Neonatal transportation?
Our neonatal transport service is part of a more extensive flight for children. This fleet of modern land and air vehicles is the only team to offer 100% intensive care transportation to India’s children. Our experts are fully trained and can provide intensive support to previously underserved areas.
Our vehicles – a helicopter, fixed-wing aircraft, and other ambulances – are specially designed to treat our youngest patients. This means more interior space for the necessary equipment and caregivers and a better, safer insulating platform. Isolates are transparent, closed plastic containers that provide a suitable environment for the newborn and protect them from germs.
In two cases, we usually offer transportation for the newborn. We transport babies from rural and disadvantaged areas to one of our locations or other care locations. We also move babies from one care location to another, usually when your baby needs more care than is available in the original place.
ICATT Kyathi cares for newborns and their families 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are the only pediatric team in our region and have national and international possibilities to transport infants to or from almost anywhere in the world.
What to Expect from Newborn Transport
Each mode of transport has unique considerations that can change what is expected of the transport team. Where possible, our air ambulance can accommodate a parent or family member to accompany your baby. Sometimes, it is impossible to bring a parent or family member due to weather conditions, altitude, board members, or weight considerations. These considerations change with time, heat, and altitude. In such cases, we will contact you upon arrival at the hospital. While we have satellite and radio communications in all of our air ambulances for hospital consultation, we may not contact you during transport. We are focused on the safety of your baby and our crew during transport.
Our team philosophy is to bring the neonatal intensive care unit to the child so that when we arrive, we spend a lot of time in bed with your baby. We stabilize our patients whenever possible before loading them for transport. We take the time to place intravenous or umbilical lines, evaluate x-rays, protect the airways, and support the airways. We can also provide treatment to ensure your baby is stable during transport. During this process, we usually consult with our neonatologist. If your baby is in urgent need of surgery or needs care that we cannot provide, we will move faster to move him or her for final treatment. In this case, we will take the child in 10 to 15 minutes.
Whatever the situation, you can always rely on us. Please tell us any problems or information that can help us take care of your child.
