Gibb, K., Kehoe, P., Hurley, J., Aubertin, C., Greenwood, K., Ibey, A., Redpath, S., Chan, A.D.C., Green, J.R., Langlois, R.G.
During transport to critical care centres, neonatal patients can be exposed to elevated levels of vibration which may pose a risk to the patients’ health. In Ontario, a standardized Neonatal Patient Transport System (NPTS) has been implemented in ground and air ambulances, and studies to...
