Reseña del editor

Patient transfer is becoming increasingly frequent as specialist departments are being concentrated in the larger hospitals, and in the UK owing to the lack of ICU beds. There is a growing need for information on how to handle patients in these eventualities. This book gives a systematic approach for the safe transportation of patients between departments and hospitals.
This is the course book for the Safe Transfer and Retrieval courses run by the Advanced Life Support Group.

Contraportada

Safe transfer and retrieval of patients is vital part of modern medicine. Transfer from emergency department to intensive care unit, and from district hospitals to specialist centres providing tertiary investigation and treatments is common, as are transfers around hospitals.

Safe Transfer and Retrieval (STaR) is the course that has been written to develop the necessary knowledge and skills.

This coursebook gives a standarised approach to transfer, describes practical procedures and illustrates how these can be applied in particular clinical situations. The book can be used as a stand alone reference.

Contents include:

• Assessment and control


• Communication and documentation


• Evaluation of the transfer


• Package and preparation of the patient


• Transportation

This book is an invaluable guide to transfer and retrieval of patients.
