The impact of EMS transport models on pediatric life-saving interventions and outcomes in emergency care: a prospective observational study based on the REPEM survey
The transport modality significantly influenced the pre-hospital management and clinical outcomes of children requiring LSIs. FG transports were associated with more comprehensive pre-hospital interventions but longer transport times and higher PICU admission and mortality rates. These findings highlight the need for optimizing pre-hospital care and transport protocols to improve outcomes in critically ill children.
