Es posible que los hospitales regionales en muchas partes del mundo no estén completamente equipados para tratar a niños con necesidades médicas complejas y en casos de infección por coronavirus. En muchos casos, los equipos de transporte deben tomar decisiones complejas durante todo el proceso, desde la llamada inicial al hospital receptor y la atención del paciente. Los niños en un entorno de recursos limitados tienen un mayor riesgo de eventos adversos y deterioro clínico. El objetivo de este documento es estandarizar aspectos relacionados con el transporte de pacientes sospechosos / confirmados de COVID-19, a fin de reducir el riesgo de transmisión durante el proceso, proteger al personal de salud, evitar el deterioro fisiológico de los pacientes durante el transporte y el posterior contagio de otros pacientes que puedan ser trasladados en la ambulancia.]]></p></abstract>

Regional hospitals in many parts of the world may not be fully equipped to treat children with complex medical needs and coronavirus infection. In many cases, transportation teams must make complex decisions throughout the care process, from the initial call at the receiving hospital to all aspects of caring for the patient. Children in a resource-limited setting are at increased risk for adverse events and clinical decline. The purpose of this document is to standardize aspects related to the transport of suspected / confirmed COVID-19 patients, in order to reduce transmission risk during the process, protect health-care personnel, avoid clinical deterioration of patients during transport and prevent subsequent virus transmission to other patients who may later be transferred in the same ambulance.]]></p></abstract>
