NETS: a new system for neonatal transport.

R N Roy, W H Kitchen

    The Medical Journal of Australia
    |December 24, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new Neonatal Emergency Transport Service significantly improved care for sick newborns. This specialized transport led to better infant condition, reduced mortality, and lower morbidity rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal care
    • Emergency medicine
    • Transport medicine

    Background:

    • Past neonatal transport often provided inadequate care for critically ill infants.
    • There was a need for specialized services to improve outcomes during neonatal transfers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a newly established Neonatal Emergency Transport Service (NETS).
    • To assess the impact of NETS on the condition, mortality, and morbidity of neonates during transport.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a specialized transport team comprising sisters and doctors.
    • Utilization of sophisticated equipment for in-transit stabilization, focusing on temperature control, oxygenation, and ventilation.
    • Prospective reporting of the first nine months of NETS operations.

    Main Results:

    • Significant improvement in the condition of infants upon admission to the intensive care unit.
    • Demonstrated reduction in mortality and morbidity rates for sick and premature newborns.
    • Established NETS as a vital component in neonatal critical care transport.

    Conclusions:

    • The Neonatal Emergency Transport Service has successfully improved the quality of care for sick neonates in transit.
    • Specialized neonatal transport services are crucial for reducing adverse outcomes in vulnerable newborns.
    • Prenatal transfer of high-risk mothers remains the optimal strategy for perinatal transport when feasible.
