Objective  To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of the active transport of critically ill newborns based on principle of S.T.A.B.L.E.

  Methods  A total of 133 critically ill newborns were collected as study objects, and were divided into control group (65 cases, passive transport mode) and observation group (68 cases, active transport mode based on S.T.A.B.L.E. principle). The implementation rate of first-aid measures for neonates before hospital, incidence rates of hypothermia and hypoglycemia during transport were compared between the two groups, and cure rates of the two groups were followed up after transport.

  Results  The rate of respiratory management, circulating support rate, drug application rate and laboratory examination rate in the observation group were 89.71%, 83.82%, 57.35% and 91.18%, respectively, which were higher than 61.54%, 64.62%, 29.23% and 64.62%, respectively in the control group (P < 0.05). During transport, the hypothermia rate was 1.47% and hypoglycemia rate was 1.47% in the observation group, which were lower than 15.38%, 12.31%, respectively in the control group (P < 0.05). The cure rate of the observation group was 72.06%, which was higher than 47.69% of the control group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Active transport mode based on S.T.A.B.L.E. principle can standardize emergency measures, stabilize temperature and blood sugar during neonatal transport, and improve prognosis.
