About
This document is about safely transporting children in ambulances. It describes guidelines and a decision-making flowchart for different situations, like if a child is uninjured, injured but stable, or needs intensive care. The protocol advises using size-appropriate child seats and avoiding unsafe methods like holding a child on someone's lap. It suggests securing children properly to cots and using special restraints when needed. For multiple patients, it recommends separate transport if possible. The focus is on ensuring children's safety during ambulance rides by following specific rules and considering each child's age and weight for proper restraint systems.
