How Rapid Response Does ART: Airway Response Team

Activity Summary

Historically, cases in which inpatients requiring definitive airway management before transfer to a critical care unit necessitate deploying the medical emergency response team. Since 2019 we rely on the airway response team (ART), a small interdisciplinary team of our own design, for a streamlined approach to airway management. With engaged stakeholders, we continually review our process, and our data show significant improvement both in patient outcomes and team dynamics.

Objectives

List the resources needed to design a specialized team of experts for emergency airway management.
Describe the complexity of medical management during airway emergencies.
Acquire tools to evaluate and improve interdisciplinary team dynamics.
