CRITICAL CARE TRANSPORTATION (CCT) SUMMARY:
CCT is a distinct specialty in the provision of out-of-hospital care. CCT provides additional resources necessary for patients who are clinically unstable or have the potential for life threatening clinical instability. In addition, the patients may require more advanced and specialized provider knowledge, training, and experience, as well as diagnostic and interventional capabilities, equipment and therapeutics. Both the CCT agency and CCT clinical providers must have sufficient capabilities to meet the expected and potential medical needs of critical care patients at referral hospitals as well as during transport.
A patient requiring CCT has a critical illness or injury that acutely impairs one or more vital organ systems such that there is a high probability of imminent or life-threatening deterioration in the patient's condition during transport. Examples of vital organ system failure that may contribute to morbidity or mortality include, but are not limited to central nervous system failure, circulatory failure, shock, renal, hepatic, metabolic, and/or respiratory failure.
