This article summarizes current recommendations regarding prehospital stabilization and transport of the injured child. Transportation alternatives are described, as well as indications for interhospital transport. A checklist for troubleshooting common problems is included, which anticipates events likely to cause morbidity en route. Proper communication is essential to a successful transport, as is a quality review of each completed transport. Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) grants have enabled many states to enhance pediatric prehospital education for providers. |
