Assessing Clinical Impressions of Early Warning Score Integration With the Rapid Response Team: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of early warning scores (EWSs), which integrate real-time vital sign monitoring, can help rapid response teams (RRTs) proactively identify patients at risk of deterioration. However, existing EWSs demonstrate limited evidence for the reduction of clinically important adverse events. The Visensia Safety Index (VSI) is an EWS that combines heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, and respiration rate vital sign information to generate a VSI acuity score ranging from 0, signifying the lowest risk of deterioration, to 5, signifying highest risk of deterioration. Continuous monitoring of the risk of deterioration, with alerts triggered by a score of 3.0 or greater, prompts medical attention.
