Abstract
Critical events occurred in approximately 1 in 15 transports and were associated with mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic instability, and transport duration, and were less frequent in neurologic patients. The finding that hypotension is common and predicted by pretransport hemodynamic instability has implications for the preparation and management of this patient group.
