title: [Transportation of newborns in critical condition].
abstract: The transportation of a newborn baby in critical condition bears a set of important peculiarities, characteristics and problems which noticeably distinguish it from the transport of adults. The health teams which transport newborns in critical condition from hospital to hospital must possess adequate knowledge, be experts in the care of newborns, and have mobile assistance units equipped with all the materials necessary to be able to provide their pediatric patient with a quality care similar to that in an intensive care unit.
