Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Transport and Palliative Care: A Case Series.

CONCLUSIONS: Transportation of pediatric cardiac critical care patients for terminal extubation at home is a relatively infrequent practice. It is a feasible alternative for families seeking out of the hospital end-of-life care for their critically ill and technology dependent children. Our single-center experience supports the need for development of formal programs for end-of-life critical care transports. PMID: 32462881 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
