What is Rapid Response Teams?

The efferent component is a rapid response team – a multidisciplinary team trained in early resuscitation interventions, and advanced life support that rushes to the deteriorating patient's bedside to prevent respiratory and cardiac arrest in order to improve the patient's outcomes.

The physiologic parameters identified to initiate a RRT call were: 1. Heart rate less than 45 or greater than 120 2. Systolic blood pressure less than 90mmhg 3. Respiratory rate less than 10 or greater than 28 4.

Background. Rapid response teams represent an intuitively simple concept: When a patient demonstrates signs of imminent clinical deterioration, a team of providers is summoned to the bedside to immediately assess and treat the patient with the goal of preventing intensive care unit transfer, cardiac arrest, or death

RRTs may have flaws due to the presence of sociocultural barriers, delayed efferent team activations, lack of experience, and lack of training. These factors may interfere with the increased occurrence of CRAs, ICU admissions, length of hospital stay, and hospital mortality.
