Modern Neonatal Transport: Sound and Vibration Levels and Their Impact on Physiological Stability.

Objective: To measure sound and vibration in rotary wing air transport (RWAT) and ground ambulance transport (GAT), comparing them to current recommendations, and correlating them with physiological stability measures in transported neonates.

Study Design: This is a prospective cohort observational study including infants ≤ 7 days of age transported over an 8-month period. Infants with neurologic conditions were excluded.
