When a Child Needs Emergency ICU Ambulance Transfer

Understand when an ICU ambulance is needed for newborns and children, and how critical care transport keeps patients stable on the move.

Some newborns and children need more than a regular ambulance during transfer. Severe breathing difficulty, shock, seizures, major infections or post-operative complications may require ICU-level transport with monitoring and emergency support.

An ICU on Wheels service helps stabilize the child while moving between hospitals or from home to a critical care unit. Feather's Hospital provides 24x7 emergency transport support for children and newborns who need urgent specialist care.
