AB - Abstract Objective To compare the frequency of transport-related adverse events in children during specialized, non-specialized or unassisted transports. Methods Patients were grouped based on transport team involved – specialized (Group-1); non-specialized (Group-2); unassisted transport (Group-3). Demographics, events during transport and condition on arrival were recorded. Results Group-1 children had a lower incidence of adverse events compared to Group-2 and Group-3 (4.3%, 82.6% and 85.4% respectively; P<0.001). At arrival, children in Group-1 had a lower incidence of respiratory distress and airway compromise (P< 0.001). Conclusion Transport of critically ill children by a specialized transport team is associated with fewer transport-related adverse events.
