Rapid response teams for hospitalized patients: who benefits
This trial looks at how hospital rapid response teams should be used and which hospitalized patients benefit most. If you’re an adult on a general ward and need urgent help, the study may help hospitals respond faster in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently admitted to a regular hospital ward (not special units).
- A rapid response team was called because you need urgent medical attention.
- You were admitted when the call happened (not still waiting to be seen, and not an outpatient).
- You were admitted to the hospital, not to the delivery ward or anesthetic-related areas (like ICU or operating areas).
- You can be randomized (assigned to the study group) at the time of the call.
