title: Care of the adult patient during transport.
abstract: Interhospital transport of the critically ill patient involves maintaining the same quality of care that was present before transport. This requires planning for equipment, space, and personnel needs during transport, and instituting adequate pathophysiologically based treatment and stabilization prior to transport. Under such conditions, transport can be safely accomplished and have a positive impact on patient care.
