renovation project, 82 patients were assessed over a period of eight months to determine the effects of mass transfer on physical, mental, and social functioning. Twenty-five staff members also assessed the social climate before and after the transfer. The author found that involuntary relocation of living quarters within the same institution did not significantly affect the functioning of the chronic psychiatric patients. He attributes the lack of disruption to continuity of care in a familiar environment and to a continuous schedule of supportive activities conducted outside of the ward.

The 70 transferred patients received 1,592 days of care in the level III facility, the mean stay was 22.7 +/- 26.3 (+/- 1 SD) days, and the rate was 413 days of care per 1,000 live births. However, only 59 of the transferred patients required care in a neonatal ICU. These infants were hospitalized a total of 554 days in the ICU, the mean stay was 9.4 +/- 9.7 days, and the rate was 143.9 days per 1,000 live births. There were 20 infants with birth weights of 1,250 gm or less. Seven died without transfer and 13 were transferred to a level III nursery. Ten of the transferred infants required mechanical ventilation during their hospital course, two infants required continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and one infant, neither. Of the 24 infants of less than 30 weeks' gestation, seven died at the level II nursery and 16 were transferred. Of the transferred infants, 11 required mechanical ventilation. Only two infants required neither CPAP nor mechanical ventilation. These data suggest that level II nurseries can reduce the need for neonatal ICU beds. They also suggest that the majority of newborns weighing 1,250 gm or less and/or of less than 30 weeks' gestation will require care in a neonatal ICU and that their mothers should be referred when possible to a level III facility for delivery.

All premature infants born alive during the years 1977 through 1979 whose birth weights ranged from 500 to 1,250 gm were included. The outcome for the VLBW infants born at the Ohio State University Regional Perinatal Center (OSU-RPC) was compared to that for VLBW infants delivered at the other five community hospitals with maternity services. Thirty-eight percent of the 270 VLBW neonates born at the community hospitals and 53% of the 186 VLBW premature infants delivered at the OSU-RPC survived. These differences are statistically significant at the p less than 0.01 level. Delivery at a perinatal center where comprehensive maternal-fetal-neonatal services are available improves survival for the VLBW infant.

Among 13,560 singleton low-birth-weight infants, the adjusted neonatal mortality rate for Level 3 hospitals was 128.5 per thousand live births - significantly lower (P less than 0.001) than the rates for both level 2 (168.1) and Level 1 units (163.0). The association of level of care with mortality could not be accounted for by differences between groups in social or demographic status, in prenatal care, or in medical complication of pregnancy. We infer that birth at a Level 3 center lowers neonatal mortality in low-birth-weight infants. However, only 34 per cent of the patients in this study were born in such units.

Twenty-three percent (99) of the infants were ventilated, and 49% (189) received intravenous or intra-arterial therapy. Fifty-six percent (217) of the infants required transport because of prematurity; 11% (46) because of perinatal asphyxia in babies weighing more than 2,500 g. Only one baby died during transport, while 14% of the babies died subsequently. A core temperature of less than 36 degrees C in either hospital is important; a cold baby is 3.5 times more likely to die (X2=25.46, P less than 0.001). The transport of babies over distances greater than 300 kilometres is peculiar to Australia. Significantly more of these babies were cold than those retrieved from hospitals near Adelaide (X2=4.7, P less than 0.05), and significantly more died. Difficulty in transferring mothers in preterm labour may be another reason these babies did relatively badly. Better education and facilities will be important if we are to improve their survival chances.

Analysis of 250 children whose birth weight was below 2,000 gm showed that several risk factors could be taken into account to reduce neonatal mortality in this area. Prematurity (22% children weighing less than 1,500 gm in those discharged alive, 54% in the dead), neonatal distress (36% versus 61% of resuscitation) hypothermia (7% versus 23% with temperature below 34 degrees 6 at the time of admission), the need for an other transfer (1% vs. 12%) seem to be features highly related with poor prognosis. This stresses the importance of the prevention of prematurity, of proper management of the babies in the maternity hospital, of the conditions of transport and of the choice of the neonatal unit.

An analysis of our newborn cases-admitted from 14 obstetric departments in Vienna and some obstetric departments in Lower Austria and Burgenland soon after birth-points to the fact that prematurity is still the most important risk factor in neonatal mortality. The results show that the prognosis of high-risk newborn infants depends very much on condition in the delivery room following primary resuscitation, the neonatal mortality increases with immaturity, hyaline membrane disease is the most important indication for artificial ventilation of premature infants, 30% of all patients requiring artificial ventilation are fullterm infants; 45% of them suffer from cerebral respiratory dysfunction, the mortality rate in mechanically-ventilated infants could not be significantly decreased over the past years. The consequences are discussed.

Experience has suggested that perinatal outcome for infants transported before delivery is improved over that for infants transported neonatally. This report describes the initial 2 years' experience of the first such program in Louisiana. When compared with infants transported after delivery, those transported before delivery had a slightly better corrected survival rate (90 versus 87%) and a shorter average stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (11.8 versus 21.4 days), but the differences were not statistically significant as measured by the chi2 test.

Both the percentage and total number of fetal referrals have increased. The neonatal mortality among 1061 referred cases (776 neonatal and 285 fetal) was significantly lower among those referred before delivery. Infants surviving after intrauterine transportation required continuous positive airway pressure and intermittent positive pressure ventilation less frequently than did those transported after delivery. There were significantly fewer deaths of infants transported in utero for 3 of 8 categories of mortality risk. Moreover, the length of hospital stay was significantly shorter among infants surviving after in utero transportation than among survivors of neonatal transportation.

During an 18-month period, there were 143 antenatal maternal referrals, 254 antenatal maternal transports, and 506 neonatal transports. Indications for the antenatal referrals were maternal diseases of a chronic nature. This group had a 28.7% incidence of delivery by primary cesarean section, a 15.8% incidence of low-birth weight infants, and a 30.8% incidence of neonatal admissions to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The perinatal mortality rate was 13.7 per thousand which compares favorably with that of low-risk obstetric patients. Indications for the antenatal maternal transports were mainly premature labor and/or premature rupture of the membranes and third-trimester bleeding. There was a 37% incidence of delivery by primary cesarean section and a 71.5% incidence of low-birth weight infants, and 77.4% of the newborn infants were admitted to the NICU. The perinatal mortality rate was 137.4 per thousand live births. Compared to postnatal neonatal transports, the neonates transported antenatally had a slightly higher mortality rate which was not statistically significant. One hundred thirty-one neonates transported antenatally could be matched in sequential order of admission with 131 neonates transported postnatally of comparable birth weights and gestational ages. Although there was a significant increase in the incidence of delivery by cesarean section among the mothers transported antenatally, the neonates in this group had a significantly lower incidence of respiratory distress syndrome and other morbidity and a shorter hospitalization. This study suggests that antenatal referral and transport of high-risk parturient patients to a regional perinatal center may significantly decrease neonatal morbidity and length of hospitalization.

This article has presented the measures that are utilized at one medical center to provide the nursing staff for its NICU. The presentation focused on the organization, selection, and development of a nursing staff that is capable of delivering a sophisticated level of care to sick neonates. However, it should be emphasized that it is essential to be alert to changes in patient therapies and related technology that may well alter the practice of neonatal intensive care nursing.

Each nurse had successfully completed an eight-week didactic and practical educational program in the assessment, management, stabilization, and transport of ill newborns including premature infants, those with various medical and surgical disorders, and those requiring assisted ventilation. Physician supervision and consultation was always available. The overall survival rate for these infants was 81%, a rate similar to that for newborns transported by physicians. The transport nurses consistently demonstrated the ability to effectively assess, manage, stabilize, and transport ill newborns. In addition, their utilization was alleviated a physician shortage on the NICU, has improved the response time to transport requests, and has enhanced educational opportunities for physicians and nurses.

Three hundred sixty patients admitted after presentation with uncomplicated chest pain could be stratified into three risk groups within 24 hours of admission to the ICU. One hundred sixty-eight patients (47 per cent), who were without major complications, elevation of total serum creatine phosphokinase, or electrocardiographic evidence of transmural infarction during the first day, could be designated "low-risk" patients. Three per cent of the low-risk patients subsequently met clinical criteria for infarction, 2 percent had late complications in the ICU, and none died. Rates of infarction, late complications in the ICU, and mortality in the hospital were significantly higher for patients at intermediate and high risk. Identification of low-risk patients for whom early transfer may be routinely indicated is feasible and could reduce by 55 per cent the total number of days that such patients spend in the ICU.

Many hospitals do not even recognize the need for respiratory-care services in this specialty area, and among medical staff there is a certain uneasiness in allowing an unfamiliar paramedical profession (such as respiratory therapy) to enter their well-established realm. Training in ICU care for infants and becoming credentialed in this specialty area is still in its beginnings. Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) is one example of how a respiratory-care department was able to break through the barriers and deliver care to the NICU patients. The background of how this breakthrough actually took place and what role the respiratory therapist first played is discussed, as well as that role's expansion and the progression that has taken place since respiratory care's first involvement.

Significant intrapartum asphyxia occurred in 44% of the infants in whom respiratory distress syndrome developed. Factors placing the pregnancy at high risk were present antenatally in most cases, and most of the deliveries took place in hospitals without adequate facilities or staff, or both, for the requirements of the infant at and following birth.

This approach afforded adequate exposure with minimal surgical time and trauma. All infants manifested severe respiratory distress and congestive heart failure. Both standard and contrast echocardiographic studies were used for noninvasive preoperative evaluation. Echocardiographic study proved to be a highly reliable and sensitive indicator of ductal patency. Eight infants (32 percent) died at 8 to 225 days of age. The primary cause of death was progressive pulmonary disease with subsequent failure of multiple organ systems. Seventeen (68 percent) of the 25 infants survived to leave the hospital. Advantages of ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus in the neonatal intensive care unit include the elimination of problems of transportation (thermoregulation, ventilation, and loss of lines) and continuity of ongoing care and monitoring. The standard facilities of the neonatal intensive care unit proved completely satisfactory for ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus. Ligation in the neonatal intensive care unit is suggested to minimize potential complications of care in the operating room and transport of these critically ill infants.

One such unit, produced by Airborne Life Support Systems, has been tested by the authors. The parameters used to evaluate the system were: (1) temperature stability at 2 degrees C and -28 degrees C ambient; (2) rate of internal temperature fall-off when all power to the unit was interrupted; (3) degree of CO2 accumulation, and (4) internal sound levels. Without heat shield, temperature decrease at 2 degrees C ambient was 12 degrees C/h; with head shield, 2 degrees C/h for the first hour and 0.9 degrees C in the second hour. At -28 degrees C ambient, temperature decrease was 6.1 and 2.2 degrees C/h for the first and second hour, respectively. The rate of temperature fall-off was 15.6 degrees C in 45 min. Average CO2 accumulation was 0.24% after 2 h. Sound level for heater and fan was 16.5 dB. An additional 1 dB of noise was contributed to the system when air and oxygen were turned on.

The present study compares two groups of neonates (suffering from the I.R.D.S.) i.e. a group that had been referred by non specialized transport teams (N S T-group) and a group admitted after institution of the neonatal-transport service (S. T.-group). Significant difference is found in the temperature on admission (S T group greater than N S T group). In the N S T-and the S T-group the need for ventilatory assistance was not significantly different but in the S T-group it was started significantly earlier. Survival after institution of ventilatory assistance and overall-survival are significantly better in the S T-group. These conclusions point to the fact that administering intensive care to sick neonates as early as possible and transportation of this group by means of special "neonatal"-transport services increases their survival rates.

Neonatal mortality was lower for maternal transport than for newborn transport infants in comparable groups of mortality risk (based on birthweight and gestational age), reaching levels of significant difference (P less than .05) for groups of premature infants weighing less than 1500 g and born prior to 34 weeks' gestation. A high-risk maternal transport system developed subsequent to a well established newborn transport and intensive care system broadens the scope of patients afforded neonatal intensive care and further reduces neonatal mortality and morbidity in the region it serves.

Their transport was provided by personnel and equipment from the Montreal Children's Hospital. When the transport team arrived at the referring hospital hypothermia (temperature of less than 36 degrees C) was present in 25.2% of the 163 infants for whom complete temperature measurements were available. Most (77.3%) of the infants were warmed during transport and only 3.1% arrived at the NICU with a temperature of less than 35 degrees C. The mortality was significantly higher in babies of all birth weight groups whose core temperature had been below the optimal temperature for survival (36 to 37 degrees C). It appears that the use of appropriate equipment and trained personnel can reduce the incidence of hypothermia and therefore the mortality in infants requiring transfer.

