Pediatric interfacility transport effects on mortality and length of stay

Pediatric interfacility transport effects on mortality and length of stay

Background We aimed to evaluate the effects of interfacility pediatric critical care transport response time, physician presence during transport, and mode of transport on mortality and length of stay (LOS) among pediatric patients. We hypothesized that a shorter response time and helicopter transpo...

Zusammenfassung:Background We aimed to evaluate the effects of interfacility pediatric critical care transport response time, physician presence during transport, and mode of transport on mortality and length of stay (LOS) among pediatric patients. We hypothesized that a shorter response time and helicopter transports, but not physician presence, are associated with lower mortality and a shorter LOS. Methods Retrospective, single-center, cohort study of 841 patients (
