Description of Services:

The only specialty-trained neonatal and pediatric transport team in South Texas. The Driscoll Children's Hospital ground/air transport team is staffed 24 hours a day with personnel who are trained at instructor levels in advanced neonatal resuscitation (NRP), pediatric advanced life support (PALS), advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and flight
physiology.

Driscoll Children's Hospital transport teams consist of Registered Nurses, Registered Respiratory Therapists, Paramedics and/or Emergency Medical Technicians. Transport team configurations are customized to fit the appropriate level of treatment for every patient.

Driscoll Children's Hospital transport teams are equipped with the latest specialized neonatal and pediatric state-of-the-art equipment. Our transport teams are capable of providing the highest level of neonatal and pediatric patient care while in transit.

Quick, easy access to neonatal and pediatric intensivists can be obtained by calling our 800-879-KIDS hotline. One telephone call to our KIDS hotline puts the caller in direct contact with a communications specialist who will immediately mobiliz e the transport team. During the transport process, our team members are in constant contact with Driscoll Children's Hospital intensivists via telephone and 2-way radio communications. Advanced communication equipment and availability of the transport intensivist allows our transport team to provide intensive care unit level patient care throughout the entire transport.

Driscoll Children's Hospital currently enlists the services of two Cessna and one King Air twin-engine fixed wing medical transport aircraft and one Bell Long Ranger medical helicopter. Transports requiring ground transportation can be completed utilizing one of the four Driscoll Children's Hospital ambulances. Driscoll Children's Hospital transport teams have no distance limitations, several transports into Mexico and throughout the continental United States have been successfully completed.
