Summary
RESCUE events, when patients require transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU) from acute care and need resuscitation with noninvasive or invasive positive pressure ventilation and/or blood pressure support, are associated with a 14.3% mortality risk at Seattle Children’s Hospital (SCH). Of 456 rapid response calls in 2012, 191 (41.9%) calls resulted in a transfer to the ICU. Of these transfers, 98 (51%) met the criteria for a RESCUE event. There was a failure in both recognition and response to clinical deterioration despite having a rapid response team (RRT). There was no effective and systematic method to identify and respond to early clinical deterioration to prevent a RESCUE event in the hospital.
