This protocol outlines essential steps for the safe transfer of a pediatric trauma patient. Begin by immobilizing the cervical spine with the correctly sized collar and lateral supports. Establish 1-2 IV lines and secure all medical devices, including ETT, Foley catheter, and splints. Ensure that all labs and diagnostic results are prepared for transfer and that relevant charts and radiographic studies are copied. Update the medical team on the patient's condition and ensure parental consent is obtained. Have the memorandum of transfer finalized and ready.
