May attribute transport changes to anesthesia emergence rather than movement itself; hypothesis-generating for procedure-specific monitoring in postoperative transfers.
Does transport and emergence from anesthesia affect cardiovascular variables in critically ill and postoperative patients?
Cardiovascular changes observed during the transport of postoperative patients appear to be primarily driven by acute emergence from inhalational anesthesia rather than the transport process itself.
Insel et al. (1986) studied this question.
