Abstract:
An obvious trend of concentrating treatment options on specialized centres may take effect later in an increased need for inter-hospital transfer. Patients initially referred to secondary or tertiary hospitals require a safe and systematically organised transport in order to ensure a continuation of initiated actions in intensive care. This review will focus of appropriate preparations, equipment and transport modalities, possible sources of shortcomings as well as solutions of conflicts during inter-hospital transfers.
