For the transfer to be safe and effective it is necessary to plan carefully for these occasions, and for the doctors and nurses attending the transport to be able to provide intensive care on the move.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book provides guidance in both of these major areas. The first section - 'Planning for Safe and Effective Transport' - details issues to be considered by senior staff in setting-up or modernising a transport programme. General principles and relevant physiology are outlined, and vehicles and equipment are discussed in depth. The second section - 'Practical Transport Management' - is concerned with different patient groups and key clinical issues. These include the distinctive features of neonatal and paediatric patients, and management of airway, breathing and circulation. Other chapters discuss airborne transport, pharmacology, trauma, and special interventions for transport such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and inhaled nitric oxide.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eContributors. \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrinciples of safe transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTransport physiology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe ambulance environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEquipment and monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAir transport of critically ill children.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNeonatal transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNeonatal resuscitation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePaediatric resuscitation and stabilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eManagement of the airway.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eManagement of the circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTrauma.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrugs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecial transport interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat to do when it all goes wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrugs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Typical retrival forms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2: Essential equations and aide-mémores.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected references and bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Other branches of medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Other branches of medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Other%20branches%20of%20medicine%20%5BMM%5D%22\"\u003eMM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"BMJ Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52472146198808,"sku":"9780727917706","price":43.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780727917706.jpg?v=1785718841","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/paediatric-and-neonatal-critical-care-transport-paperback-softback-9780727917706","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