During a 4-year period ending 1976, after the facilities for intensive care had been introduced, the overall mortality of low birth weight infants (LBWI) was reduced by 44% (from 26% to 14%), whilst the mortality of LBWI born at the Landes-Frauenklinik Linz, which works in close collaboration with the Landeskinderkrankenhaus, went down by 60% (from 24% to 9%). The chances of survival decreased with increasing transportation distance and suboptimum standards of obstetrical care, in spite of intensive treatment after referral. It is suggested that the improved methods of perinatal care applied at the obstetrical and neonatal units are the cause of this remarkable improvement in survival rate of LBWI. These improvements in neonatal survival rate contributed considerably to the 40% decline in infant mortality in Upper Austria from 26.7% in 1973 to 16.2% in 1976..

Most of the sick newborn infants were accompanied by inadequately trained personnel. In a number of cases they were in incubators which could hardly guarantee the neutral thermal temperature for the infant concerned. In the most cases there were no facilities either for resuscitation or for ventilatory assistance during transport. It was found that infants born in the referring hospitals more often required artificial ventilation than infants born in the University Hospital. Since the former were--on an average--more severely ill than the latter, the duration of ventilatory assistance was usually longer and their survival rate was lower. Retrospectively, in many instances referred infants were on admission already in such a condition that artificial ventilation should have been started long before. General aspects of newborn transport, viz. way of transport, incubator with facilities for emergency care i.e. artificial ventilation and intravascular therapy, accompanying personnel, stabilization of the infant, role of education and evaluation of the transport are discussed.

Antenatal transfer of high-risk mothers is necessary but creates potential problems relating to separation from spouse and family. These can be minimized through closer working relationships between family physicians and perinatologists. The family physician has a responsibility to help the perinatal center increase its sensitivity to the needs of families that wish to be more involved in maternal care--even in a high-risk situation. Separation of the sick neonate from mother and family raises a set of similar but more severe problems that can also be modified by active involvement of the family physician with the perinatal team. Awareness of the interactional issues consequent to separation and attachment failures will help the family physician to anticipate and modify these unfortunate consequences of both the high-risk pregnancy itself and the neonate separated from the mother/family.

Although the results of all age groups are shown, the neonatal one is specially considered. All those patients who recovered and were discharged from the hospital were called for revision and the results of those whom attended are shown. The convinience of the regionalisation and hierarchisation of these intensive care units and the necessity of adequately organise the communication and transport of these patients from the peripheral small units to the regional one, is emphasized.

At least half of these infants are referred, and, since 1973, there has been a steady increase in antenatal referrals. In 1975, in utero referrals exceeded neonatal referrals. The entire perinatal population of two referring hospitals was retrospectively evaluated in order to compare neonatal and in utero transfers. The neonatal transfers had higher-than-predicted mortality rate, while the in utero referrals had not only lower-than-predicted mortality rate, but the survivors had a shorter hospital stay. The combined neonatal/perinatal regionalization program resulted in a perinatal mortality rate of eight and 7.6 per 1,000 births in the two hospitals during the study period.

Such surgical intervention may rarely be essential for survival (internal haemorrhage, extradural haematoma), but is almost always an essential factor in the functional and aesthetic result obtained. Thus everything should be combined to fulfill this objective. Picking up of the injured, resuscitation at the site of the accidentation and the quality and appropriate orientation of transport are of obvious importance from this standpoint and it is easy to understand that first efforts must lie here.

The transport of these infants from the delivery room to the neonatal intensive care centre is a complicated procedure and its inherent dangers for the newborn infant increase with distance. Success depends on special transport facilities and the mobile van equipment is described. The results of experience in the transport of 218 newborn infants at risk are discussed. The necessity of initial emergency preparative measures for the transportation of the ill infant is illustrated by 2 cases.

The EMC has two objectives: 1--Emergency treatment before the patient is moved, and the correction of failing vital functions by a medical team skilled in problems of neonates. 2--Transportation of the neonate in a stable condition, to the Intensive Care unit. The quality of such transportation depends closely upon the quality of the medical care given and upon organisation. It can only be carried out in the context of a system coordinated by a "coordinating physician" (e.g. SAMU 94). This coordinating physician has responsibility for logistics, telephone coordination, and application of the call procedure as rapidly as possible. From a logistical point of view, only coordination between:--SAMU-SMUR;--Medical team of the Intensive care unit;--Requesting service make possible the provision and quality of continuous supplies of oxygen, warmth, sugar - all under aseptic conditions, indispensable to the quality of survival of the neonate. In addition, we feel it essential--that the delay before the call is answered be as brief as possible;--that the call should be dealt with by a mixed team, including at least one physician experienced in neonatal problems;--that the choice of vehicle used for transportation should be better adapted to the situation. This choice is the responsibility of the coordinating physician, who should base his decisions on two fundamental requirements:--rapidity of dealing with the call;--personal safety of those involved. This without losing sight of--Prevention of perinatal problems lies part with the detection of high risk pregnancies, with the aim of arranging delivery in specialised "mother and baby" centres where close collaboration between obstetrician and paediatrician is assured.--The development of transportation of the "high-risk" neonate, which is so costly in manpower and equipment, depends closely upon general concepts of health care in France, which should be aimed at:--the prevention of prematury;--the detection of high risk pregnancies;--the development of mother and baby centres.

They were collected by trained staff using a specially modified transport incubator with an in-built mechanical ventilator and facilities for monitoring body temperature, heart rate, and inspired oxygen concentration. Two of the infants came from home and the rest from 41 hospitals from half a mile (0-8 km) to 50 miles (80-5 km) (median eight miles (12-9 km)) away. The mean birth weight of the infants was 1702 g (range 520-4040 g) and their mean gestational age was 32 weeks (range 24-42 weeks). The principal reasons for referral were low birth weight and severe respiratory illnesses. Altogether 109 (49%) of the infants needed mechanical ventilation in transit and another 38 (17%) needed it later. During the journey the condition of 88 (40%) of the infants was thought to improve, in 125 (56%) it was static and in nine (4%)--four of whom died--it deteriorated. A total of 142 infants (64%) survived the neonatal period. There was no correlation between the distance travelled and the survival rate. Seriously ill newborn infants may be transported safely to a referral centre within a radius of 50 miles, and the risks of the journey are negligible compared with the risks of leaving the infant in a hospital that is not staffed or equipped for neonatal intensive care.

The importance of immediate resuscitation for the following therapeutic management is stressed. The modern system of correct and well-organized transport for newborn babies is also described. As to the diagnostic and therapeutic management in the intensive care unit, attention is called to the fact that it does not consist only of artificial respiration; in particular, temperature, blood glucose concentration, blood gas analysis and all vital functions must be constantly controlled. The importance of exact dosage of the administered oxygen during the intensive care of newborn babies is demonstrated. The indications, practical management and complications of artificial respiration are detailed. Finally, the good results which can be achieved in this field, with a significant reduction in mortality of artificially-respirated infants, are shown by the present investigation. Good organization, modern technical equipment and, especially, well-trained staff are indispensable foundations for the successful management of newborn infants requiring intensive care.

One patient a month suffered major cardiorespiratory collapse or death as a direct result of movement. Renewed bleeding of a pelvic fracture, cardiac arrhythmia, cardiac embarrassment due to a haemothorax, and cardiovascular decompensation were seen. It was difficult to continue treatment during movement, especially maintaining an airway or providing adequate intermittent positive pressure ventilation. Seventy postoperative patients suffered few ill effects on being moved. Greater awareness of the dangers of moving critically ill patients within hospital is needed. Thorough preparation for the move and adequate maintenance of treatment during movement requires the skill of experienced medical staff.

We sought to identify essential information elements to be included in an ICU to hospital ward transfer summary tool, and describe tool functionality and composition perceived to be important. AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: A panel of 13 clinicians representing ICU and hospital ward providers used a modified Delphi process to iteratively review and rate unique information elements identified from existing ICU transfer tools through three rounds of review (two remote and one in person). Qualitative content analysis was conducted on transcribed audio recordings of the workshop to characterize tool functionality and composition. AB - RESULTS: A total of 141 unique information elements were reviewed of which 63 were identified by panelists as essential. Qualitative content analyses of panelist discussions identified three themes related to how information elements should be considered when developing an ICU transfer summary tool: 1) Flexibility, 2) Usability, and 3) Accountability. AB - CONCLUSION: We identified 63 distinct information elements identified as essential for inclusion in an ICU transfer summary tool to facilitate communication between providers during the transition of patient care from the ICU to a hospital ward.

The objective of this systematic review of the literature was to answer the question: In children 0 days to 18 years old, who are hospitalized with acute respiratory distress and require critical care transport, is noninvasive ventilation effective and safe during transport? AB - DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE (via Scopus), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, African Index Medicus, Web of Science Citation Index, and the World Health Organization Trials Registry. AB - STUDY SELECTION: Two reviewers independently reviewed all identified studies for eligibility and quality. AB - DATA EXTRACTION: Data were extracted independently by two reviewers using piloted data extraction forms. AB - DATA SYNTHESIS: Data were not synthesized due to nature of studies included. AB - RESULTS: A total of 1,287 records were identified; no randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials were found. Eight observational studies, enrolling 858 patients were included, of these 60.4% were neonatal ICU and 39.6% were nonneonatal ICU patient transports. The mode of noninvasive ventilation during transport was continuous positive airway pressure in seven studies (708 patients) and high-flow nasal cannula in one study (150 patients). During transport on noninvasive ventilation, three of 858 patients (0.4%) required either intubation or escalation of noninvasive ventilation. In the 24 hours following transfer, 63 of 650 children (10%) transferred on noninvasive ventilation were intubated. The odds of intubation within 24 hours were significantly higher for continuous positive airway pressure transfer 60 of 500 (12%) compared with high-flow nasal cannula three of 150 (2%): odds ratio (95% CI) 6.68 (2.40-18.63), p value equals to 0.00003. Minor adverse events occurred in 1-4% of noninvasive ventilation transports. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This review found observational study evidence of a rate of intubation or escalation of 0.4% during noninvasive ventilation transport of children 0-18 years old, with an in-transport adverse event rate of 1-4%. Further studies are required. If randomized trials are not possible, it is suggested that well-conducted observational studies are reported in a more standardized manner.

Methods Data (2010-2014) from the Children's Hospital Neonatal Database and individual chart review for infants <= 32 weeks admitted to a level IV NICU whose maternal residence was outside the metro area were included. Bivariate associations of maternal and infant characteristics with back-transport were estimated using two-sample t tests and Fisher's exact test. Multivariable logistic regression was used to measure independent predictors of back-transport. Clinical stability was defined as the attainment of full volume enteral feedings and low flow nasal cannula. Results A total of 223 infants were eligible for analysis; of whom 26% were back-transported after acute care. In the adjusted analysis, insurance status, distance from maternal residence and gestational age were significantly associated with back-transport. For infants not back-transported closer to maternal residence, median length of stay in the level IV NICU beyond attainment of clinical stability was 28.5 days. Conclusion for Practice Predictors of back-transport include private insurance, greater distance of maternal residence from NICU and younger gestational age. Many preterm infants admitted to a regional NICU for acute care remained hospitalized in a level IV NICU after achieving clinical stability, for which care in a NICU closer to maternal residence may be appropriate.

Knowledge of clinically significant events (CSEs) that occur during these transports is important both to optimize patient safety and also to help enhance crew training and preparedness. This study evaluated a critical care transport program's 5-year longitudinal experience transporting pregnant patients by ground and air, and described CSEs that occurred during the out-of-hospital phase of care. AB - METHODS: This study was a retrospective review of pregnant patients transported by a single critical care transport system into and within a large academic healthcare system. Patients who were pregnant, and were transported from a referring facility to one of the 2 receiving centers within Johns Hopkins Health System between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016 were included in this study. The primary outcome of interest was the occurrence of a predefined clinically significant event (CSE) during transport, while a secondary outcome of interest was the indication for transfer. AB - RESULTS: During the study period 1,223 pregnant patients were transported by our critical care transport service. There were 1,101 patients who met inclusion criteria; 693 (62.9%) of whom were transported by ground and 408 (37.1%) who were transported by rotor wing aircraft. The top 3 indications for transfer comprised 71.4% of all patients and included; preterm labor, hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, and other maternal life threatening disorder. The most common events that occurred across all transports were: exacerbation of hypertensive disease requiring intervention (4.5%), hypotension (1.3%), and altered mental status (0.2%). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of CSEs during the interfacility transport of pregnant patients within our critical care transport system is low (6.0%). Knowledge of the clinically significant events that occur during EMS transport is a vital component of ensuring system quality and optimizing patient safety. This data can be used to augment and focus provider education and training to mitigate and optimize response to future events.

