  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>A safe neonatal transport system is an essential component in the regionalization of perinatal care. Despite efforts to provide continuous intensive care to sick infants during transport,1-5 several studies have revealed an increased morbidity and mortality among infants transported to newborn intensive care units (NICU) compared with those infants born at the NICU.6,7 There is little information available about the adequacy of monitoring and maintaining oxygenation and acid-base status during infant transport. In a preliminary study we examined the ability of a neonatal transport team to maintain an infant's Pao2 (46 to 100 torr), pH (7.25 to 7.55), and Paco2 (20 to 50 torr) in the "physiologic" range during transport.</jats:p>
