5 1. Introduction With over 1000 calls and 475 retrievals, 2011 has been the busiest year in the 32 year history of the Victorian Paediatric Emergency Transport Service. The Victorian Paediatric Emergency Transport Service (PETS) transfers critically ill children from hospitals throughout Victoria, Tasmania, and southern New South Wales for life saving treatment to the Royal Children s Hospital and to Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne. Operating out of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit of the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, PETS brings the highly specialized, world class resources of paediatric intensive care to critically ill children in Victoria and beyond providing safe, expert, emergency inter hospital transfer to a paediatric intensive care unit. PETS staff also give telephone advice to doctors, nurses, and ambulance personnel on the resuscitation of severely ill children thus making a unique specialist resource available to healthcare workers throughout all of Victoria. PETS is available 24 hours a day for advice and for retrieval of critically ill children in Victoria, Tasmania, and Southern New South Wales. Hotline Website The PETS Activity Report has been published annually since Following this edition, publication will occur after the end of the financial year in line government health care planning. 4
6 2. History of Paediatric Emergency Transport in Victoria, Australia Victoria has an area of 227,600 square km (87,884 square miles, roughly the size of the United Kingdom) and a population of 5.4 million, of whom 4 million live in greater Melbourne. 1.2 million of the 5 million are children (< 17 years). Victorian PETS covers all of Victoria, southern New South Wales and northern Tasmania. The total population of this area is about 6 million (approx. 1.5 million children), living within 600 km of the base of operations. On occasion, PETS may also retrieve children from other paediatric ICUs in Australia for treatment available only at the RCH Melbourne. Tertiary paediatric services in Victoria are located at the Royal Children s Hospital (RCH) and at Monash Medical Centre (MMC), both in Melbourne. Large general hospitals are located in regional cities and in central and suburban Melbourne. Many of these have paediatric departments and paediatric wards, with senior and junior paediatric medical staff, but not tertiary paediatric services. Smaller towns around the state usually lack specialist paediatric facilities; hospitals in these towns are staffed by general practitioners. In 1976, a Neonatal Emergency Transport Service (NETS), based at the Royal Women s Hospital, began transporting ill newborn babies from hospitals around Victoria to tertiary neonatal intensive care units in the Royal Women s, Royal Children s, Mercy Maternity and Queen Victoria Hospitals in Melbourne, immediately reducing mortality and morbidity rates in Victorian newborns. A paediatric emergency transport service, based at the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit of the Royal Children s Hospital, Melbourne, subsequently began operations in 1979, retrieving 46 patients in that year. In 2011, PETS received over 1000 phone calls and transferred more than 450 critically ill children. In November 2011, the Royal Children s Hospital moved into a new, purpose built facility, next door to the old hospital. In the process, NETS, PERS (the Perinatal Emergency Referral Service) and PETS moved into a joint office. It is envisaged that the three services will establish a single point of access for call co ordination and, eventually, amalgamate clinical operations in the future. 5
7 3. PETS Team PETS is staffed by the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of the Royal Children s Hospital Melbourne. This allows clinical advice and treatment during retrieval to be given by experienced and highly specialised teams. PICU thus comes to the child before the child can be moved to the PICU. Organisation PETS clinical operations are overseen by a medical director and a senior nurse clinician. They are supported by the PETS administrator. Transport staff All transfers are performed by a PICU doctor and a PETS nurse or by a PICU doctor and a paramedic. Medical staff are either experienced registrars (>4 years training in paediatrics, intensive care, anaesthesia or emergency medicine) with extra training in retrieval medicine or, in some highly complex retrievals such as transport on extracorporeal life support (ECMO), they are senior ICU specialists from the RCH PICU. PETS nurses are very experienced nursing staff with a strong background in looking after critically ill children as well as in retrieval nursing. They have undertaken a 1 year post graduate specialist course in PICU nursing, attended a PETS Workshop, Air Ambulance Orientation, and completed a Competency Package. Many nurses have also completed the Introduction to Aeromedical Retrieval Course through Monash University and the Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS) Course. 6
8 4. Outreach Education The successful and sought after PETS Outreach Education programme, organised by the PETS clinical nurse clinician, continued in The programme is available to hospitals throughout Victoria, Tasmania and southern New South Wales. In 2011, full day seminars were conducted at the following hospitals: Albury, Colac, Hamilton, Austin, John Fawkner (x3), and Sunshine. PETS has also provided separate education sessions to Sunshine Hospital, Latrobe Private Hospital, Monash University Paediatric Nursing Course and Emergency Nursing Course, The Royal Children s Hospital Recognising the Sick Child Workshops, Paediatric Nursing Course, and Paediatric Intensive Care Nursing Course. PETS nurses have been involved in Trauma Outreach Seminars which in 2011 were conducted in: Ballarat, Bendigo, Hamilton, Benalla, and Churchill. Regularly recurring education events include the PETS orientation and workshops for new PICU registrars and PICU nurses conducted each February and August. This also involves orientation to Air Ambulance, including tutorials at Essendon airport. 7
9 5. Service Development PETS continued to review and update its operations in Centre stage took the ongoing work towards amalgamation with the Newborn Emergency Transport Service which is set to continue in At the same time, the move into the New Royal Children Hospital in November represented a once in a lifetime event for our staff. PETS maintained full operational readiness on and around move day. PETS also served as an invaluable resource to the RCH with the PETS Senior Nurse Clinician and Dr Robert Henning, long time PETS director, taking lead roles in planning the move of critically ill patients in the RCH PICU. Other initiatives included the streamlining of clinical operating procedures and revisions of the PETS database. PETS was also active in telemedicine linking with the Southwest Region via SWARHnet and trialling a tablet device for video communication between retrieval team and base of operations. 6. ECLS Retrievals Transport of critically ill children on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) "heart lung machines" is a challenging undertaking of extreme complexity and only performed by a few selected centres worldwide. The Victorian Paediatric Emergency Transport Service in cooperation with the RCH PICU and the Cardiac Surgery Unit, have been able to offer this service to eligible patients in Victoria and throughout Australia. PETS teams consisting of a senior PETS nurse and a senior PICU doctor, a paediatric cardiac surgeon and a paediatric cardiac perfusionist travel emergently to critically ill children, place or transfer them on to mobile extracorporeal life support equipment and retrieve them the RCH PICU. In 2011, 7 children were transported on ECLS and retrieved from the following hospitals: 8
10 Adelaide Women s & Children s (SA), Sydney Children's Hospital Randwick (Sydney, NSW), Princess Margaret Hospital (Perth, WA), Wangaratta Hospital (VIC), Dandenong Hospital and Monash Medical Centre (both VIC). Patient diagnoses included: cardiomyopathy/myocarditis, ARDS pneumonia, and meconium aspiration. All patients survived the transfer to the Royal Children s Hospital and 5 survived to discharge from the Royal Children s Hospital. In total, 34 patients have been transferred by PETS on ECLS since

27 12. Conclusion PETS delivers a highly specialised service to the children of Victoria and beyond. Giving clinicians throughout the state ready access to the expertise of PICU specialists at the Royal Children's Hospital and taking the skills, knowledge and resources of paediatric intensive care to critically ill paediatric patients, PETS makes a unique contribution to the healthcare of some of Victoria's sickest children has been the busiest year on record in the history of the Victorian Paediatric Emergency Transport Service with over 1000 referral calls and 475 retrievals. At the same time, the service moved into the New Royal Children's Hospital and continued its education and improvement initiatives. In this context, PETS is looking forward to continuing to streamline operations in close cooperation with NETS and in consultation with stakeholders in government and the Victorian healthcare sector.
