    AbstractAlthough the primary focus of this article is on interhospital transport, some of the same basic transport principles and management techniques apply to intrahospital transport. The level of care provided during interhospital and intrahospital transport should be based on the neonate's diagnosis, clinical status, anticipated problems, and local, state, and national standards and regulations. The transport team should have policies and procedures to direct their practice. Documentation of the transport process should be initiated with the referral call and continued until the completion of transport. Planning and anticipation of problems are essential, as is care of the family. The transport team should evaluate each neonate's individual response to the transport.
