Clinical Interventions During Inter‐hospital Transfer of Infants With Moderate‐to‐Severe Bronchiolitis: Implications for Advanced Nursing Practice
This study provides objective criteria to guide decision-making regarding team composition during the regulation of inter-hospital transfers for infants with moderate-to-severe bronchiolitis. FiO<sub>2</sub> and pCO<sub>2</sub> thresholds measured at the initial call can help identify cases requiring physician presence, while allowing most transfers to be safely conducted by nurse-led teams. These results support the development of standardised triage protocols and strengthen the role of advanced paediatric critical care nurses in retrieval medicine. Integrating such evidence-based criteria into practice could optimise human resources, maintain safety and improve response times in paediatric emergency transport systems.
