Preparation for Transport of Intubated Patient

• Secure endotracheal tube using tape or ties; mark at the level of teeth and record level
• Use bite block to prevent airway obstruction due to biting on the tube
• Stabilize the patient on the transport ventilator using pulse oximetry, expired CO2, and/or arterial blood gas
• Provide sedation and analgesia (+/- muscle relaxant) during the transport for patient comfort and immobility
