Objective: To evaluate the impact of the implementation of a rapid response team on the rate of cardiorespiratory arrests in mortality associated with cardiorespiratory arrests and on in-hospital mortality in a high complexity general hospital.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of cardiorespiratory arrests and in-hospital mortality events before and after implementation of a rapid response team. The period analyzed covered 19 months before intervention by the team (August 2005 to February 2007) and 19 months after the intervention (March 2007 to September 2008).

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Joyce Assis Polessi"

  • - Joyce Assis Polessi's research primarily focuses on the effectiveness of rapid response teams in healthcare settings, particularly their role in reducing cardiopulmonary arrest incidents and associated mortality rates.
  • - In her 2013 study, she conducted a retrospective analysis comparing the frequency of cardiopulmonary arrests and in-hospital mortality rates before and after the implementation of a rapid response team in a high complexity general hospital.
  • - The findings indicated a significant reduction in the rates of cardiorespiratory arrests and related mortality following the intervention of the rapid response team, highlighting the importance of such teams in improving patient outcomes in hospital settings.
