    Maternal, Neonatal & Pediatric Transport Services

    California Pacific Medical Center’s Maternal, Neonatal & Pediatric Transport Team provides safe, timely, high-quality care during the transport of all neonatal and pediatric patients, 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, regardless of diagnosis, race, ethnicity or financial background.

    Care is provided by specially trained pediatric and neonatal nurses, paramedics, EMTs, neonatal nurse practitioners and physicians, based on a patient’s acuity and needs. Care is compassionate, developmentally appropriate, professional and based on the principles of family-centered care. The needs of the family are considered and met with respect, understanding and support.

    The decision regarding mode of transport (helicopter, fixed-wing aircraft or ambulance) is collaborative based on the acuity of the patient, weather conditions and other factors. Each transport is reviewed for quality.

    The scope of care provided includes stabilization and transport of critically ill or injured patients based on current research and practices. Our team maintains contact with the accepting physician at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) throughout the transport. This provides the opportunity to relay pertinent patient information to CPMC so the receiving unit is prepared for the patient. In addition, the transport team can provide conventional ventilation, nitric oxide and multi-system support.

    Moreover, the Transport Program maintains active involvement in formal and informal educational opportunities for referral hospital staff, transport physicians and nurses, accepting physicians, residents and independent transport programs.
