Critical Care Response Team
Critical care rapid response team is a team of specially trained practitioners who work collaboratively with hospital ward staff to identify, assess and respond to the needs of seriously ill patients before developing progressive and irreversible deterioration.
CCRT is activated to stabilize the patient's condition, integrate their care with the primary team, and provide education and support.
CCRT Aims to reduce cardiac arrests outside the ICUs. The CCRT team comprises ICU consultants, ICU staff physicians, critical care nurses, & ICU respiratory therapists.
CCRT was established in 2007, which reduced cardiac arrests in the wards, decreased complications, and expedited emergency service for emergency patients.
