ABSTRACT
This article traces the historical development of neonatal transport, from ancient Greek mythology to the modern era, with a particular focus on the contributions of U.S. military aviation. The narrative begins with early efforts in thermoregulation through stationary incubators and progresses to the pivotal role of aerial hospitals during World War II. Post-WWII, the establishment of neonatal transport services in New York and advancements in incubator technology set the stage for further innovation. The U.S. military's involvement in neonatal transport, initiated in the 1970s, witnessed significant milestones, including the adaptation of ECMO technology for air transport. The narrative unfolds through the lens of U.S. military neonatology in the Western Pacific, particularly at Clark Air Base. The article concludes with insights into the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command's neonatal transport mission, highlighting challenges faced during the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic and the development of specialized infection containment transport systems.
