This study aims to characterize the population receiving Rapid Response Team (RRT) interventions in the Emergency Department (ED) and compare outcomes with non-ED RRTs.
Reviewed 200 consecutive RRTs in 2022 at an urban academic institution.
Analyzed patient demographics and RRT characteristics, focusing on outcomes like hospital mortality and length-of-stay.
Used statistical methods such as chi-square, Fisher exact test, Wilcoxon rank-sum, and Stata 15.1 for analyses.
Identified 80 ED RRTs and 98 non-ED RRTs with similar baseline demographics except for race.
ED RRT patients had a higher likelihood of being escalated to invasive mechanical ventilation.
Non-ED RRTs had significantly longer hospital lengths-of-stay, but no difference in hospital mortality was observed between groups.
