AB  - AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the graded 
      transport mode in the intrahospital transport (IHT) of critically ill patients. 
      METHODS: This is a retrospective study, including 800 patients and categorized 
      them into control and observation groups. The control group included 420 
      critically ill patients who were transported via conventional methods from our 
      emergency resuscitation unit from June 2017 to December 2017. The observation 
      group included 380 critically ill patients who were transported through a graded 
      transport mode from January 2018 to June 2018. We performed intergroup 
      comparisons of the incidence rates and causes of adverse events (AEs), transport 
      time, length of stay, and mortality rate. RESULTS: The observation group had 
      significantly lower transport time and AE incidence rates than the control group. 
      However, no significant differences were observed in terms of the length of stay 
      and mortality rate between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The most notable merits of 
      the graded transport mode in the IHT of critical care patients include the fact 
      that it significantly reduces the incidence of AEs during IHT, shortens the 
      transport time, and improves transport efficiency, thereby ensuring the safety of 
      critically ill patients.
