Abstract
with the necessary resources and technology to improve the level and quality of care remains one of the most important tasks of emergency neonatology. Deterioration on the road may be due to suboptimal stabilization, the severity of the patient's condition, and the transportation procedure itself. Assessment of transportability is one of the most important tasks in the pre-transport preparation phase. Materials and Methods. The cohort study included data from 604 resuscitation team visits. According to the tactical decision, the subgroups of the transportable (n = 497) and non-transportable (n = 46) patients were singled out. The anamnesis data, scores according to the KSHONN, NTISS, TRIPS threat scales, the volume of intensive care, pre-transport preparation, and the outcome of the hospital stage were analyzed. Results. Non-transportable patients had significantly higher scores on the examined threatometric scales. The need for high-frequency artificial lung ventilation was associated with patient nontransportability with a risk ratio of 10.1 [6.72 to 15.18], and dopamine and adrenaline infusion increased the likelihood of nontransportability with risk ratios of 5.85 [3.44 to 9.95] and 11.38 [8.09 to 16.01], respectively. The need for correction of intensive care is associated with nontransportability with a risk ratio of 3.44 [2.29 to 5.17]. The group of nontransportable patients was characterized by significantly higher mortality, 7-day mortality, frequency of late neonatal sepsis, and longer duration of ventilatory ventilation and intensive care. Discussion. The group of patients considered untransportable at the stage of pre-transport preparation is characterized by high morbidity, the need for intensive care, and the need to correct therapy, which is regarded by the transport team as an additional risk. Conclusion. Non-transportable patients are characterized by a significantly higher need for intensive care and amount of pre-transport preparation, high morbidity and mortality
