Transport of the critically ill trauma patient.
Nurses play an important role in the transport of critically ill trauma patients. The special problems one encounters in ground and/or air transfers must be anticipated. The patient should be prepared both physically and emotionally for this process, and all nurses involved in the transport should work together to insure positive patient outcome.
