Does a physician-led rapid response team program reduce mortality in children requiring unplanned admission to the PICU?
Implementation of a physician-led rapid response team is associated with reduced mortality, lower admission severity of illness, and shorter length of stay for unplanned pediatric intensive care unit admissions.
Supports physician-led RRT consideration in pediatrics; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of mortality benefit.
