“…A similar discrepancy between perceived and actual difficulty has been shown in a large United States survey of 110 retrieval teams. 13 Thirty six per cent of teams who do not allow parental accompaniment predict potential problems with this practice; however, difficulties are reported by only 8% of teams who allow accompaniment. 13 It has also been shown that parental presence in the accident and emergency setting does not adversely affect clinical performance or increase anxiety among the attending staff.…”

“…10 11 Reluctance to allow parental accompaniment may be for a variety of reasons, including lack of space in the ambulance, the potential for inducing stress in both staff and parents (particularly in an emergency), and even diversion of staff's attention from the patient. 12 13 The South Thames Retrieval Service is one of the largest paediatric retrieval services in the UK, undertaking approximately 600 retrievals per year. 14 A recent postal survey of 233 parents revealed a high degree of satisfaction with the service; however, a recurrent theme that emerged was the level of parental distress as a consequence of separation from their child during the transfer period.…”

“…Emergency medical services and ED policies vary on parental presence during emergency transport or during medical procedures in the ED (Lewis, Holditch-Davis, & Brussen, 1997;Sacchetti, Lichtenstein, Carraccio, & Harris, 1996;Woodward & Fleegler, 2001). The ED staff 's encouragement of parent presence and the availability of supports for parents during treatment and transport can positively affect a family's experience of a crisis (Sacchetti et al, 1996;Woodward & Fleegler, 2000).…”

Abstract. Objective: To address the mental health needs of children involved in emergency medical services (EMS). Methods: A multidisciplinary consensus conference convened to identify mental health needs of children and their families related to pediatric medical emergencies, to examine the impact of psychological aspects of emergencies on recovery and satisfaction with care, and to delineate research questions related to mental health aspects of medical emergencies involving children. Results: The consensus group found that psychological and behavioral factors affect physical as well as emotional recovery after medical emergencies. Children's reactions are critically affected by age and developmental level, characteristics of the emergency medical event, and parent reactions. As frontline health care providers, EMS staff members are in a pivotal position to recognize and effectively manage the mental health needs of patients and their families. Conclusions: Ecological changes in emergency departments, such as linkages to mental health follow-up services, training of EMS providers and mental health professionals, and focused research that provides an empirical basis for practice, are necessary components for improving current standards of health care.

“…La transparence dans la régulation et le fait de bien se connaître entre pédiatres permettent d'éviter les malentendus concernant l'orientation pour l'hospitalisation du nouveau-né. Actuellement, les parents n'accompagnent pas leur enfant lors du transfert par TIIH, même si cela est théoriquement possible et proposé par ailleurs [11,12]. L'absence de tarification spécifique des TIIH par la sécurité sociale fait craindre des difficultés financières pour pérenniser le système.…”

Le transport interhospitalier d'un nouveau-né est une période à risque de déstabilisation de l'état de l'enfant. La décision de transfert est d'ordre médical et demande une analyse des risques et des bénéfices par un médecin pédiatre ou une sage-femme qui connaît parfaitement le niveau de transport requis (médicalisé, infirmier, ambulancier) et les protocoles mis en place. Le transport sans aucun accompagnement médical ou paramédical est rarement adapté à la période néonatale. Le niveau de transport infirmier interhospitalier (TIIH) concerne des nouveau-nés dont l'état est stabilisé, transférés vers un service néonatal pour poursuite des soins ou pour rapprochement familial. Nous rapportons notre expérience de mise en place des TIIH néonatals dans le bassin de vie de la métropole de Lille avec les protocoles mis à jour depuis 2006. Mots clés Transport néonatal infirmierAbstract The interhospital transport of newborn is a risky period in terms of destabilization of the state of the child. The transfer decision is taken from a medical point of view and requires a risk and benefit analysis by a pediatrician or midwife who perfectly knows the required level of transport (medicalized nursing, paramedic) and protocol set-up. A transfer without any medical or paramedical support is rarely adapted to the neonatal period. The level of a nurse interhospital transport (TIIH) is for newborns whose condition is stabilized and they require a transfer to a neonatal unit for further care or for family reunion. This is based on our experience in setting up TIIH for neonatals in the area of Lille equipped with better protocols since 2006.
