AB  - Patients  admitted  to  modern  hospitals  may  develop  serious  adverse  events  in  up  to  20%  of  admissions.  In  addition,  hospitalized  patients  can  deteriorate  unexpectedly  due  to  the  development  of  a  new  problem.In  a  high  percentage  of  cases,  deterioration  is  gradual  in  onset  and  is  associated  with  the  development  of  derangement  in  the  patient's  vital  signs.Many  hospitals  have  introduced  Rapid  Response  Teams  (RRTs)  to  review  deteriorating  patients  when  they  develop  derangements  in  vital  signs  that  fulfill  predefined  criteria.Evidence  for  the  effectiveness  of  RRTs  is  conflicting,  and  the  optimal  team  composition  and  thresholds  for  activation  remain  undetermined.
