Samenvatting

Intensive care patiënten worden al tientallen jaren vervoerd. Of om gebruik te kunnen maken van aanvullende behandelmogelijkheden of bepaalde diagnostiek die niet beschikbaar is in het huidige ziekenhuis, of vanwege plaatsgebrek op de intensive care (IC) in het ziekenhuis waar de patiënt zich bevindt. De mobiele intensive care unit (MICU) is een speciaal, voor transport van IC patiënten, toegeruste ambulance met begeleiding van een IC dokter en IC verpleegkundige.

Dit proefschrift gaat over de verschillende aspecten van het MICU transport. Het beoogt antwoord te geven op de volgende vragen:
Klopt het dat een goed voorbereid, getraind transport team met de juiste uitrusting, de kritisch zieke patiënt beter vervoerd met minder incidenten?
Wat voor soort incidenten treden op tijdens het transport van IC patiënten?
Hoe moet een transport team getraind worden?
Wat is de regionale impact van een MICU?
Zijn er specifieke transport gerelateerde kwesties die van belang zijn?
