isolette transports - non neonate question

[Mark Frederick]

The isolette we use has a pediatric conversion option.  The bubble is
removable and replaced by a mattress, which allows us to still use the
monitor, vent, air / oxy cylinder and all the other isolette options.
This will accommodate a child up to 50 pounds.

Subject: isolette transports - non neonate question

Greetings - I'm looking for input on how other teams transport little
ones (not in the nursery/NICU), but from the ER/peds floors (i.e. kid is
a few weeks old, but still "little" - Especially for those under 10 or
so pounds, do you bring an isolette vs. porta-warmers & pedi-mates? Any
experiences welcomed
thanx!
