Critical care transport operates inside the narrowest margin in medicine: the interval between a sending ICU and a receiving one, where a ventilated, vasopressor-dependent, or hemodynamically fragile patient must be sustained with fewer hands, less monitoring redundancy, and an environment — altitude, vibration, acceleration — that acts on an already unstable physiology in ways a bedside training never addresses. This reference connects the gas-law and hemodynamic principles that govern that environment to the organ-system management decisions made during transit, building every chapter on the same foundation: the disease determines the baseline vulnerability, and the transport environment determines whether it is safely navigated or tipped into a preventable deterioration.
What This Book Puts in Your Hands
• Predict altitude-driven device and physiologic behavior — gas-expansion effects on cuffs, pleural air, and VAD flow mapped to specific cabin-altitude ranges and corrective interventions.
• Manage ventilators, vasoactives, and multi-line infusions under transport constraints — mode translation across devices, concentration-mismatch prevention, and battery-reserve planning that eliminates preventable mid-transport failures.
• Recognize the 26 named In-Transit Deterioration Signatures — each pattern names the movement trigger, the earliest detectable tell, the trap logic that leads to misattribution, and the decisive intervention that resolves it.
• Stabilize cardiogenic shock, STEMI, massive PE, and MCS-device patients through altitude and deceleration hemodynamic shifts that bedside protocols do not address.
• Transport the neurologic emergency — ICP waveform interpretation, position-triggered herniation prevention, and stroke-transfer activation sequences that preserve minutes the receiving team depends on.
• Manage neonatal, pediatric, obstetric, burn, and toxicologic emergencies with population-specific dosing, equipment sizing, and transport-adapted clinical decision pathways.
• Apply crew resource management, go/no-go frameworks, and fatigue countermeasures that reduce the human-factors errors transport environments are designed to produce.
Open it before your next mission — the clinical decisions every patient depends on between wheels-up and handoff, in one reference.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
