The coordination of emergency transfers involves multiple steps and professionals:
Initial assessment: A neonatologist or pediatrician assesses the infant's condition and determines the need for transfer. Transport team: Specialized teams, often including a neonatologist, nurses, and respiratory therapists, are activated. Communication: The originating and receiving hospitals communicate to ensure readiness for the transfer. Documentation: Medical records, including the infant's condition and treatment, are prepared and transferred with the patient.
