Summary

Newborn patients born with a congenital defect require specialized care upon birth. A multidisciplinary approach is often needed. One of the components of care of these patients is intra-hospital transport. Patient transport is always a risky undertaking, especially with unstable patients requiring mechanical ventilation and hemodynamic support. This article outlines the technical equipment and basic approach to intra-hospital transport of patients with congenital defects.
