| Abstract | ||
| One of the major activities in the health care process is the transport of patients. Much needed attention has been directed to the transfer of those suffering from actual or potentially life-threatening problems. Adverse events during transportation are still common, and they might pose a serious risk to the patient. The transport process requires a lot of assessment and preparation of the patient, staff, and equipment that should be made prior, during, and after transport. Intrahospital transportation is a continual process of care and monitoring, rather than just a simple transportation procedure. Critically sick patients are frequently transported throughout the hospital without previous planning. This lack of planning may impair the preparation of the team, materials, and equipment and may facilitate the occurrence of adverse events. This literature highlights the most common complications that might face the patient during intrahospital transport and its related risk factors so that health care providers can avoid or reduce the occurrence of it later on. | ||