IHTs are associated with serious adverse events (AE) that might pose a risk for secondary brain injury. The goal of this study was to assess IHT-related alterations of cerebral metabolism in ABI patients. AB - METHODS: We included mechanically ventilated patients with ABI who had continuous multimodality neuromonitoring during an 8-h period before and after routine IHT. Intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), brain tissue oxygenation (PtiO₂) as well as cerebral and subcutaneous microdialysis parameters (lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, and glutamate) were recorded. Values were compared between an 8-h period before (pre-IHT) and after (post-IHT) the IHT. AB - RESULTS: A total of 23 IHT for head CT scans in 18 patients were analyzed. Traumatic brain injury (n = 7) was the leading cause of ABI, followed by subarachnoid hemorrhage (n = 6) and intracerebral hemorrhage (n = 5). The analyzed microdialysis parameters in the brain tissue as in the subcutaneous tissue did not show significant changes between the pre-IHT and post-IHT period. In addition, we observed no significant increase in ICP or decrease in CPP and PtiO₂ in the 8-h period after IHT. AB - CONCLUSIONS: While the occurrence of AE during IHT is a known risk factor for ABI patients, our results demonstrate that IHTs do not alter the brain tissue chemistry in a significant manner. This fact may help assess the risk for routine IHT more accurately.

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of interhospital transferring of children requiring intensive care in a Canadian regionalization model. AB - METHODS: A retrospective cohort design with a matched pair analysis was adopted to compare the outcomes in children younger than 17 years admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a Canadian children's hospital by a specialized transport team (pediatric critical care transported [PCCT] group) and those children admitted directly to PICU from its pediatric emergency department (PED group). The outcomes of interest included mortality 72 hours from initial contact with the critical care team (ie, either PICU transport team or intrahospital PICU team). AB - RESULTS: In total, 680 (27%) transports met our inclusion criteria, whereas 866 (7%) cases of 11 570 total PICU admissions were admitted directly from the emergency department. A total of 493 pairs were formed for the matched analyses. Odds of mortality within 72 hours in the PCCT group were significantly higher than in the PED group (odds ratio [OR]: 2.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-4.45; P = .032). When excluding cases who had at least one episode of cardiac arrest before involvement of the pediatric critical care (PCC) transport team, the OR dropped to 1.66 (95% CI: 0.77-3.46). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Children transported from nonpediatric hospitals had a higher 72-hour mortality when compared to those children admitted directly to a children's hospital PICU from its own PED in a Canadian regionalized health-care model.

AB - METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 2013 and February 2016. UNSAFE transfers were defined as unplanned in-hospital ward-to-ICU transfers requiring tracheal intubation, vasoactive medications or >=3 fluid boluses before arrival or in the first 60 min of ICU care. We compared ICU stay duration and mortality between UNSAFE and non-UNSAFE transfers. AB - RESULTS: There were 2126 admissions to the paediatric ICU during the study period, and 244 cases met the definition of an unscheduled in-hospital transfer (11.5%). Of these, the number of patients transferred following cardiopulmonary resuscitation, in the UNSAFE group and in the non-UNSAFE group were 9 (3.7%), 68 (28%) and 167 (68%), respectively. In the UNSAFE group, the number of patients who required tracheal intubation, initiation of vasoactive medications or >= 3 fluid boluses in the first 60 min of ICU care or before arrival in the ICU was 61 (90%), 38 (56%) and 9 (13%), respectively. ICU stay duration and mortality were significantly poorer in the UNSAFE group than in the non-UNSAFE group (9 vs. 4 days, P < 0.0001; 13 vs. 4.2%, odds ratio = 3.5, 95% confidence interval = 1.2-9.8, P = 0.020, respectively). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Patients who experienced UNSAFE transfers had longer ICU stays and higher mortality, and it may be used as a metric of evaluation of effects of rapid response system implementation.

These changes have largely been made for infection control and patient privacy reasons. However, there is limited literature available on how to manage the transition of an ICU from shared room to a single room environment. AB - AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate staff members' perceived effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention to facilitate transition from a shared to a single room setting. AB - METHODS: This qualitative study was conducted in a 20-bed ICU of an Australian tertiary teaching hospital. In total, 24 staff members were interviewed in five groups and five individual interviews 6 months after the ICU relocation. AB - FINDINGS: Three themes emerged from data analysis: (1) facilitating staff members' transition and engagement during relocation planning; (2) simulating new work processes for the single room setting; and (3) supporting nurses working in the single rooms. The components of the intervention, including the change agent, the relocation working party, Assistance, Coordination, Contingency, Education, Supervision, and Support nurse rounding model, and the safe single room model, were perceived as important strategies to support the relocation transition. The regular newsletter and the information dissemination strategy informed by the social networking survey were viewed to improve communication. Staffing levels and education models that are suitable for the single room setting were identified as areas for improvement. AB - DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: A systematic change management approach, clear communication, staff engagement, and continuously monitoring new work processes are important strategies to ensure the success of the relocation. Delivery of education in the clinical area needs to be further explored to ascertain the impact of a single room environment on its delivery. Intervention co-creation involving research team members and the clinical staff was important in building change management capacity, which may contribute to intervention sustainability and continued clinical practice improvement.

Possible differences between patients directly admitted via the emergency department to the intensive care unit (ICU) and inpatient transfers to the ICU have not yet been investigated. AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective analysis, characteristics and outcomes between critically ill medical inpatient transfers and direct admissions with hyperlactatemia on ICU admission, defined as a blood lactate >2mmol/l, were compared. AB - RESULTS: A total of 1042 patients were included, with 424 inpatient transfers and 618 direct admissions. The median age of inpatient transfers and direct admissions was 67.0 and 70.5 years, respectively (P= 0.03). The median APACHE II score was 25 for inpatient transfers and 23 for direct admissions (P= 0.01). The median blood lactate on ICU admission for inpatient transfers and direct admissions was similar (3.6 vs. 3.5mmol/l). Sepsis was more common among inpatient transfers than direct admissions (53.5 vs. 31.6%, P= 0.001). The ICU (39.6 vs. 28.8%, P< 0.001), hospital (56.8 vs. 38.3%, P< 0.001) and 28-day mortality (46.5 vs. 35.4%, P< 0.001) was significantly higher for inpatient transfers than direct admissions. Among the sepsis cohort, inpatient transfer, APACHE II score and elevated blood lactate were independent predictors of ICU mortality. AB - CONCLUSION: Among medical ICU patients with admission hyperlactatemia, the median blood lactate was not significantly different between direct admissions and inpatient referrals. Inpatients with sepsis may have been referred to the ICU late.

Less is known about patient transfers within hospitals, which include but extend beyond the exchange of information. Using participant observations and interviews at a 1,541-bed, academic, tertiary medical center, we explored the ways in which staff define and understand patient transfers between units. We conducted observations of staff (n=16) working in four hospital departments and interviewed staff (n=29) involved in transfers to general medicine floors from either the Emergency Department or the Medical Intensive Care Unit between February and September 2015. The collected data allowed us to understand transfers in the context of several hospital cultural microsystems. Decisions were made through the lens of the specific unit identity to which staff felt they belonged; staff actively strategized to manage workload; and empty beds were treated as a scarce commodity. Staff concepts informed the development of a taxonomy of intra-hospital transfers that includes five categories of activity: disposition, or determining the right floor and bed for the patient; notification to sending and receiving staff of patient assignment, departure and arrival; preparation to send and receive the patient; communication between sending and receiving units; and coordination to ensure that transfer components occur in a timely and seamless manner. This taxonomy widens the study of intra-hospital patient transfers from a communication activity to a complex cultural phenomenon with several categories of activity and views them as part of multidimensional hospital culture, as constructed and understood by staff.

Subjects were divided into 4 age groups: group 1 (<1 year), group 2 (1-3 years), group 3 (4-11 years), and group 4 (>=12 years). Children were also grouped into sepsis or nonsepsis group based on the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision categories. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. AB - RESULTS: Of 3519 children studied, 493 (14%) had sepsis. Initial shock index decreased with increasing age: group 1, 1.45 +/- 0.42 (mean +/- SD); group 2, 1.35 +/- 0.32; group 3, 1.20 +/- 0.34; and group 4, 1.00 +/- 0.32 (P < 0.001). Initial shock index was increased in children with sepsis versus those with no sepsis overall and in all age groups (all P < 0.05). Initial shock index showed a trend for association with survival in univariate analysis (P = 0.05) but was not associated with survival in a multivariable logistic regression. Highest quartile of shock index was associated with need for intensive care unit admission posttransport. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Increased shock index in children requiring intrafacility transport was associated with hospital discharge diagnosis of sepsis but not hospital survival.

However, intraoperative information is often recalled from memory leading to omission of critical data or incomplete information exchange during the patient handoff. We describe the implementation of an electronic anesthesia information transfer tool (T2) for use in the handover of intubated patients to the intensive care unit. A pilot observational study auditing handovers against a pre-existing checklist was performed to evaluate information reporting and attendee participation. There was a modest improvement in information reporting on part of the anesthesia provider, as well as team discussions regarding the current hemodynamic status of the patient. While T2 was well-received, further evaluation of the tool in different handover settings can clarify its potential for decreasing adverse communication-related events.

NJ - Health care management review PI - Journal available in: Print-Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - g11, 7611530 IO - Health Care Manage Rev CP - United States AB - BACKGROUND: Intrahospital patient transports (IHTs) in intensive care involve an appreciable risk of adverse events (AEs). Research on determinants of AE occurrence during IHT has hitherto focused on patient, transport, and intensive care unit (ICU) characteristics. By contrast, the role of "soft" factors, although arguably relevant for IHTs and a topic of interest in general health care settings, has not yet been explored. AB - PURPOSE: The study aims at examining the effect of safety climate and team processes on the occurrence of AE during IHT and whether team processes mediate the effect of safety climate. AB - METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Data stem from a noninterventional, observational multicenter study in 33 ICUs (from 12 European countries), with 858 transports overall recorded during 28 days. AEs include medication errors, dislodgments, equipment failures, and delays. Safety climate scales were taken from the "Patient Safety Climate in Healthcare Organizations" (short version), team processes scales from the "Leiden Operating Theatre and Intensive Care Safety" questionnaire. Patient condition was assessed with NEMS (Nine Equivalents of Nursing Manpower Use Score). All other variables could be directly observed. Hypothesis testing and assessment of effects rely on bivariate correlations and binomial logistic multilevel models (with ICU as random effect). AB - FINDINGS: Both safety climate and team processes are comparatively important determinants of AE occurrence, also when controlling for transport-, staff-, and ICU-related variables. Team processes partially mediate the effect of safety climate. Patient condition and transport duration are consistently related with AE occurrence, too. AB - PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Unlike most patient, transport, and ICU characteristics, safety climate and team processes are basically amenable to managerial interventions. Coupled with their considerable effect on AE occurrence, this makes pertinent endeavors a potentially promising approach for improving patient safety during IHT. Although literature suggests that safety climate is slow and hard to change (also compared to team processes), efforts to improve safety climate should not be forgone.

CP - United States AB - OBJECTIVE: To identify, classify, and describe safety hazards during the process of intrahospital transport of critically ill patients. AB - DESIGN: A prospective observational study. Data from participant observations of the intrahospital transport process were collected over a period of 3 months. AB - SETTING: The study was undertaken at two ICUs in one university hospital. AB - PATIENTS: Critically ill patients transported within the hospital by critical care nurses, unlicensed nurses, and physicians. AB - INTERVENTIONS: None. AB - MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Content analysis was performed using deductive and inductive approaches. We detected a total of 365 safety hazards (median, 7; interquartile range, 4-10) during 51 intrahospital transports of critically ill patients, 80% of whom were mechanically ventilated. The majority of detected safety hazards were assessed as increasing the risk of harm, compromising patient safety (n = 204). Using the System Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety, we identified safety hazards related to the work system, as follows: team (n = 61), tasks (n = 83), tools and technologies (n = 124), environment (n = 48), and organization (n = 49). Inductive analysis provided an in-depth description of those safety hazards, contributing factors, and process-related outcomes. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that intrahospital transport is a hazardous process for critically ill patients. We have identified several factors that may contribute to transport-related adverse events, which will provide the opportunity for the redesign of systems to enhance patient safety.

