Effectiveness of rapid response teams on rates of in‐hospital cardiopulmonary arrest and mortality: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Abstract: BACKGROUND In 2004, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's 100,000 Lives Campaign recommended that hospitals implement rapid response teams (RRTs) charged with identifying non–intensive care unit (ICU) patients at risk for rapid deterioration. Although RRTs are now in widespread use, there have been conflicting results regarding the impact of RRTs on hospital mortality and cardiopulmonary arrest. PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness of RRTs on reducing hospital mortality and non‐ICU cardiopulmonary arrest r… Show more

“…Rapid response teams (RRTs) were designed to rapidly deploy critical care resources to deteriorating patients outside critical care areas around the clock and have been associated with decreases in cardiac arrest rates outside the ICU, and, in some studies, in-hospital mortality (7). In theory, RRTs could ameliorate the day-night disparity in care.…”
