Consensus on Neonatal and Pediatric Interfacility Transport.
Air Medical Journal · 2026-01-01 · Guideline / consensus
Abstract
The practice of neonatal/pediatric transport medicine continues to advance. Teams have evolved from providing critical care outside tertiary care centers to participating in collaborative research efforts, benchmarking and quality improvement, developing innovative partnerships, and pushing the limits of care provision during interfacility transport. The most recent consensus document on neonatal and pediatric transport medicine was published more than a decade ago. Advancements in the field necessitate the dissemination of new practices in transport medicine. The following manuscript details the current evidence-supported, expert consensus opinions on the practice of neonatal and pediatric transport medicine and recommendations for its future direction.
