Sažetak
Infant transport has been carried out in Slovenia since 1976. Applying the principles of safe transport was essential to
avoid unexpected exposure of critically ill infants to unnecessary and adverse events. Besides organizational and technical
prerequisites for safe transportation, evidence-based clinical knowledge and practical competence are of utmost importance.
Furthermore, the ongoing possibility of consulting other colleagues during transportation, choose the optimal form
of retrieval of very sick infants, is sometimes needed and preferred. Three different cases are presented here where skilled
medical teams decided how to transport critically ill infants, and at what risks and costs. All three transports were successfully
completed with good outcomes despite difficult clinical conditions prior to and during retrieval.
