With over ten thousand inter-hospital transfers of children and
neonates now taking place every year in the UK, this book, and the
associated training course run by the Advanced Life Support Group
(ALSG) have been developed to provide an introduction to the
knowledge required to undertake these transfers.
"Paediatric and Neonatal Safe Transfer and Retrieval (PaNSTaR)"
is aimed at healthcare professionals either beginning their
training in paediatric or neonatal transport and those who are
involved in undertaking such transfers on an occasional
basis.
Developed by a multi-professional group from across the UK, this
new title incorporates a systematic approach throughout. This
approach is adapted from the adult STaR course and covers the
following:
an overview of the current delivery of children's transport
services
the ACCEPT approach
- Assessment
- Control
- Communication
- Evaluation
- Preparation and Packaging
- Transportation
practical issues that are encountered during the transfer process
from both an equipment and a clinical perspective
special considerations and circumstances that require additional
planning
useful appendices that contain supporting information, sample
checklists and example documentation.
