Transportation of new-born children
To ensure the safe accompaniment of a newborn, the emergency department of the Dobrobut medical chain offers services for the transportation of babies in equipped resuscitation vehicles, accompanied by a specialized field team.
Conditions of transportation of children
The vehicles are equipped with a special unit - a transport incubator for newborns (cuvette) or transport thermoboxes, which isolates the child from adverse environmental factors (cold, heat, poor air quality) during transportation and allows full control of the child's environment - temperature and humidity, the level (percentage) of oxygen in the air surrounding the child.
The use of the cuvette allows medical personnel to perform all medical procedures, including artificial lung ventilation, without creating additional stress on the child's immature self-regulatory system. The device is equipped with autonomous power sources for the operation of the necessary life-support and monitoring equipment and the supply of medical oxygen, which ensures the possibility of working in isolation from any power supply for 2.5-3 hours.
This method of transportation is indicated if the child was born with complications (premature, has congenital diseases, a serious condition, etc.).
Features of transportation of children to Dobrobut
Our specialized team for the transportation of newborns of the Dobrobut medical chain consists of
- a pediatric anesthesiologist with experience in the neonatal intensive care unit.
- a paramedic with the first or higher qualification category and additional training for working with newborns
- doctors of other specialties.
All medical personnel are qualified to work in transportation conditions and have skills and knowledge of neonatal resuscitation and intensive care.
The staff of the specialized team must assess the condition and, if necessary, prepare the child before transportation.
The child is delivered to the neonatal center in a transport incubator (cuvette) without additional transfers, continuing medical and life-support measures.
Given the peculiarities of accompanying a newborn, transportation can be carried out only after confirmation of a preliminary agreement with the hospital where the child is transported.