AB - DESIGN: Single-center cohort. AB - SETTING: A tertiary oncological center. AB - PATIENTS: Patients older than 18 years transferred to our ICU from an outside hospital between January 2013 and December 2015. AB - MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A total of 2127 (90.3%) were emergency department (ED) ICU admissions and 228 (9.7%) out-of-hospital transfers. The ICU length of stay (LOS) was longer in the out-of-hospital transfers when compared to all other ED ICU admissions ( P = .001); however, ICU and hospital mortality were similar between both groups. The majority of patients were transferred for a higher level of care (77.2%); there was no difference in the amount of interventions performed, ICU LOS, and ICU mortality between nonhigher level-of-care and higher level-of-care patients. Factors associated with an ICU LOS >=10days were a higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, weekend admissions, presence of shock, need for mechanical ventilation, and acute kidney injury on admission or during ICU stay ( P < .008). The ICU mortality of transferred patients was 17.5% and associated risk factors were older age, higher SOFA score on admission, use of mechanical ventilation and vasopressors during ICU stay, and renal failure on admission ( P < .0001). Data related to the transfer such as LOS at the outside facility, time of transfer, delay in transfer, and longer distance traveled were not associated with increased LOS or mortality in our study. AB - CONCLUSION: Organ failure severity on admission, and not transfer-related factors, continues to be the best predictor of outcomes of critically ill patients with cancer when transferred from other facilities to the ICU. Our data suggest that transferring critically ill patients with cancer to a specialized center does not lead to worse outcomes or increased resource utilization when compared to patients admitted from the ED.

AB - METHODS: A cross-sectional questionnaire was sent to the 13 medical directors of Canada's pediatric critical care transport teams, and to 2 nonhospital-affiliated transport services. If a children's hospital did not have a dedicated team for pediatric transport, the regional transport team providing this service was identified. AB - RESULTS: Eight of the 13 pediatric intensive care units surveyed have unit-based pediatric transport teams. The median annual transport volume for the 8 hospital-based teams was 371 (range, 45-2300) with a total of 5686 patients being transported annually. Among patients transported by the 8 teams, 45% (2579 patients) were pediatric patients (older than 28 days and younger than 18 years) and 40% (1022 patients) of the pediatric patients were admitted to the pediatric intensive care units. Eighty-eight percent of the responding teams also transported neonates (older than 28 days), and 38% transported premature infants.A team composition of registered nurse-respiratory therapist-physician was used by 6/13 teams (75%); however, it accounted for only a small proportion of the transports for most of the teams (median, 2%; range, 2%-100%).The average transport time from dispatch (from team home site) to arrival at receiving facility was reported by 6 teams, and has a median of 195 minutes (range, 90-360 minutes). The median distance from home site to the farthest referral site in the catchment area was 700 km (range, 15-2500 km). AB - CONCLUSIONS: This is the first Canadian nationwide study of pediatric critical care transport programs. It revealed a complexity and variability in transport team demographics, transport volume, team composition, and decision-making process.

Nearly 200,000 pediatric and neonatal transports occur in the United States each year with some patients requiring tracheal intubation. First-pass intubation rates in both pediatric and adult transport literature are variable as are the factors that influence intubation success. This study sought to determine risk factors for failed tracheal intubation in neonatal and pediatric transport. Methods. A retrospective chart review was performed over a 2.5-year period. Data were collected from a hospital-based neonatal/pediatric critical care transport team that transports 2,500 patients annually, serving 12,000 square miles. Patients were eligible if they were transported and tracheally intubated by the critical care transport team. Patients were categorized into two groups for data analysis: (1) no failed intubation attempts and (2) at least one failed intubation attempt. Data were tabulated using Epi Info Version 3.5.1 and analyzed using SPSSv17.0. Results. A total of 167 patients were eligible for enrollment and were cohorted by age (48% pediatric versus 52% neonatal). Neonates were more likely to require multiple attempts at intubation when compared to the pediatric population (69.6% versus 30.4%, p = 0.001). Use of benzodiazepines and neuromuscular blockade was associated with increased successful first attempt intubation rates (p = 0.001 and 0.008, respectively). Use of opiate premedication was not associated with first-attempt intubation success. The presence of comorbid condition(s) was associated with at least one failed intubation attempt (p = 0.006). Factors identified with increasing odds of at least one intubation failure included, neonatal patients (OR 3.01), tracheal tube size <= 2.5 mm (OR 3.78), use of an uncuffed tracheal tube (OR 6.85), and the presence of a comorbid conditions (OR 2.64). Conclusions. There were higher rates of tracheal intubation failure in transported neonates when compared to pediatric patients. This risk may be related to the lack of benzodiazepine and neuromuscular blocking agents used to facilitate intubation. The presence of a comorbid condition is associated with a higher risk of tracheal intubation failure.

Teams are led by a physician, nurse, and respiratory technician. Current aeromedical guidelines require a hemoglobin (Hgb) of 9 g/dL or greater to evacuate; however, civilians report that an Hgb of 8 g/dL or less is safe in critically ill patients. This study aimed to compare postflight short-term and 30-day patient outcomes for CCATT patients evacuated out of theater with an Hgb of 8 g/dL or less with those with an Hgb of greater than 8 g/dL. AB - METHODS: We conducted a retrospective record review of all traumatically injured patients evacuated from theater by CCATT between March 2007 and December 2011. We recorded demographics, injury descriptions, vital signs, laboratory values, adverse events, and disposition at 30 days. Patients were separated into those with a preflight Hgb of 8 g/dL or less versus those with greater than 8 g/dL. Continuous data were analyzed using Student's t tests or Wilcoxon tests and reported as mean +/- SD. chi or Fisher's exact tests were performed. Stepwise, multifactorial logistic regression models were used. Statistical significance was considered with p < 0.05. AB - RESULTS: Of 1,252 patients, 1,033 had a preflight Hgb of greater than 8 and 219 had an Hgb of 8 or less. Age, sex proportions, vitals, laboratory values, and Injury Severity Score (ISS; 24+/-13) were similar. The group with 8 or less had more blast injuries (68% vs. 76%, p = 0.01). No associations were identified between preflight Hgb levels and adverse outcomes. Disposition at 30 days was similar. We also compared preflight Hgb greater than 7 versus 7 or less (n = 1,212 vs. 45). Those with an Hgb greater than 7 had a greater incidence of hospitalization at 30 days (77% vs. 67%, p = 0.04). The group with an Hgb of 7 or less had more subjects discharged home or returning to duty (10% vs. 21%, p = 0.04). AB - CONCLUSION: Evacuating CCATT patients with an Hgb of 8 or less had similar adverse outcomes and mortality at 30 days compared with those with an Hgb greater than 8. Patients with an Hgb of 7 or less had higher rates of hospital discharge and decreased incidence of hospitalization at 30 days. AB - LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic/epidemiologic study, level III.

This study aimed to measure differences in the clinical progression of preterm newborns using two distinct periods in a university hospital: before and after using underwater bubble continuous positive airway pressure (ubCPAP). This is a retrospective study of VLBW preterm newborns with gestational ages less than or equal to 32 weeks admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The time series was divided into two groups: a pre-CPAP group ( n = 45) and a post-CPAP group ( n = 40). The post-CPAP group had fewer resuscitations, required fewer surfactant doses, spent fewer days on mechanical ventilation, and demonstrated less of a need for fraction of inspired oxygen > 30%. UbCPAP is an easy to use, minimally invasive, and effective ventilatory strategy for VLBW preterm newborns that can be used in environments with limited resources. Thus, adopting this simple strategy as part of a service organization and health policy can positively impact outcomes.

Although most healthcare providers regularly interact with these groups and rely upon their almost ubiquitous availability, few know how these services developed or what sort of infrastructure currently exists to maintain them. This article provides a focused overview of the history and present practices of both emergency medical services and critical care transport teams, with a concentrated look at the implementation of these services in the pediatric population. Within this context, we also consider current challenges and future opportunities for both groups and conclude with ways to become involved in the improvement of out-of-hospital pediatric critical care.

Real-time monitoring can be helpful for preventing these events during intrahospital transport. AB - OBJECTIVE: We attempted to determine the viability of risk signal detection using wearable devices and mobile apps during intrahospital transport. An alarm was sent to clinicians in the event of oxygen saturation below 90%, heart rate above 140 or below 60 beats per minute (bpm), and network errors. We validated the reliability of the risk signal transmitted over the network. AB - METHODS: We used two wearable devices to monitor oxygen saturation and heart rate for 23 patients during intrahospital transport for diagnostic workup or rehabilitation. To determine the agreement between the devices, records collected every 4 seconds were matched and imputation was performed if no records were collected at the same time by both devices. We used intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) to evaluate the relationships between the two devices. AB - RESULTS: Data for 21 patients were delivered to the cloud over LTE, and data for two patients were delivered over Wi-Fi. Monitoring devices were used for 20 patients during intrahospital transport for diagnostic work up and for three patients during rehabilitation. Three patients using supplemental oxygen before the study were included. In our study, the ICC for the heart rate between the two devices was 0.940 (95% CI 0.939-0.942) and that of oxygen saturation was 0.719 (95% CI 0.711-0.727). Systemic error analyzed with Bland-Altman analysis was 0.428 for heart rate and -1.404 for oxygen saturation. During the study, 14 patients had 20 risk signals: nine signals for eight patients with less than 90% oxygen saturation, four for four patients with a heart rate of 60 bpm or less, and seven for five patients due to network error. AB - CONCLUSIONS: We developed a system that notifies the health care provider of the risk level of a patient during transportation using a wearable device and a mobile app. Although there were some problems such as missing values and network errors, this paper is meaningful in that the previously mentioned risk detection system was validated with actual patients.

CP - United States AB - OBJECTIVE: The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems requires transport programs to have operational risk assessment tools that must address issues such as transport acceptance with tools for assessing pilot/driver and crew alertness and fatigue, aviation decision making, and mission acceptance/medical decision making. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact the implementation of this tool has on programmatic operations. AB - METHODS: This hospital-based dedicated pediatric/neonatal transport team has experienced rapid increase in volume as well as an expanding response area. Data related to calls resulting in excessive on-duty time were evaluated for 2 years before and after the implementation of a formal risk assessment program that included duty time assessment. AB - RESULTS: Since the implementation of the duty time assessment tool, there has been a 48% decrease in calls resulting in crews being held over 1 hour past their shift. Additionally, there has been no decline in transport requests, and the resultant increased safety awareness has led to a decreased risk of incidents related to crew and driver fatigue. AB - CONCLUSION: The implementation of a risk assessment tool not only increases crew safety and subsequently patient safety, but also it has no negative impact on referral pattern or volume.

Intensive care unit (ICU) patients have complex medical and social issues which increases the risk of errors during ongoing hospital treatment. Our project team of four doctors and two nurses aimed to improve the documentation of patient problems as they leave the ICU. A literature review and process mapping of both medical and nursing transfer documentation helped in understanding the current process. Current problems (CP) were defined as any patient issues which require ongoing thought, management or follow-up. Our progress was tracked using a measure of the number of CPs listed in the free-text field titled 'Current Problems' in 50 medical transfer documents. This was graphed on a control chart showing a process in statistical control. Means and control limits were recalculated whenever a process shift occurred. There was no relationship between the number of CPs listed and length of ICU stay, age of patient, or severity of illness on presentation (Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation II score). An inter-relationship graph identified the key drivers which were amenable to change: (1) the doctors completing the clinical summary at the time of discharge did not have all the information readily available to them and (2) the doctors were uncertain of the types of problem which should be communicated. Improvements were designed and trialled using Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles to address these two key drivers. At baseline, the average number of CPs per patient was 1.8. After implementation of a paper problem list at the patient bedside, with supporting education, the average increased to 2.7. This was further improved by the addition of a checklist of common patient problems. This increased the average to 3.85. These improvements were permanently implemented and ongoing audits have shown sustained improvement using statistical process control methods. CI - Competing interests: None declared.

