AB Mechanical  ventilation  of  the  critically  ill  patient  is  best  practiced  in  the  safe  confines  of  the  intensive  care  unit  (ICU).  Transport  of  ventilated  patients,  however,  remains  a  frequent  challenge.  Successful  transport  requires  effective  communication,  appropriate  planning,  key  personnel,  and  compact,  rugged  equipment.  Clinicians  should  be  aware  of  the  physiologic  effects  of  transport,  frequency  of  adverse  events,  and  methods  to  prevent  complications.
