Sammanfattning
The trauma centre at Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet has offered assistance with the transfer of severely injured patients since October 2000, with the use of a dedicated ambulance and transport team. Up until 1 June 2003, 287 patients were transferred with this system. Patients requiring intensive care were transferred from Rigshospitalet to other hospitals 131 times, while 156 were transferred to Rigshospitalet. Of these, 123 patients had been injured and were transferred after initial stabilisation at the primary hospital, while 33 patients had not been injured but were moved to intensive care at Rigshospitalet for other reasons. No patients died during transfer. We consider this transfer system to be an improvement in the quality of care for severely injured patients and other patients requiring intensive care, and we expect an increased use of dedicated transport teams in the future.
