Abstract

Objective To conduct a scoping review of studies on the factors influencing the adverse events of intra-hospital transfers of critically ill patients, and to provide reference for future related studies and applications. Methods Following the scoping guidelines published by the Joanna Briggs Institute in Australia as the methodological framework, we retrieved literature from CNKI, WanFang Database, VIP Database, China Biomedical Literature Service System, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL, with a retrieval time spanning from the inception to 30 November 2024. Literature were analyzed and summarized. Results Twenty-seven studies were included. Factors influencing adverse events of intra-hospital transfer of critically ill patients included patient-related factors, therapeutic factors, transfer system resource allocation, and transfer process. Conclusion This study reveals the multifactorial mechanisms influencing the adverse events of intra-hospital transfers of critically ill patients, highlighting the importance of thorough patient assessment and preparation prior to the transfer. Currently, there are fewer multicenter, prospective, large-sample studies on the factors influencing the adverse events of intra-hospital transport of critically ill patients in China, and we recommend future multicenter collaborative research with standardized data collection systems to provide more robust evidence for developing scientific, standardized guidelines for intra-hospital transfer of critical patients.
