Abstract:
:A prospective study was performed to determine whether excess morbidity occurred in critically ill and injured pediatric patients during interhospital transport compared with morbidity in a control group. Control observations were made during the first 2 hours of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) care of patients emergently admitted from within the same institution and not requiring interhospital transport. The first 2 PICU hours of control patients corresponded to the interval of transport in those who required interhospital transfer. Transport care was provided by nonspecialized teams from referring hospitals. Morbidity occurred in 20.9% of 177 transported patients, exceeding the morbidity rate of 11.3% in 195 control patients (P < .05). The difference in morbidity was due to intensive care-related adverse events (eg, plugged or dislodged endotracheal tubes, loss of intravenous access) in 15.3% and 3.6% of transported and control patients, respectively (P < .05). Physiologic deterioration occurred at similar rates of 7.9% and 8.7% in transported and control patients, respectively (P > .05). Slightly greater pre-ICU severity of illness in transported than control patients (median Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score = 10 and 7, respectively, P < .05) and greater pre-ICU therapy relative to severity (P < .05) in control patients are potential confounding sources of the morbidity differences. If patients are stratified into subgroups of similar pre-ICU severity, an excess of intensive care-related adverse events in transported patients remains evident in the severe subgroup (P < .05). Further investigation is warranted to determine whether specialized transport teams can reduce the excess morbidity associated with interhospital transport of critically ill and injured pediatric patients.
