Summary
Key Learning Points
1. All staff transferring critically ill patients must be appropriately trained.
2. Equipment should be standardised and allow the team to deal with common and unexpected events during transfer.
3. The decision to transfer a patient should be made by a senior clinician.
4. Proper preparation reduces risk.
5. Regular review of the patient during transfer ensures timely detection of deterioration and appropriate interventions.
