Abstract

Neonatal transport program (NTP) is a specialized service for neonatal transport for those who require transfer between hospitals for intensive care. NTP is indicated in any transportation of neonates from place to place, but it is specially indicated in unstable or high-risk neonates. The aim of this review is to discuss the importance of NTP, indication, and contraindication of NTP. In addition, we demonstrate the items of the transport system, methods for the preparation for transportation, as well as all the items of the transportation pathway. We also discuss the predeparture checklist, in addition to the illustration of the NTP telephone referral template. This review will demonstrate the predeparture checklist. Our main goal is to show the importance of NTP in providing the best place for the treatment of needed neonates with safe and adequate scientific transportation from the referring hospital to the receiving hospital.