The aim of this study was to investigate prognosis and to identify factors contributing to mortality of critically ill patients with respiratory problems who were directly transferred to intensive care units (ICU) from LTCHs. AB - METHODS: Following a retrospective review of clinical data and radiographic findings between July 2009 and September 2016, we included 111 patients with respiratory problems who had visited the emergency room (ER) transferred from LTCHs due to respiratory symptoms and who were then admitted to the ICU. AB - RESULTS: The mean age of the 111 patients was 79 years, and 71 patients (64%) were male. Pneumonia developed in 98 patients (88.3%), pulmonary thromboembolism in 4 (3.6%) and pulmonary tuberculosis in 3 (2.7%). Overall mortality was 19.8% (22/111). Multiple-drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens (odds ratio [OR], 17.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.96-155.40) and serum albumin levels < 2.15 g/dL, which were derived through ROC (sensitivity, 72.7%; specificity, 85.4%) (OR, 28.05; 95% CI, 5.47-143.75), were independent predictors for mortality. The need for invasive ventilation (OR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.02-7.32) and history of antibiotic use within the 3 months (OR, 3.23; 95% CI, 1.32-7.90) were risk factors for harboring MDR pathogens. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The presence of MDR pathogens and having low serum albumin levels may be poor prognostic factors in patients with respiratory problems who are admitted to the ICU from LTCHs. A history of antibiotic use within the 3 months and the need for invasive ventilation can be helpful in choosing the appropriate antibiotics to combat MDR pathogens at the time of admission.

It has been reported that these biomarkers can be used to indicate increased risk of mortality in critically ill patients. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the effects of the initial serum GGT and UA levels on the outcomes of patients in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and to investigate if these biomarkers can be used to predict pediatric mortality. Materials and Methods: The relationship between the initial GGT and UA levels and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) support, inotropic drug need, acute renal kidney injury (AKI), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), presence of sepsis, mortality, and hospitalization period were investigated retrospectively. Results: In all, 236 patients (117 males and 119 females) were included in the study. The age distribution of the patients was 1-12 years. There was a statistically significant relationship between GGT levels in the first biochemical analysis performed during admission and inotropic drug use, AKI, duration of hospitalization in intensive care unit, and sepsis. There was a statistically significant relationship between initial UA levels and inotropic drug use, AKI, CCRT, and sepsis. Conclusion: We suggest that initial GGT and UA levels during admission could be used to predict the outcomes of patients in PICU.

CP - England KW - Antimicrobial resistance; Colonization; Imipenem; Infection; Intensive care unit; Pseudomonas aeruginosa AB - BACKGROUND: To assess the impact of the incidental relocation of an intensive care unit (ICU) on the risk of colonizations/infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibiting OprD-mediated resistance to imipenem (PA-OprD). AB - AIM: The primary aim was to compare the proportion of PA-OprD among P. aeruginosa samples before and after an incidental relocation of the ICU. The role of tap water as a route of contamination for colonization/infection of patients with PA-OprD was assessed as a secondary aim. AB - METHODS: A single-centre, observational, before/after comparison study was conducted from October 2013 to October 2015. The ICU was relocated at the end of October 2014. All P. aeruginosa-positive samples isolated from patients hospitalized >=48 h in the ICU were included. Tap water specimens were collected every three months in the ICU. PA-OprD strains isolated from patients and tap water were genotyped using pulse-field gel electrophoresis. AB - FINDINGS: A total of 139 clinical specimens of P. aeruginosa and 19 tap water samples were analysed. The proportion of PA-OprD strains decreased significantly from 31% to 7.7% after the relocation of the ICU (P = 0.004). All PA-OprD clinical specimens had a distinct genotype. Surprisingly, tap water was colonized with a single PA-OprD strain during both periods, but this single clone has never been isolated from clinical specimens. AB - CONCLUSION: Relocation of the ICU was associated with a marked decrease in P. aeruginosa strains resistant to imipenem. The polyclonal character of PA-OprD strains isolated from patients and the absence of tap-water-to-patient contamination highlight the complexity of the environmental impact on the endogenous colonization/infection with P. aeruginosa.

Nonpharmacologic interventions, including early breastfeeding and skin-to-skin care (SSC), may prevent hypoglycemia and the need to escalate care. Our objective was to maintain mother-infant dyads in the mother-infant unit by decreasing hypoglycemia resulting in NICU transfer. AB - METHODS: Inborn infants >=35 weeks' gestation with at least 1 risk factor for hypoglycemia were included. Using quality-improvement methodology, a bundle for at-risk infants was implemented, which included a protocol change focusing on early SSC, early feeding, and obtaining a blood glucose measurement in asymptomatic infants at 90 minutes. The primary outcome was the overall transfer rate of at-risk infants to the NICU. Secondary outcomes were related to protocol adherence. Balancing measures, including the rate of symptomatic hypoglycemia and sepsis evaluations, were monitored. Statistical process control charts using standard interpretation rules were used to monitor for improvement in key aims. AB - RESULTS: For infants at risk for hypoglycemia, the NICU transfer rate decreased from 17% to 3% overall. Documented early feeding and SSC in at-risk newborns increased. The percent of at-risk infants transferred to the NICU who did not require intravenous dextrose decreased from 5% at baseline to 0.7% after intervention. There were no adverse outcomes observed in the period before or after the intervention. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of a quality-improvement intervention promoting SSC and early feeding in at-risk infants was associated with a decreased rate of transfer to the NICU for hypoglycemia.

In this study, we aim to investigate the characteristics of RTs and the impact RTs have on patient outcomes, including PICU length of stay (LOS), mortality, and emergency transfer defined as critical care interventions occurring within 1 hour on either side of transfer to the PICU. AB - METHODS: We conducted a 2-year, single-center, retrospective analysis including all patients admitted to the general care floor of a tertiary children's hospital that were subsequently transferred to the PICU, with attention to those transferred within 4 hours of admission, meeting criteria as RTs. Patient-level data and outcomes were tracked. Statistical summaries were stratified by RT or non-RT strata and between-strata comparisons were performed. Significant univariate factors were entered into a multivariate logistic regression model and reduced with statistical significance required for final model inclusion. AB - RESULTS: Of 450 patients with an unplanned PICU transfer, 105 (23.3%) experienced RTs. Significant factors in the reduced multivariate logistic regression model associated with decreased risk for RT were increased baseline Pediatric Overall Performance Category (P = .046) and PICU origin of admission (P = .012). RT patients had shorter PICU LOSs (2.8 vs 5.5 days, P < .001) compared with non-RT patients despite a higher rate of emergency transfer (15.2% vs 7.5%, P = .018) and no difference in mortality (P = .741). AB - CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we demonstrate RTs have an increase in emergency transfer rate but no apparent risk of increased PICU LOS or mortality.

Because of this, frequent transport of critical care patients is necessary. In most circumstances, regular ambulance transport is used, either with or without an accompanying physician. In some cases, a mobile intensive care unit (MICU) can be deployed. However, the MICU is not 24/7 operational in our area and significant waiting times can occur. Additionally, space and resources in a regular ambulance are limited. We have therefore developed a new protocol, covering the transport of critical care patients. In this, we use a special trolley with built-in advanced devices, such as a respiratory apparatus, in combination with an adapted ambulance. By using this protocol we minimize time loss and guarantee safe and patient-centred transport.

AB - BACKGROUND: Specialty care units result in reactionary bed management. Changes in acuity generate costly, disruptive, intra-hospital patient transfers, which negatively affect clinical outcomes while increasing nurse workload. The acuity adaptable care model is a universal bed model structured to support patients in one room while providing staff, equipment and other resources across varying levels of acuity. AB - METHOD: Qualitative descriptive methods were used to analyse the narratives of a purposive sample of patients and family members about receiving care in an acuity adaptable care delivery model. AB - RESULTS: Three content areas emerged from the narratives and were categorized as feeling safe, perceiving continuity of care and valuing family, which culminated in a sense of comfort and healing while in the hospital. AB - CONCLUSION: By bringing care services to the patient instead of taking the patient to the services, the acuity adaptable care model facilitated a perception of a healing environment for patients and family members. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The acuity adaptable care model should be considered when hospital facilities are undergoing major renovation or replacement.

Shortcomings in the delivery of care for patients transferred from the ICU have been associated with higher healthcare costs and poor satisfaction with care. Little is known about how hospital ward providers, who accept care of these patients, perceive current transfer practices nor which aspects of transfer they perceive as needing improvement. AB - OBJECTIVE: To compare ICU and ward administrator perspectives regarding ICU-to-ward transfer practices and evaluate the content of transfer tools. AB - DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey design. AB - PARTICIPANTS: We administered a survey to 128 medical and/or surgical ICU and 256 ward administrators to obtain institutional perspectives on ICU transfer practices. We performed qualitative content analysis on ICU transfer tools received from respondents. AB - KEY RESULTS: In total, 108 (77%) ICU and 160 (63%) ward administrators responded to the survey. The ICU attending physician was reported to be "primarily responsible" for the safety (93% vs. 91%; p = 0.515) of patient transfers. ICU administrators more commonly perceived discharge summaries to be routinely included in patient transfers than ward administrators (81% vs. 60%; p = 0.006). Both groups identified information provided to patients/families, patient/family participation during transfer, and ICU-ward collaboration as opportunities for improvement. A minority of hospitals used ICU-to-ward transfer tools (11%) of which most (n = 21 unique) were designed to communicate patient information between providers (71%) and comprised six categories of information: demographics, patient clinical course, corrective aids, mobility at discharge, review of systems, and documentation of transfer procedures.

Patient safety concerns were raised within our institution during such transfers, and absence of a standardized patient handoff process was identified as an area of concern. AB - METHODS: The current state of the patient transfer processes between the intensive care units (ICUs) and the operating rooms (ORs) was mapped and failure modes were identified. A multidisciplinary team was convened and a standardized handoff process and tool (checklist) was developed. Adherence to the process and care team satisfaction was assessed at the end of a 60-day pilot period. AB - RESULTS: The process was successfully implemented hospital-wide covering all adult and pediatric ICUs. We observed a 90% compliance rate with ICU to the OR transfers and 95% compliance rate with transfers from OR to the ICU during the 60-day pilot period. The care team expressed overall satisfaction with the process and identified potential areas of improvement. AB - CONCLUSION: A standardized patient handoff process between the ICU and the ORs can be successfully implemented in a large academic medical center. Universal application of this quality improvement tool can reduce patient harm, improve communication between providers, and enhance patient safety.

Failed TI attempts, however, can harm patients. Critical care transport (CCT) teams function as the first point of critical care contact for patients being transported to tertiary medical centers for specialized surgical, medical, and trauma care. The Ground and Air Medical qUality in Transport (GAMUT) Quality Improvement Collaborative uses a quality metric database to track CCT quality metric performance, including TI. We sought to describe TI among GAMUT participants with the hypothesis that CCT would perform better than other prehospital TI reports and similarly to hospital TI success. AB - METHODS: The GAMUT Database is a global, voluntary database for tracking consensus quality metric performance among CCT programs performing neonatal, pediatric, and adult transports. The TI-specific quality metrics are "first attempt TI success" and "definitive airway sans hypoxia/hypotension on first attempt (DASH-1A)." The 2015 GAMUT Database was queried and analysis included patient age, program type, and intubation success rate. Analysis included simple statistics and Pearson chi-square with Bonferroni-adjusted post hoc z tests (significance = p < 0.05 via two-sided testing). AB - RESULTS: Overall, 85,704 patient contacts (neonatal n [%] = 12,664 [14.8%], pediatric n [%] = 28,992 [33.8%], adult n [%] = 44,048 [51.4%]) were included, with 4,036 (4.7%) TI attempts. First attempt TI success was lowest in neonates (59.3%, 617 attempts), better in pediatrics (81.7%, 519 attempts), and best in adults (87%, 2900 attempts), p < 0.001. Adult-focused CCT teams had higher overall first attempt TI success versus pediatric- and neonatal-focused teams (86.9% vs. 63.5%, p < 0.001) and also in pediatric first attempt TI success (86.5% vs. 75.3%, p < 0.001). DASH-1A rates were lower across all patient types (neonatal = 51.9%, pediatric = 74.3%, adult = 79.8%). AB - CONCLUSIONS: CCT TI is not uncommon, and rates of TI and DASH-1A success are higher in adult patients and adult-focused CCT teams. TI success rates are higher in CCT than other prehospital settings, but lower than in-hospital success TI rates. Identifying factors influencing TI success among high performers should influence best practice strategies for TI.

