ABSTRACT
Because of the widespread development and application of rapid response system (RRS) in medical institutions in developed countries, such as Europe, America and Australia, the clinical adverse events (cardiac arrest, accidental death, etc.) in hospital patients have been reduced and improved. Meanwhile, the hospitalization rate and mortality rate of intensive care unit in hospital patients have been reduced, thus shortening the hospitalization time and reducing the medical expenses. Nevertheless, RRS is still in the exploration stage in our country. Therefore, the article reviews the RRS model and application development.
ABSTRACT
We established the rapid response system for non-hospitalized patients from 2012 in order to improve the effectiveness of emergent critical care for non-hospitalized patients when emergency happened.From January 2013 to December 2016,there were 122 cases with RRS activation for non-hospitalized patients.The time to arrive was 3.16±0.41 min,and 107 cases(86.89％)were sent to the emergency department.Fifteen patients(14.02％)were classified as level 1,26(24.03％)as level Ⅱ,48(16.82％)as level Ⅲ,and 18(16.82％) as level ⅣV,and 83％ were critical patients.Rapid response system is important to cope with emergency in non-hospitalized patients.
