Abstract
Intrahospital transport of critically ill patients from the emergency room to intensive care units or for diagnostic and treatment procedures that cannot be performed at the bedside in the intensive care and emergency room is frequently performed. In-hospital transfers are also common in patients with respiratory failure undergoing NIMV. Noninvasive ventilation (NIMV) is often performed in emergency rooms, pulmonology departments, and intensive care units in patients with respiratory failure. Physiological reserve may be deficient or decreased in these patients. In-hospital transfer risks are higher, and significant clinical complications may occur. Monitoring the patient by medical personnel during transfer and controlling the equipment reduces the risk. When transferring critically ill patients undergoing NIMV within the hospital, the risks and benefits of the transfer should be carefully reviewed.
