ABSTRACT
Some newborn babies should be transferred between hospitals due to the need for advanced intensive care, special conditions, social factors, or a lack of appropriate places. Although maternal transport (in-utero) is accepted as the ideal method, this is not always possible because of unknown fetal risks or unanticipated postnatal problems that occur during delivery. Factors such as the stabilization of the patient before the transport, having a well-trained team, and the sufficiency of transport vehicle equipment have increased the success of neonatal transport. In Turkey, nowadays, although there have been many significant developments in the field of neonatal transport, this process still needs to be at the desired level. This review summarizes the scope of safe and effective neonatal transport, which is vital in reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Keywords: Neonatal; transport; stabilization
