Infant Transport Paramedic

Infant Transport Team (ITT)

The Infant Transport Team (ITT) provides the resources and expertise available at a tertiary care centre to the referring hospital, where a high risk maternity, neonatal, or pediatric patient may require advanced treatment and stabilization prior to transport. Paramedics specially trained in the care and transport of these high-risk patients form the base of the Infant Transport Team. The BC Ambulance Service Provincial Air Coordination Centre, in conjunction with a Medical Coordinator from B.C. Women's Hospital, the Special Care Nursery, or Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at B.C.'s Children's Hospital arrange for the transport to an appropriate facility.
