Abstract

A paediatric emergency transport service (PETS) has been developed in Melbourne to cater for the secondary evacuation of children beyond the neonatal period. A consultative and transport service is provided. Forty-six children were transported in the first year of operation and the details are now reported. It is believed that the service is fulfilling a hiatus in the delivery of emergency health care to regional centres and that it will reduce morbidity and mortality in this group of critically ill children.
