We have evaluated neonatal transports to Ullevål hospital over a six-year period. These were either carried out by helicopter, using a trained transportation team, or by ambulance, the transport being improvised from one transport to another. The investigation shows great variation in the handling of the transports, with the most significant problems in the group without a structured transport system. In addition to generally rather casual and often hazardous transport, particular problems arose in connection with maintaining an adequate body temperature. In addition, the transports were very inadequately documented.
