Medical Emergency Teams (METs) are specialized teams of healthcare professionals who provide rapid response to medical emergencies in hospitals. The MET service at Aster Hospital Whitefield is a critical component of the hospital's commitment to patient safety and quality care.
The primary goal of the MET service is to identify and intervene early in patients who are deteriorating clinically before they experience a medical emergency. The MET team comprises an intensive care team, critical care nurses, and respiratory therapists who work in liaison with primary care providers to provide rapid assessment, stabilization, and treatment to patients who require urgent medical attention.
