Objective To explore the role of nursing safety management in the transportation process of critically ill newborns. Methods 120 critically ill newborns admitted to our hospital from September 2022 to July 2023 were included. They were divided into a control group (conventional transport management) and an observation group (nursing safety management) in the order of admission of critically ill newborns, with 60 cases in each group. The incidence of adverse events during transport and the satisfaction of families with the transport situation were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of adverse events such as changes in vital signs, unplanned extubation, and unclear handover in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the differences between the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The satisfaction scores of family members in the observation group were higher than those in the control group in terms of disease notification, transportation technology, transportation process, transportation time, and service attitude, and the differences between the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Implementing nursing safety management during the transportation of critically ill newborns has certain application value, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of adverse transportation events and improve family satisfaction.
