Impact of introduction of an ICU-led Medical Emergency Team (MET) service: Single cohort analysis at a metropolitan teaching hospital

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This cohort analysis reviews MET call activity before and after the creation of an ICU-led MET service that provides visible 24-hour response to physiologic deterioration in adult patients in a metropolitan teaching hospital. We describe significant features of non-obstetric adult population requiring MET activation and suggest areas for future study.
