Medical Emergency Response Teams

Medical Emergency Response Teams (MERTs) are specialized groups of healthcare professionals trained to respond rapidly to medical emergencies within a facility or community. They provide immediate assessment, life-saving interventions, and coordinate urgent care until further medical help arrives. MERTs are essential for reducing response times and ensuring prompt, effective treatment during crises like cardiac arrests, severe injuries, or other critical health situations. They operate with the goal of stabilizing patients quickly, improving survival outcomes, and supporting overall emergency preparedness in hospitals, workplaces, or public spaces.