However, these models are disease-nonspecific and have shown variable accuracy in predicting unexpected critical events. Here, we propose a simpler and more accurate method for predicting risk in respiratory ward patients. This retrospective study analyzed adult patients who were admitted to the respiratory ward and detected using the rapid response system (RRS). Study outcomes included transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU) within 24 hours after RRS activation and in-hospital mortality. Prediction power of existing EWS models including Modified EWS (MEWS), National EWS (NEWS), and VitalPAC EWS (ViEWS) and SpO2/FiO2 (SF) ratio were compared to each other using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Overall, 456 patients were included; median age was 75 years (interquartile range: 65-80) and 344 (75.4%) were male. Seventy-three (16.0%) and 79 (17.3%) patients were transferred to the ICU and died. The SF ratio displayed better or comparable predictive accuracy for unexpected ICU transfer (AUROC: 0.744) compared to MEWS (0.744 vs. 0.653, P = 0.03), NEWS (0.744 vs. 0.667, P = 0.04), and ViEWS (0.744 vs. 0.675, P = 0.06). For in-hospital mortality, although there was no statistical difference, the AUROC of the SF ratio (0.660) was higher than that of each of the preexisting EWS models. In comparison with the preexisting EWS models, the SF ratio showed better or comparable predictive accuracy for unexpected ICU transfers in the respiratory wards.

CP - United States AB - OBJECTIVE: Patient safety events (PSEs) occurring during interfacility transport have not been studied comprehensively in critical care transport (CCT) teams in the United States. The purpose of this research was to investigate the type and frequency of PSEs during CCT between hospitals; to explore the impact of patient stability, vulnerability, complexity, predictability, and resiliency; and to examine if the nurse factors of licensure or experience and transport factors of duration or mode of transport influence the frequency of PSEs. The study was conducted at a large hospital-based quaternary health care system in the Midwestern United States. AB - METHODS: This was a retrospective, descriptive correlational study using chart review. The study selected 50 sequential qualifying cases with PSEs and randomly selected control cases reviewed at a single site over a 5-month period. AB - RESULTS: The rate of PSEs was 27.7 events per 1,000 patient contacts. Of 9 reported adverse event types, new or recurrent hypoxia had the greatest frequency. Hypoxia, when present at the time of initial CCT contact, was associated with the PSE occurrence (P = .046). Duration of transport was a significant predictor of PSEs (P = .025). AB - CONCLUSION: Pretransport hypoxia and duration of transport are independent predictors for intratransport PSEs, particularly intratransport hypoxia.

AB - AIMS: The main objectives of our study are: first to determine the incidence of complications during intra hospital transports (IHT) of critically ill patients, and second, to determine their risk factors. AB - METHODS: All intra hospital transports for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes of patients consecutively admitted in an 18-bed medical surgical intensive care unit in an university hospital, have been studied prospectively during a period of six months (September 1st 2012 to February 28th 2013). AB - RESULTS: Of 184 transports observed (164 patients), 85 (46.2%) were associated with mishaps. Eighty two mishaps were patient-related (44.5%).Oxygen desaturation (30 cases), agitation (24 cases) and hemodynamic instability (15 cases) were predominantly. One case of cardiac arrest and 3 cases of accidental extubation were occurred during IHT. Seventy three systems-based mishaps were noted (39.6%). Emergency transports, mechanical ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) >= 6 cmH2O were independent risk factors for a higher rate of mishaps. In our study, complications did not statistically increase ventilator-associated pneumonia. AB - CONCLUSION: This study confirms that IHT of critically-ill patients still involves considerable risks and mishaps incidence remains high.

We assessed patient and provider perspectives on barriers and facilitators to high-quality transfers and recommendations to improve the transfer process. AB - METHODS: We conducted semistructured interviews of participants from a multicentre prospective cohort study of ICU transfers conducted at 10 hospitals across Canada. We purposively sampled 1 patient, 1 family member of a patient, 1 ICU provider, and 1 ward provider at each of the 8 English-speaking sites. Qualitative content analysis was used to derive themes, subthemes and recommendations. AB - RESULTS: The 35 participants described 3 interrelated, overarching themes perceived as barriers or facilitators to high-quality patient transfers: resource availability, communication and institutional culture. Common recommendations suggested to improve ICU transfers included implementing standardized communication tools that streamline provider-provider and provider-patient communication, using multimodal communication to facilitate timely, accurate, durable and mutually reinforcing information transfer; and developing procedures to manage delays in transfer to ensure continuity of care for patients in the ICU waiting for a hospital ward bed. AB - INTERPRETATION: Patient and provider perspectives attribute breakdown of ICU-to-ward transfers of care to resource availability, communication and institutional culture. Patients and providers recommend standardized, multimodal communication and transfer procedures to improve quality of care. Copyright © 2018 Joule Inc. or its licensors.

Care Med. CP - United States AB - OBJECTIVES: We describe the importance of interprofessional care in modern critical care medicine. This review highlights the essential roles played by specific members of the interprofessional care team, including patients and family members, and discusses quality improvement initiatives that require interprofessional collaboration for success. AB - DATA SOURCES: Studies were identified through MEDLINE search using a variety of search phrases related to interprofessional care, critical care provider types, and quality improvement initiatives. Additional articles were identified through a review of the reference lists of identified articles. AB - STUDY SELECTION: Original articles, review articles, and systematic reviews were considered. AB - DATA EXTRACTION: Manuscripts were selected for inclusion based on expert opinion of well-designed or key studies and review articles. AB - DATA SYNTHESIS: "Interprofessional care" refers to care provided by a team of healthcare professionals with overlapping expertise and an appreciation for the unique contribution of other team members as partners in achieving a common goal. A robust body of data supports improvement in patient-level outcomes when care is provided by an interprofessional team. Critical care nurses, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, respiratory care practitioners, rehabilitation specialists, dieticians, social workers, case managers, spiritual care providers, intensivists, and nonintensivist physicians each provide unique expertise and perspectives to patient care, and therefore play an important role in a team that must address the diverse needs of patients and families in the ICU. Engaging patients and families as partners in their healthcare is also critical. Many important ICU quality improvement initiatives require an interprofessional approach, including Awakening and Breathing Coordination, Delirium, Early Exercise/Mobility, and Family Empowerment bundle implementation, interprofessional rounding practices, unit-based quality improvement initiatives, Patient and Family Advisory Councils, end-of-life care, coordinated sedation awakening and spontaneous breathing trials, intrahospital transport, and transitions of care. AB - CONCLUSIONS: A robust body of evidence supports an interprofessional approach as a key component in the provision of high-quality critical care to patients of increasing complexity and with increasingly diverse needs.

Patients in critical condition now are transported great distances to receive potentially lifesaving treatment and interventions. Modes of critical care transport include ambulances, helicopters, and airplanes. Critical care transport teams consist of highly skilled paramedics, registered nurses, respiratory therapists, nurse practitioners, and physicians. Many patient populations benefit from transfer to a higher level of care via critical care transport, including patients who suffer acute neurologic insult such as spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage and ischemic stroke.

This study aims to describe the contemporary transports performed by a Canadian pediatric critical care transport team and to compare the treatment and outcomes of children referred from high-level care (hospitals offering pediatric services where an adult ICU exists) and nonhigh-level care (all other hospitals) hospitals. AB - DESIGN: A descriptive cohort study. AB - SETTING: The Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Western Canada. AB - PATIENTS: Children younger than 17 years old transported by the transport team from referral hospitals within the Stollery Children's Hospital catchment area to Stollery Children's Hospital between 1998 and 2015. AB - INTERVENTIONS: None. AB - MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Characteristics of transports, patient demographics presenting vital signs, and outcomes were described overall and compared by transport-related time and referral hospital types (high-level care and nonhigh-level care). In total, 3,352 transports met the inclusion criteria; 1,049 were retrieved from eight high-level care hospitals and 2,303 from 53 nonhigh-level care hospitals; the median one-way transport distance was 383 kilometers, and 70% of the transports were air transports. The annual number of transports has increased during the study period. The PICU admission rate was between 40% and 55%. Transports from high-level care hospitals had significantly higher odds of being admitted to the PICU (odds ratio, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.31-2.93). The odds of intubation at the referral hospital were higher in the high-level care group, but the odds of intubation upon PICU admission was similar between the two groups. Mortality during or after transport was not significantly different between high-level care and nonhigh-level care hospitals. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The current transport system has multiple priorities with regard to efficiency and quality. The medical services at referral hospitals may affect the likelihood of PICU admission and subsequent PICU length of stay; however, no negative impact was observed in other outcomes including mortality.

Although many studies have evaluated prognostic risk factors for MRSA colonisation on patient admission to an acute care setting, a comprehensive review of all the prognostic risk factors was not identified in a preliminary search of the literature. AB - OBJECTIVES: A systematic review was performed to identify and evaluate the association between risk factors and MRSA colonisation. AB - INCLUSION CRITERIA: Studies that included all adult patients on admission in acute care settings were considered in this review.All independent risk factors of MRSA colonisation were analysed in this review.Cohort and case-control studies are main designs associated identifying the independent risk factors for MRSA colonisation.The primary outcome of interest was presence and absence of MRSA on admission, and then independent risk factors associated with MRSA colonisation on admission were identified. AB - SEARCH STRATEGY: MEDLINE, EMABSE, and CINAHL databases were searched for prognostic studies published between 1990 and 2010 that examined the association between risk factors and MRSA colonisation. The search included both published and unpublished studies written in the English language. AB - METHODOLOGICAL QUALITY: Included studies were assessed using a standardised critical appraisal instrument that was developed for prognostic studies in infection control field. AB - DATA COLLECTION: Data were collected from included papers in the review using the standardised data extraction tool from the JBI SUMARI Program; and the data extraction form was modified based on the characteristics of prognostic studies for infection control. AB - DATA SYNTHESIS: All risk factors in included studies were aggregated depending on their clinical characteristics. Data of any aggregated factors was pooled into meta-analysis based on univariate estimates and multivariate estimates separately when more than two groups of data in selected studies were available. AB - RESULTS: Fifteen prospective studies, including a total 16,467 patients, were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analyses. More than 30 independent risk factors were identified and aggregated. The risk factors associated with MRSA colonisation in the meta-analyses include hospitalisation within the last 24 months, previous admission to a long-term care facility (LTCF) or a rehabilitation facility within the last 18 months, antibiotic use within the past 12 months, the presence of skin lesion, surgical intervention within the last 60 months, indwelling urinary catheter, intensive care unit (ICU) admission in the last 5 years, previous MRSA colonisation, intra-hospital transfer, male sex, comorbidity of chronic health evaluation class C or D, and the presence of fatal illness. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The identification of risk factors for MRSA colonisation on admission may contribute to improved effectiveness and efficiency of current MRSA prevention strategies and control MRSA spread and acquisition in acute care settings. The outcomes of this review may facilitate prediction model development to quickly identify potential MRSA carriers before admission.

AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: Children transported to a Canadian academic children's hospital were included. Two eras (Physician-accompanying Transport (PT)-era: 2000-07 when physicians commonly accompanied the transport team; and Physician-Less Transport (PLT)-era: 2010-15 when a physician non-accompanying team was increasingly used) were compared with respect to transport and PICU outcomes. Transport and patient characteristics for the PLT-era cohort were examined to identify factors associated with the selection of a physician accompanying team, with multivariable logistic regression with triage physicians as random effects. AB - RESULTS: In the PLT-era (N=1177), compared to the PT-era (N=1490) the probability of PICU admission was significantly lower, and patient outcomes including mortality were not significantly different. Associations were noted between the selection of a physician non-accompanying team and specific transport characteristics. There was appreciable variability among the triage physicians for the selection of a physician non-accompanying team. AB - CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences were observed with increasing use of a physician non-accompanying team. Selection of transport team compositions was influenced by clinical and system factors, but appreciable variation still remained among triage physicians. Crown Copyright © 2018.

