Summary

This pilot study looked at how the forces of acceleration and braking in an ambulance affect the vital signs and medication delivery in critically ill children. Nine children with arterial lines were monitored during transport. The goal was to see if G-forces cause changes in heart rate, blood pressure, or oxygen levels, and if they interfere with drug infusions.
