Abstract
Intra-hospital transports (IHT) are high risk events with potential for adverse patient outcomes. The care of a patient in our emergency department (ED) needing IHT to the intensive care unit (ICU) identified opportunities for improving IHT safety. We are unaware of any published IHT guidelines to facilitate safe transport in pediatric hospitals.
