RRT (Rapid Response Team)

A Rapid Response Team (RRT) is a specialized group of healthcare professionals in hospitals who are quickly called when a patient shows signs of sudden deterioration, like difficulty breathing or unconsciousness. Their goal is to intervene early, assess the patient, and provide urgent care to prevent the situation from worsening or leading to a cardiac arrest. By acting swiftly, RRTs help improve patient outcomes, reduce complications, and ensure timely medical attention before the patient's condition becomes critical.
