Abstract

Neonatal transport is necessary where a neonate is transferred between two care units. It provides all the skills of a dedicated team, representing a real mobile neonatal intensive care unit. Informing and involving the families is essential during this transport, which can be a source of stress for the child and its family.

Keywords: mobile neonatal intensive care unit; neonate; nouveau-né; perinatal care; périnatalité; transport; unité mobile de réanimation néonatale.
