Sufficient communication between hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) teams is pivotal for a successful advanced support in the PICU for HSCT-related complications. We evaluated perceived communication and barriers between both teams with the aim of providing recommendations for improvement. In this cross‐sectional survey, a self‐designed online questionnaire was distributed among ESPNIC and EBMT members. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Over half of HSCT respondents employed a transfer indication protocol and patient assessment tool, but less structured checklist prior to patient transfer. Nearly all PICU respondents perceived this checklist as improvement for communication. Most HSCT and PICU physicians have daily rounds upon patient transfer while this is mostly missing between nursing teams. Half of both HSCT and PICU nurses indicated that HSCT training for PICU nurses could improve communication and patient transfer. Most respondents indicated that structured meetings between HSCT and PICU nurses could improve communication. Overall there is good communication between HSCT and PICU units, although barriers were noted between members of both teams. Based on our findings, we recommend use of a structured and specific checklist by HSCT teams, HSCT training for PICU personnel, and structured meetings between HSCT and PICU nurses.Citation
