title: Neonatal transport--a part of the study "follow-up of some indices in neonates, treated with artificial ventilation during the neonatal period".
abstract: Surveillance of a sick neonate is closely related to appropriate intensive care and therapy in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). There will be babies that need to be transferred to NICU. We used the neonatal intensive computer file (NICF) as an information base. Our results showed clear-cut differences between the studied parameters both for the different BW groups, survived/nonsurvived and transported/nontransported groups: differences in sex, Apgar score, number of neonates in 1992. tendency towards earlier transport for VLBW, followed by LBW and TB. the longest period of IPPV + IMV/weaning from ventilator in transported LBWS. severe disturbances, diseases and malformations noted in nonsurvived both transported and nontransported.
