Abstract Objecti6es: To determine whether the introduction of the Medical Emergency Team (MET) system designed to provide immediate help for seriously ill patients: (i) changed the pattern of ICU patient transfers from the wards; and (ii) improved hospital survival rates. Methods: Prospective information on MET calls and unanticipated ICU transfers was collected for 3 years in a suburban metropolitan hospital. Results: A 3-year review of MET showed the number of MET calls doubled in the second and third year and the team was activated for more than just the most extremely ill patients. Whilst the frequency of calls for cardiopulmonary arrest remained constant (n=16), increased use of the MET resulted in the proportion of calls for cardiopul...
