Non-Emergent Neonatal ICU-to-PICU Transfers in the United States: Cross-Sectional Survey of Neonatologists and Pediatric Intensivists

In 2024, neonatologists corroborated our 2023 PARK-PICU data about non-emergent intrafacility NICU-to-PICU transfer. These PICU-NICU data dyads now show that neonatologists strongly support standardizing these transfers, and that neonatologists from units with standardized transfer evaluate their processes as having more than three-fold greater odds of perceived transfer effectiveness. Thus, there is multidisciplinary support for standardizing NICU-to-PICU transfer practices.
