Brief Summary

Intra-hospital transport is a frequent procedure in the ICU, involving patients with the highest severity scores. Although some studies estimate the rate of adverse events to be around 33% during intra-hospital transport, including 4% of serious adverse events, the epidemiological data available is small, heterogeneous, and probably subject to methodological bias. The aim of this study observational prospective observatoinal study is to determine:

• the different practices existing between ICUs ("practice survey")
• the occurrence of adverse events during intra-hospital transport provided by intensive care units (epidemiological study)

Conditions

Critical Illness; Transportation Accidents; Intensive Care Unit

Keywords

Intra-hospital transport; Critical ill patients; Intensive care unit

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Incidence of non-serious adverse events occurring during intra-hospital transport.

  During the intra-intrahospital transport [maximum 3 hours]

• Incidence of serious adverse events occurring during intra-hospital transport.

  During the intra-intrahospital transport [maximum 3 hours]
