Subject: Pediatric transfers

Appreciate any help in defining transfer criteria for pediatric patients to a trauma center.  As a level III trauma center without a Pediatric ICU or Pediatric intensivists we need to define criteria for who we keep and who we send.  The nearest Level I is approx 1 hr away by ground.  Would appreciate anyone who would be able to share their criteria.
