When your child needs urgent medical transport, you want skill, safety and calm support. At Cincinnati Children’s, you’ll find all three.
We bring the ICU-level expertise of Cincinnati Children’s directly to your child. Our team stabilizes patients at the referring hospital and safely transports them by ground or air to the care they need.
Our transport team specializes in newborn and pediatric intensive care, emergency medicine, trauma and transport medicine. Each year, we transport about 6,600 patients, including some of the most critically ill children in the region and beyond.
We are often described as an ICU on wheels. Our team begins expert care at the referring hospital to stabilize your child before and during transport. This early care can make a critical difference in outcomes.
We provide multiple levels of transport support, including mobile intensive care, advanced life support and basic life support. When needed, our team can also safely transport patients receiving ECMO (heart-lung machine support).
Your Cincinnati Children’s critical care physician directs your child’s care through a coordinated team that may include a registered nurse, respiratory therapist, paramedic and EMT. Each role is focused on safety, communication and rapid decision-making so your child receives one clear plan of care.
We transport patients by ground ambulance, helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft. This flexibility allows us to reach patients quickly and safely across local, regional and national distances.
Transport requests come from hospitals and providers who need immediate help for critically ill children. Our team is ready to respond around the clock, helping ensure timely access to Cincinnati Children’s specialized care.
