[Deployment of the in-hospital emergency team in a tertiary care university hospital : Data analysis for the time period 2013-2016 in North-Rhine/Westphalia].

CONCLUSION: Analysis of data revealed that the number of MET calls, total operating time and average deployment time increased from 2013 to 2016. The primary reason for MET activations was collapse or syncope and every 17th deployment was for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrests decreased during the study period. PMID: 30969357 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
