To examine the transport times of immediate and emergency retrievals for neonatal and paediatric patients retrieved by ground and air from general hospitals to tertiary centres.
We conducted a database review of the records of 17 011 requests for retrieval to a centralised transport service in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Australia from 2000 to 2006.
Immediate and emergency retrievals included 4575 (43.7%) neonatal and 5887 (56.3%) paediatric retrievals. The median stabilisation time was 97 min for neonatal compared with 50 min for paediatric retrievals. Neonatal retrievals had a significantly longer stabilisation time (approx x2), handover time (approx x1.2) and mission time (approx x1.3) compared to paediatric retrievals.
Establishing reference times for the transport process is a valuable quality assurance tool. Such data will be valuable for staff and budgeting purposes and for evaluating new interventions that reduce retrieval times.
研究从综合医院通过地面和空中转运至三级医疗中心的新生儿及儿科患者的紧急和非紧急转运时间。
我们对2000年至2006年期间澳大利亚新南威尔士州和澳大利亚首都直辖区向一个集中转运服务机构提出的17011次转运请求记录进行了数据库审查。
紧急和非紧急转运包括4575例（43.7%）新生儿转运和5887例（56.3%）儿科患者转运。新生儿的中位稳定时间为97分钟，而儿科患者转运为50分钟。与儿科患者转运相比，新生儿转运的稳定时间明显更长（约为2倍）、交接时间（约为1.2倍）和任务时间（约为1.3倍）。
确定转运过程的参考时间是一种有价值的质量保证工具。这些数据对于工作人员、预算编制以及评估减少转运时间的新干预措施都将是有价值的。
