Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of major complications during and after transport of critically ill adults such as Haemodynamic instability which means SBP less than 90 mmHg, or MAP less than 65 mmHg, or need for addition of, or increase in doses of vasopressor agents Worsening of respiratory status Accidental extubation, accidental removal of Inter costal drains, abdominal drains Worsening of GCS as compared to pre-transport condition Timepoint: At baseline of shifting a patient to or from ICU. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Malfunction of any of the transport equipment. Whether a change in management occurred as a result of the transport, particularly for imaging, such as insertion of new drainage catheters or pigtail catheters, surgery or change of antimicrobial agents. Timepoint: In 24 hrs since beginning of shifting patient to or from ICU. | — |
