Rapid Response Team Stories

[juliav]

Hi All,

I am looking to hear bout some Rapid Response Team stories from all points if view, both the responders and the bedside nurses. Does anyone have any interesting stories?

Thanks,

Does your hospitals require a RRT to be called for all patient falls regardless of how serious they are? I work in the ED, but hear rapids being called all the time followed by lift team to such and such floor, seems kind of redundant. But I agree with all the other posts about when in doubt, ask for assistance.

Yes we are called for falls. Especially unwitnessed ones. Usually for all falls except for ER.
