Overview
Hospital rapid response teams are "multidisciplinary team most frequently consisting of intensive care unit trained personnel who are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for evaluation of patients who develop signs or symptoms of severe clinical deterioration."[1][2][3] A Medical emergency team includes a physician.[2]
Structure
Hospital rapid response teams have four components:[4]
- The afferent limb identifies clinical deterioration in patients and triggers a response.
- The efferent limb "is the response, which includes both the personnel and the equipment brought to the patient."
- Patient safety and quality improvement constitute the third component, which monitors performance of the system and provides feedback.
- Administration and governance
Afferent limb
Efferent limb
The presence of a physician may not improve effectiveness.[5]
Effectiveness
The use of hospital rapid response teams may[6][5][7] or may[8] not be associated with reduced mortality according to meta-analyses. The only randomized controlled trial showed no benefit.[9]
