Abstract:
The differentiation of specialist care means that not every hospital can meet specific care requirements. Because of this, frequent transport of critical care patients is necessary. In most circumstances, regular ambulance transport is used, either with or without an accompanying physician. In some cases, a mobile intensive care unit (MICU) can be deployed. However, the MICU is not 24/7 operational in our area and significant waiting times can occur. Additionally, space and resources in a regular ambulance are limited. We have therefore developed a new protocol, covering the transport of critical care patients. In this, we use a special trolley with built-in advanced devices, such as a respiratory apparatus, in combination with an adapted ambulance. By using this protocol we minimize time loss and guarantee safe and patient-centred transport.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
