AB  - KEY  POINTSA  demand  on  the  limited  number  of  ICU  beds  requires  more  acute  and  complex  patient  care  to  be  delivered  on  the  general  wards,  outside  of  the  ICU.Rapid  response  systems  are  designed  to  address  this  goal  and  rapid  response  teams  (RRTs)  or  medical  emergency  teams  (METs)  have  become  increasingly  prevalent  in  the  US  hospital  systems  as  the  means  to  intervene  in  the  care  of  hospitalized  patients  with  acute  clinical  deterioration.The  identification  of  prearrest  physiology  such  as  abnormal  vital  signs,  or  a  sudden  change  in  vital  signs,  can  help  identify  clinical  deterioration  minutes  to  hours  before  a  serious  adverse  event,  often  providing  sufficient  time  to  deliver  an  intervention.The  Society  of  Critical  Care  Medicine  has  identified  the  5  principal  admitting  ICU  diagnoses  as  respiratory  failure  or  insufficiency,  the  need  for  postoperative  management,  ischemic  heart  disorders,  sepsis,  and  decompensated  heart  failure.  The  correlating  rapid  response  triggers  for  these  conditions  are  often  identified  as  hypotension,  altered  mental  status,  and  respiratory  distress.
