interfacility transport
  • Optimal methods for building a safe and effective interfacility transport (IFT) system of care after cardiac arrest are understudied, with many knowledge gaps.
  • Clear communication among the transferring center, receiving center, and IFT team is crucial to guarantee patient safety. Such communication must encompass discussions on overall clinical stability and potential issues that may arise.
  • It is vital that post-resuscitation treatments started in the referring emergency department, including active temperature management and hemodynamic optimization, be maintained throughout the IFT process whenever possible.
