    Intrahospital transport of critically ill neonates frequently leads to adverse events, with 51.4% of transport episodes deemed unsafe.

  • 2

    Hypothermia was the most common adverse event, occurring in 74% of unsafe transport episodes, with both mild and moderate cases identified.

  • 3

    A surgical indication was the strongest independent predictor of unsafe transport, particularly for conditions like esophageal atresia and gastroschisis.

  • 4

    Transport significantly increased FiO2 levels and decreased SpO2/FiO2 ratios, indicating physiological instability during transport.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for improved thermal protection and standardized assessments post-transport to mitigate risks.