Studies examining the transfer experience for infants, children or psychiatric patients were excluded from this review.Search strategy The search strategy sought to find both published and unpublished studies and papers limited to the English language. An initial limited search of MEDLINE and CINAHL was undertaken followed by an analysis of text words contained in the title and abstract, and of index terms to describe the article. A second extensive search was then undertaken using identified key words and index terms.Methodological quality Each paper was assessed by two independent reviewers for quality prior to inclusion in the review using the Joanna Briggs Critical Appraisal Tools for experimental, cohort, descriptive, qualitative and expert text papers. Disagreements were discussed and resolved among the reviewers without needing to rely on a third reviewer.Data collection Information was extracted from each paper independently by two reviewers using the JBI extraction tools for quantitiative, qualitaitive and expert opinion papers and narrative table summaries were prepared.Data synthesis Data synthesis aimed to portray an accurate interpretation and synthesis of concepts arising from the experiences of patients and families transferring out of ICU and the nurses on the receiving and sending ends of the transfer.Results A total of 35 studies were identified and of those 25 were included in the review consisting of 15 qualitative studies, 9 quantitative studies and 1 clinical practice guideline. Qualitative papers were analyzed using JBI-QARI and involved categorizing findings and developing synthesized topics from the categories. Three syntheses were developed related to response to transfer, meaning of transfer, and strategies to facilitate successful transfer. Quantitative data could not be pooled and is presented in the narrative table.Conclusion For most, transfer to the general unit was not a traumatic or negative experience but viewed positively as a sign of recovery and sometimes the positive emotions coexisted with uncertainty or fear. The most negative experience was related to lack of observation and care on the general unit where nurses many times were unaware or unresponsive to functional deficits that the patients required assistance with. Patients were consequently challenged to do more for themselves and depending on their success or progress with independence resulted in growing confidence or frustration and embarrassment. The systems of care were not structured to effectively deal with the complex ICU transfer patient.Implications for practice Specific practice recommendations are made for pretransfer from ICU, system improvements to facilitate transfer and posttransfer care while on the general unit.Implications for research Additional research is needed to confirm the frequency of negative relocation stress, test efficacy of direct interventions and explore the meaning of transfer for family members.

Nurses must facilitate the required diagnostic testing and simultaneously provide the surveillance necessary to detect physiologic changes signaling the need for rescue interventions. When instability occurs, one method of rescue involves activation of a Medical Emergency Team (MET) to bring an experienced cadre of critical care providers to the unstable patient. Despite recognition that the RD can be a high risk area, there is little in the literature specific to the surveillance of RD patients, risk for and prevention of adverse events, MET activation or the management of patient instability specific to the RD. The purpose of this paper is to examine what is known regarding risk for adverse events during intrahospital transport, utilization of a MET as a rescue intervention, and practice implications.

CP - United States AB - OBJECTIVE: Specialty pediatric transport teams are widely used for pediatric interfacility transport in the United States, with little industry consensus on optimal team configuration. The aim of this study is to assess the quality of the nurse/paramedic specialty team configuration as indirectly measured by the rate of adverse events in these transports. AB - METHODS: Retrospective analysis of pediatric transport data from a hospital-based dedicated pediatric/neonatal transport team was conducted for patients transported in 2016. Data were categorized by general characteristics of transport and analyzed for the occurrence of adverse events. AB - RESULTS: Five hundred sixty-four cases were analyzed. Cases were described by team configuration and then by transport mode, duration, time, patient age and acuity, and disposition. The overall rate of adverse event incidence was 8.3%, chiefly centered in device and process domains. There was no significant difference in the rate of adverse events between team configurations. AB - CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in the rate of adverse event occurrence in nurse/paramedic team configurations versus nurse/nurse configuration. Using critical care paramedics on pediatric transport teams enables a larger volume of patients to be transported to definitive care without concerns for decrease in quality or safety.

To solve this problem, the authors developed medical equipment attached to a transfer board ("transfer board tree") that integrates the patient, transfer board, and medical equipment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of the transfer board tree. AB - Methods: Forty mechanically ventilated patients (20 transfer board tree, 20 conventional) in the intensive care unit who were transported for computed tomography were enrolled. Transfer times and adverse events were recorded. AB - Results: Transfer board tree patients had significantly shorter transfer times. There were two adverse events only in the conventional group. AB - Conclusions: The transfer board tree enables rapid intrahospital transport of intensive care patients with sufficient monitoring.

Since increased transport time increases the risks of complications, reducing transport time is important for patient safety. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of our newly invented device, the Easy Tube Arrange Device (ETAD), to reduce transport time for CT evaluation in cases of critical illness. AB - METHODS: This prospective randomized control study included 60 volunteers. Each participant arranged five or six intravenous fluid lines, monitoring lines (noninvasive blood pressure, electrocardiography, central venous pressure, arterial catheter), and therapeutic equipment (O2 supply device, Foley catheter) on a Resusci Anne mannequin. We measured transport time for the CT evaluation by using conventional and ETAD method. AB - RESULTS: The median transport time for CT evaluation was 488.50 seconds (95% confidence interval [CI], 462.75 to 514.75) and, 503.50 seconds (95% CI, 489.50 to 526.75) with 5 and 6 fluid lines using the conventional method and 364.50 seconds (95% CI, 335.00 to 388.75), and 363.50 seconds (95% CI, 331.75 to 377.75) with ETAD (all P<0.001). The time differences were 131.50 (95% CI, 89.25 to 174.50) and 148.00 (95% CI, 116.00 to 177.75) (all P<0.001). AB - CONCLUSION: The transport time for CT evaluation was reduced using the ETAD, which would be expected to reduce the complications that may occur during transport in cases of critical illness.

However, neonatal thermal care guidelines applicable to intra-hospital transport beyond the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and during surgery or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are lacking. The aim of this study is to determine the proportion of infants normothermic (36.5-37.5degreeC) on return to NICU after management during surgery and MRI, and during standard clinical care in both environments. AB - METHODS: Sixty-two newborns requiring either surgery in the operating theatre (OT) (n=41) or an MRI scan (n=21) at the Royal Children's Hospital (Melbourne) NICU were prospectively studied. Core temperature, along with cardiorespiratory parameters, was continuously measured from 15min prior to leaving the NICU until 60min after returning. Passive and active warming (intra-operatively) was at clinician discretion. AB - RESULTS: The study reported 90% of infants were normothermic before leaving NICU: 86% (MRI) and 93% (OT). Only 52% of infants were normothermic on return to NICU (relative risk (RR) 1.75; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.39-2.31; number needed to harm (NNH) 2.6). Between departure from the NICU and commencement of surgery, core temperature decreased by mean 0.81degreeC (95% CI 0.30-1.33; P=0.0001, analysis of variance), with only 24% of infants normothermic when surgery began (P<0.0001; RR 3.80 (95% CI 2.33-6.74); NNH 1.5). After an MRI, infants were a mean 0.41degreeC (95% CI 0.16-0.67) colder than immediately before entering the scanner (P=0.001, analysis of variance), with only 43% being normothermic (P=0.003; RR 2.11 (95% CI 1.35-3.74); NNH 2.1). AB - CONCLUSION: Unintentional hypothermia is a common occurrence during surgery in the OT and MRI in neonates, indicating that evidence-based warming strategies to prevent hypothermia should be developed.

Currently, there are attempts to use guidelines in the hospital setting to predict overall mortality in critically ill patients. However, a predictor of subsequent ICU admissions remains to be explored. Recent data has shown the importance of monitoring respiratory rate variability (RRV) as a useful predictor of the deterioration of patients. Respiratory rate, in comparison to blood pressure or pulse rate, is deemed as the better determinant in identifying high-risk patients. Aim Our study aims to assess the role of RRV monitoring as a potential prognostic marker predictive of ICU admission. Results There was a significant (p = 0.009) increase in RRV between the third and fourth set of respiratory rates prior to ICU admission, such that coefficient of variation percentage (CV%) increased from 0.3% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.09 - 0.42) to 0.7% (95% CI: 0.04 - 0.9) about 12 hours before admission to the ICU independent from diagnosis. Conclusion Using elevated RRV as a signal may be a useful prognostic tool in providing early intervention, thus reducing the incidence of subsequent morbidity and mortality in patients that might necessitate an ICU admission.

AB - OBJECTIVE: Machine learning methods that make use of large numbers of predictor variables are now commonplace. This work examines how different types of predictor variables derived from the electronic health record affect the performance of predicting unplanned transfers to the intensive care unit (ICU) at three large children's hospitals. AB - METHODS: We trained separate models with data from three different institutions from 2011 through 2013 and evaluated models with 2014 data. Cases consisted of patients who transferred from the floor to the ICU and met one or more of 5 different priori defined criteria for suspected unplanned transfers. Controls were patients who were never transferred to the ICU. Predictor variables for the models were derived from vitals, labs, acuity scores, and nursing assessments. Classification models consisted of L1 and L2 regularized logistic regression and neural network models. We evaluated model performance over prediction horizons ranging from 1 to 16 hours. AB - RESULTS: Across the three institutions, the c-statistic values for our best models were 0.892 (95% CI 0.875-0.904), 0.902 (95% CI 0.880-0.923), and 0.899 (95% CI 0.879-0.919) for the task of identifying unplanned ICU transfer 6 hours before its occurrence and achieved 0.871 (95% CI 0.855-0.888), 0.872 (95% CI 0.850-0.895), and 0.850 (95% CI 0.825-0.875) for a prediction horizon of 16 hours. For our first model at 80% sensitivity, this resulted in a specificity of 80.5% (95% CI 77.4-83.7) and a positive predictive value of 5.2% (95% CI 4.5-6.2). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Feature-rich models with many predictor variables allow for patient deterioration to be predicted accurately, even up to 16 hours in advance.

Our work focuses on the problem of predicting the transfer of pediatric patients from the general ward of a hospital to the pediatric intensive care unit. AB - OBJECTIVES: The development of a data-driven pediatric early deterioration indicator for use by clinicians with the purpose of predicting encounters where transfer from the general ward to the PICU is likely. AB - METHODS: Using data collected over 5.5 years from the electronic health records of two medical facilities, we develop machine learning classifiers based on adaptive boosting and gradient tree boosting. We further combine these learned classifiers into an ensemble model and compare its performance to a modified pediatric early warning score (PEWS) baseline that relies on expert defined guidelines. To gauge model generalizability, we perform an inter-facility evaluation where we train our algorithm on data from one facility and perform evaluation on a hidden test dataset from a separate facility. AB - RESULTS: We show that improvements are witnessed over the modified PEWS baseline in accuracy (0.77 vs. 0.69), sensitivity (0.80 vs. 0.68), specificity (0.74 vs. 0.70) and AUROC (0.85 vs. 0.73). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Data-driven, machine learning algorithms can improve PICU transfer prediction accuracy compared to expertly defined systems, such as a modified PEWS, but care must be taken in the training of such approaches to avoid inadvertently introducing bias into the outcomes of these systems.

Mechanical ventilation is used to support patients with failing respiratory function and patients requiring high levels of sedation. Mechanical ventilation, if not managed appropriately, can worsen or cause lung injury and contribute to increased morbidity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of ARDSNet protocol compliance during aeromedical evacuation of ventilated combat injured patients. AB - METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review of combat injured patients transported by CCATTs from Afghanistan to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) in Germany between January 2007 and January 2012. After univariate analyses, we performed regression analyses to assess compliance and post-flight outcomes. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate associations between the risk factor of non-compliance with increased number of ventilator, ICU, or hospital days. Nominal logistic regression models were performed to evaluate the association between non-compliance and mortality. AB - RESULTS: Sixty-two percent (n = 669) of 1,086 patients required mechanical ventilation during transport. A total of 650 patients required volume-controlled mechanical ventilation and were included in the analysis. Of the 650 subjects, 62% (n = 400) were non-compliant per tidal volume and ARDSNet table recommendations. The groups were similar in all demographic variables, except the Non-compliant group had a higher Injury Severity Score compared to the Compliant group. Subjects in the Compliant group were less likely to have an incidence of acute respiratory distress, acute respiratory failure, and ventilator-associated pneumonia when combing the variables (2% vs. 7%, p < 0.0069). The Non-compliant group had an increased incidence of in-flight respiratory events, required more days on the ventilator and in the ICU, and had a higher mortality rate. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Compliance with the ARDSNet guidelines was associated with a decrease in ventilator days, ICU days, and 30-day mortality.

