Why the study?
Does in-hospital transport of critically ill patients increase the risk of physiologic complications compared to remaining in the ICU?
Does in-hospital transport of critically ill patients increase the risk of physiologic complications compared to remaining in the ICU?
In-hospital transport of critically ill patients is associated with frequent physiologic changes, but these occur at similar rates in ICU patients, and transport frequently leads to changes in clinical management.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Transport-associated physiologic changes match ICU rates yet often change management; leaves open incremental risk and supports prospective trials.
Hurst et al. (1992) studied this question.
