Indications and measures of medical emergency teams: a retrospective evaluation of in-hospital emergency operations of the German Resuscitation Register.
The present study examines characteristics and interventions of medical emergency teams (MET) in in-hospital emergency care. ⋯ Current in-hospital emergency care requires special skills in invasive hemodynamic and airway interventions. Recommendations from professional societies are necessary to optimize equipment (e.g. videolaryngoscopy, invasive blood pressure management), training, care algorithms and staff composition against the background of an increasing shortage of resources in the healthcare system.