AB - DESIGN: Prospective service evaluation study. AB - SETTING: HC is a four-bedded area coordinated by a specialist nurse. The HC consultant sees emergency patients referred from the emergency department, general practitioners or those in preceding 24 h considered suitable for interim discharge while awaiting investigations and HC reassessment. AB - PATIENTS: All patients with acute abdominal pain were evaluated in three 4 week groups: before (group 1), 1 month (group 2) and 6 months after the HC was introduced (group 3). Interhospital transfers, intrahospital ward referrals and trauma patients were excluded. AB - INTERVENTION: Introduction of consultant-led surgical HC every weekday afternoon. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Proportion of patients admitted under general surgeons, length of inpatient stay and the proportion of patients referred again within 3 months were investigated. AB - RESULTS: 1409 patients were referred, of which 1061 met the inclusion criteria: 307 in group 1, 326 in group 2 and 428 in group 3. There was no difference in gender distribution (p=0.759). Inpatient admissions were significantly reduced (85.0% vs 78.2% vs 54.4%; p<0.001) and the inpatient duration of stay was significantly shorter after HC introduction (median (IQR) (95% CI) 63.8 (29.0-111.6) (51.8 to 72.8) hours vs 48.8 (21.7-101.2) (42.0 to 55.6) hours vs 47.7 (20.9-92.7) (42.8 to 56.9) hours; p=0.011). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Emergency general surgery HCs are associated with significant reductions in admission rates and inpatient bed occupancy. This service redesign has the potential to dramatically relieve pressure on acute surgical services. CI - Competing interests: None declared.

AB - METHOD: Prospective cohort study from July 2014 to July 2015. Data collection comprised clinical data, prognostic scores, length of stay, and outcome at hospital discharge. Data was collected on transport and adverse events. Adverse events were classified according to the World Health Organization following the degree of damage. The level of significance was set at 5%. AB - RESULTS: A total of 293 patients were analyzed with follow-up of 143 patient transportations and records of 86 adverse events. Of these events, 44.1% were related to physiological alterations, 23.5% due to equipment failure, 19.7% due to team failure, and 12.7% due to delays. Half of the events were classified as moderate. The mean time of hospital stay of the group with adverse events was higher compared to patients without adverse events (31.4 versus 16.6 days, resp., p < 0.001). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Physiological alterations were the most frequently encountered events, followed by equipment and team failures. The degree of damage associated with adverse events was classified as moderate and associated with an increase in the length of hospital stay.

Patient discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) to a non-ICU ward is one of the most challenging and high-risk transitions of care due to the number of medications, and the complexity and acuity of the medical conditions that characterize this patient group. Pharmacists could play an important role in preventing DRPs. This study was undertaken to evaluate the impact on the number and severity of drug-related problems by assigning a clinical pharmacist to the transfer process from ICU to wards. AB - METHODS: The study was a randomized controlled multicentre trial conducted at the Hospital Network of Antwerp between December 2010 and January 2012. The clinical pharmacist performed a medical review in both the intervention and control group. Recommendations for drug therapy changes were immediately communicated in the intervention group but were kept blinded in the control group. The primary outcome was expressed as the number of implemented recommendations for drug therapy changes. Differences between groups were calculated using mixed effects binary logistic regression. AB - RESULTS: Drug-related problems were found in the medical records of 360 of the 600 participants (60%). A total of 743 recommendations could be made, 375 in the intervention group and 368 in the control group. 54.1% of these problems were adjusted on time in the intervention group vs. 12.8% in the control group. Of 743 recommendations, 24.8% were judged by the expert group as major, 13.1% as moderate, 53.4% as minor and 8.9% as having no clinical impact. The odds of implementing recommendations of drug therapy changes in the intervention group were 10 times the odds of implementing recommendations of drug therapy changes in the control group (odds ratio = 10.1; 95%CI [6.3-16.1]; P < 0.001), even after accounting for differences in types of DRP between the groups (odds ratio = 15.6; 95%CI [9.4-25.9]; P < 0.001). AB - WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: The integration of a clinical pharmacist at the transfer point from ICU to ward led to a significant reduction in DRPs. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Such patients are at high risk of adverse outcomes, including readmission to the ICU, and increased nosocomial infections and mortality, with a resultant increase in hospital costs. This article explores the challenges of transferring patients from the ICU and uses evidence to examine ways to address them to ensure optimal care for a complex patient group. Transfer time, factors affecting general ward care, handover processes, recognition of deterioration and education, intensive care outreach, and the psychological factors affecting these patients are examined.

If deficient, to implement a validated handover tool to improve the quality of the handover process. AB - METHODS: In Cycle 1 we observed the verbal handover and reviewed the written handover information transferred for 50 consecutive patients in St George's Hospital Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit. For each patient's handover, we assessed whether each section of the Identification, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendations tool was used on a scale of 0-2. Zero if no information in that category was transferred, one if the information was partially transferred and two if all relevant information was transferred. Each patient's handover received a score from 0 to 10 and thus, each cycle a total score of 0-500. Following the implementation of the Identification, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendations handover tool in our Intensive Care Unit in Cycle 2, we re-observed the handover process for another 50 consecutive patients hence, completing the audit cycle. AB - RESULTS: There was a significant difference between the total scores from Cycle 1 and 2 (263/500 versus 457/500, p<0.001). The median handover score for Cycle 1 was 5/10 (interquartile range 4-6). The median handover score for Cycle 2 was 9/10 (interquartile range 9-10). Patient handover scores increased significantly between Cycle 1 and 2, U=13.5, p<0.001. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of a standardised handover template (Identification, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendations tool) has improved the quality and safety of the doctor-to-doctor handover of patient information in our Intensive Care Unit.

Our goal, as proof of concept, was to identify early clinical factors or traits useful for predicting the outcome, of death, intubation, or transfer to ICU, for children with pediatric respiratory failure. We implemented both supervised and unsupervised methods to extend our understanding on statistical relationships in clinical and physiological data. As a supervised learning method, we use binary logistic regression to predict the risk of developing DIT outcome. Next, we implemented unsupervised k-means algorithm on principal components of clinical and physiological data to further explore the contribution of clinical and physiological data on developing DIT outcome. Our results show that early signals of DIT can be detected in physiological data, and two risk factors, blood pressure and oxygen level, are the most important determinant of developing DIT.

This study aimed to identify clinical factors that can predict patients at increased risk for delayed transfer to the ICU and the association of delayed ICU transfer with mortality. AB - METHODS: This is a nested case-control study in a prospectively collected registry of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock at two EDs. Cases had severe sepsis and unexpected ICU transfer within 48 h of admission from the ED; controls had severe sepsis but remained in a non-ICU level of care. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to identify predictors of unexpected transfer to the ICU, which was the primary outcome. Differences in mortality between these two groups as well as a cohort of patients directly admitted to the ICU were also calculated. AB - RESULTS: Of the 914 patients in our registry, 358 patients with severe sepsis were admitted from the ED to non-ICU level of care; 84 (23.5%) had unexpected ICU transfer within 48 h. Demographics and baseline co-morbidity burden were similar for patients requiring versus not requiring delayed ICU transfer. In unadjusted analysis, lactate >=4 mmol/L and infection site were significantly associated with unexpected ICU upgrade. In forward selection multivariate logistic regression analysis, lactate >=4 mmol/L (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.03, 3.73; p=0.041) and night (5 PM to 7 AM) admission (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.07, 3.33; p=0.029) were independent predictors of unexpected ICU transfer. Mortality of patients who were not upgraded to the ICU was 8.0%. Patients with unexpected ICU upgrade had similar mortality (25.0%) to those patients with severe sepsis/septic shock (24.6%) who were initially admitted to the ICU, despite less severe indices of illness at presentation. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Serum lactate >=4 mmol/L and nighttime admissions are associated with unexpected ICU transfer in patients with severe sepsis. Mortality among patients with delayed ICU upgrade was similar to that for patients initially admitted directly to the ICU.

The literature about benefits of and untoward events (UEs) during intrahospital transport of pediatric critically ill patient is scarce. We, therefore, audited the UEs during and benefits of intrahospital transport of critically ill pediatric patients in our ICU. AB - SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Eighty critically ill pediatric (<18 years) cancer patients, transported from the ICU for either diagnostic or therapeutic procedure over a period of 6 months, were included in the study. The data collected included the destination (computed tomography scan, intervention radiology, magnetic resonance imaging scan, and operation theater), accompanying medical personnel, UEs, and benefits obtained during transport. AB - RESULTS: Among eighty pediatric patients, the median age was 8 years (range 2-17 years). During the transport, four (5%) patients required endotracheal intubation, three (3.75%) patients required intercostal drain placement, and six (7.5%) patients required cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Accidental removal of central venous catheter was reported in three (3.75%) patients, drain came out in four (5%) patients, and three (3.75%) patients had accidental extubation. Transport indirectly led to a change in antibiotic therapy in 24 (30%) patients and directly helped in change of therapy in the form of interventions in 20 (25%) patients. AB - CONCLUSION: Critically ill children can be transported safely with adequate pretransport preparations, which may help in avoiding major UEs and benefit the patient by change in the therapy.

Therefore, the North West London Critical Care Network decided to create a standardised ideal transfer bag and contents to improve patient safety. AB - METHODS: A four-round modified Delphi survey developed a condensed and clinically tested content list. An expert panel then designed an ideal transfer bag based on agreed important principles. AB - RESULTS: Participants completed two rounds of an electronic survey. Round 3 comprised an expert clinical panel review, while round 4 tested the contents over 50 clinical transfers. The prototype bag's design was adjusted after clinical use and feedback. AB - DISCUSSION: This project has introduced a standardised critical care transfer bag across our network. A similar technique could be used for other healthcare regions. Alternatively, the above critical care transfer bag could be adopted or adapted for regional use by clinicians.

The project involved the movement of 540 patients, many over a distance of several miles. We describe the planning process and transfer of 24 level two and three patients from two intensive care units into the new hospital. These transfers were performed successfully, without significant incident and under intense scrutiny from the Trust, the patients and the media. In this paper, we reflect upon our experiences of this process, which may be of benefit to those encountering a similar move in the future.

Despite increasing adoption of active warming methods over the recent years, little is known about the effectiveness of these interventions on the occurrence of abnormal postoperative temperatures in sick infants. Methods. Preoperative and postoperative temperature readings, patient characteristics, and procedural factors of critically ill infants at a single institution were retrieved retrospectively from June 2006 until May 2014. The primary endpoints were the incidence and trend of postoperative hypothermia and hyperthermia on arrival at the intensive care units. Univariate and adjusted analyses were performed to identify factors independently associated with abnormal postoperative temperatures. Results. 2,350 cases were included. 82% were normothermic postoperatively, while hypothermia and hyperthermia each occurred in 9% of cases. During the study period, hypothermia decreased from 24% to 2% (p < 0.0001) while hyperthermia remained unchanged (13% in 2006, 8% in 2014, p = 0.357). Factors independently associated with hypothermia were higher ASA status (p = 0.02), lack of intraoperative convective warming (p < 0.001) and procedure date before 2010 (p < 0.001). Independent associations for postoperative hyperthermia included lower body weight (p = 0.01) and procedure date before 2010 (p < 0.001). Conclusions. We report an increase in postoperative normothermia rates in critically ill infants from 2006 until 2014. Careful monitoring to avoid overcorrection and hyperthermia is recommended.

Longer intra-hospital transport time increases the risk of hemodynamic instability and associated complications. Therefore, reducing intra-hospital transport time is critical. Our objective was to evaluate whether or not a new device the easy tube arrange device (ETAD) has the potential to reduce intra-hospital transport time of critically ill patients. AB - METHODS: We enrolled volunteers for this prospective randomized controlled study. Each participant arranged four, five, and six fluid tubings, monitoring lines, and therapeutic equipment on a cardiopulmonary resuscitation training mannequin (Resusci Anne). The time required to arrange the fluid tubings for intra-hospital transport using two different methods was evaluated. AB - RESULTS: The median time to arrange four, five, and six fluid tubings was 86.00 (76.50 to 98.50), 96.00 (86.00 to 113.00), and 115.50 (93.00 to 130.75) seconds, respectively, using the conventional method and 60.50 (52.50 to 72.75), 69.00 (57.75 to 80.80), and 72.50 (64.75 to 90.50) seconds using the ETAD (all P<0.001). The total duration (for preparing the basic setting and organizing before and after the transport) was 280.00 (268.75 to 293.00), 315.50 (304.75 to 330.75), and 338.00 (319.50 to 360.25) seconds for four, five, and six fluid tubings, respectively, using the conventional method and 274.50 (261.75 to 289.25), 288.00 (271.75 to 298.25), and 301.00 (284.50 to 310.75) seconds, respectively, using the new method (P=0.024, P<0.001, and P<0.001, respectively). AB - CONCLUSION: The ETAD was convenient to use, reduced the time to arrange medical tubings, and is expected to assist medical staff during intra-hospital transport.
