ground transfer


Explanation:
*Transfer* for *Zuverlegung* which denominates an interhospital referral (e.g. to a tertiary care center) rather than merely *transport*.

In general, air transfer was used for greater distances (57 ± 50 miles), compared with *ground transfer* (26 ± 28 miles). No patient died or required cardiopulmonary resuscitation during transfer, and minor events during transfer were observed in only three patients.

Safe long-distance interhospital *ground transfer* of critically ill patients with acute severe unstable respiratory and circulatory failure.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12185435

ECMO effectively enabled high-risk *ground transfer* of severely hypoxic patients.

Similar delays were encountered with interhospital air and *ground transfer* in the Air Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction study...

Road transport has the advantage of low overall cost, rapid mobilisation time, less
disruption from adverse weather conditions, less potential for physiological
disturbance and easier patient monitoring. Staff are also more familiar with this
environment.

Air transport should be considered for longer journeys, where road access is difficult
or when, for other reasons, it may be quicker. Perceived speed of air transport
must be balanced against organisational delays and inter-vehicle transfers at either
end of the journey.
