Abstract
The inclusion of nurse practitioners (NPs) in critical care transport teams has the potential to enhance patient care and improve team operations. NPs can manage complex clinical situations during transport and excel in various roles such as leadership, education, mentoring, research, quality improvement, and clinical expertise. As we navigate the evolving landscape of critical care transport, it is crucial to explore the potential benefits offered by NPs. Their distinct skills and experiences effectively position them to improve patient outcomes, enhance team performance, and contribute to health care's financial sustainability. This article discusses the role of NPs in critical care transport, providing insight into their current uses, and recommendations for optimal use.
