Rapid Response Team

Special Support to Prevent Emergencies

During your stay, you have access to a special service called the Rapid Response Team. You can call this service, and a critical-care team will check on you or your loved one and provide help before there is a life-threatening emergency.

When to Call Rapid Response Team

Call for help if you notice:

• change in heart rate or blood pressure
  
• change in respiratory (breathing) rate or oxygen levels
  
• very low urine output
  
• change in mental status or level of consciousness
• any change in the patient’s condition that needs immediate attention and the health care team is not responding, or if you continue to have serious concerns after speaking with the health care team

Remember, it's also OK to call any time you are worried something might be wrong.
