Impactos dos times de resposta rápida no âmbito hospitalar: uma revisão da literátura

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The growing adoption of RRT as a response to the need for rapid interventions in the face of clinical deterioration in patients. METHODOLOGY: this is a bibliographic review and documentary analysis of relevant studies in a period between 2015 and 2023. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of RRT in improving clinical outcomes and increasing patient safety. The importance of early intervention of RRTs is discussed, which prevents progression to serious adverse events, and how continuous training and an open organizational culture are crucial to the success of these teams. RESULTS: Studies show that the presence of RRT is associated with a significant reduction in cardiorespiratory arrests outside the ICU and in hospital mortality. Additionally, the trust and safety perceived by healthcare professionals are improved, promoting a collaborative and responsive work environment. However, implementation faces challenges such as the need for investment in training and overcoming cultural barriers within hospitals. Research results indicate that the effectiveness of RRT is maximized when there are continuous monitoring systems and regular feedback, ensuring the application of best practices. CONCLUSION: reaffirms the importance of RRT as an effective and necessary intervention for continuous improvement in the quality of hospital care, highlighting the need for continuous investments and the promotion of an organizational culture that favors quick and collaborative action. Thus, RRT can significantly transform patient safety and the quality of health services, consolidating itself as an essential strategy in the hospital environment.
