Abstract
Interhospital transfers of pediatric patients on the Berlin Heart Excor have been published on an occasional basis. Nowadays medicine evolves away from just feasibility towards quality and safety issues. Management tools like risk analysis have found their way into clinical practice. Exemplary, we present a case of a 20 months old boy on a Berlin Heart BiVAD Excor who underwent a 224 km ground transport. After a systematic review of the published literature, we describe our safety management with the aim was to provide highest quality of care for the transport. Besides a risk analysis, we also describe our training and simulation protocol.
