Transport Safety: Considerations for Patients and the RT

About This Course

This panel discussion will focus on major areas of patient and clinician safety for both intra- and inter-facility transport, including the impact of transport on medical interventions and the patient’s hemodynamic status as well as maintaining team and crew safety during transport.
