title: [The Munich intensive care transport system. Patient transport and intensive care conditions].
abstract: In November 1990 a new program for transporting critically ill patients by a 24-h specialized intensive care transportation system at the Munich Hospital Grosshadern was established. All medical equipment similar to that in the ICU allows invasive and non-invasive monitoring, drug administration, and a sophisticated respiratory therapy, provided by a Siemens Servo 300 ventilator. Even extracorporal lung augmentation (ECLA) and cardiac pump assistance by special mobile devices are possible during the transport.
