2016 NEONATAL & PEDIATRIC TRANSPORT AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
Sponsored by Airborne Life Support Systems Transport Incubators, a Division of International Biomedical Ltd.

The Neonatal & Pediatric Transport Award of Excellence is sponsored by Airborne Life Support Systems Transport Incubators, a division of International Biomedical Ltd, and is given in recognition of the significant contributions to an overall enhancement of neonatal/pediatric transport patient care. We are proud to announce this year’s Award of Excellence is given to the LifeFlight Critical Care Transport Team at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami, Florida.

In the air and on the ground, the LifeFlight Critical Care Transport Team extends Nicklaus Children’s Hospital’s vision “to be where the children are.” The LifeFlight team, which originally consisted of a nurse and third-year residents on call, LifeFlight has evolved to represent a multidisciplinary group of highly skilled RNs, paramedics, EMTs, communication specialists, and pilots, dedicated to their pediatric and neonatal patients.

The Nicklaus Children’s LifeFlight team pioneered new technology to bring high-frequency ventilation, nitric oxide delivery, and ECMO to each mode of transport. LifeFlight revolutionized ground ambulances in the 1990s by crafting a custom-built, dual stretcher Freightliner ambulance, which has since become the standard for pediatric teams across the US. The team strives to reduce patient and family apprehension by ensuring a place at the bedside for a family member on any transport – whether by ground, helicopter, or fixed wing. This commitment to the wellbeing of each patient provides comfort and assurance to the families.

But the real reasons for earning this award are very small. As any parent would attest, it is heartbreaking when your child has a medical emergency. A baby boy born 20 weeks early on a cruise ship in August of last year and was transported from Puerto Rico to Miami by the Nicklaus Children’s LifeFlight Critical Care Transport Team. The baby received care at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital before he was released in early December. These “little reasons” are why the dedicated and compassionate LifeFlight team goes to work every day.

Please show your appreciation in congratulation to this year’s Neonatal & Pediatric Transport Award winner –Nicklaus Children’s Hospital’s LifeFlight team.
