title: [Interhospital transportation of children in critical condition in the Leningrad region].
abstract: A team of anesthesiologists and intensive care specialists of the Leningrad district hospital has in the course of 5 years (1984-1988) rendered medical aid to 2163 critically ill children. 1374 of them were transported to the district hospital and other medical centres. 82.3% of children were under 3 years of age. The majority of children had severe respiratory disturbances (52.5%). Guidelines for safe interhospital transportation of critically ill children have been elaborated, which made it possible to avoid deterioration of the patients' condition at interhospital stage. The term "non-transportable" is recommended to be replaced by "transportation inadvisable".
