ABSTRACT
The lack of accurate detection and effective treatment of the deteriorating patient is known as failure to rescue, which leads to adverse events such as urgent admission to the ICU, cardiac arrest and death. In 1995, Rapid Response Teams (RRT) were created in Australia, a system that involves the activation of an emergency code in the presence of signs of deterioration. A positive impact has been demonstrated in several clinical studies by decreasing the incidence of in hospital cardiac arrest. The implementation of scores based on vital signs has been proposed for the detection of this cases, which trigger a response to provide medical assessment by trained personnel in advanced resuscitation. There are around 33 scores, of which NEWS (National Early Warning Score) has shown better predictive value of adverse events.
