Interfacility Transfer Teams: A Pilot Study to Assess Viability as a Skill Sustainment Platform

CONCLUSIONS: IFT teams with local training were able to safely transport critically ill patients with no adverse outcomes, defined as direct harm to the patients as a result of transport. Patient care during transports included routine interventions, ventilator management, and troubleshooting of patient deteriorations. Our data further suggest IFT programs may be a viable skill sustainment platform for ERC clinicians.PMID:38518201 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae093
