Patients require transportation for many reasons: to an increased level of care, a decreased level of care, a procedure, or for imaging. In this audio podcast, nurse Katherine Stradling (BSN, RN, CCRN, TCRN) discusses the science of transport, what it’s like in the ambulance, and what bedside nurses can do to facilitate safe transport. The podcast differentiates between basic life support (BLS) transport and critical care transport (CCT) and explains the physiologic demands placed on patients during transport.
