ABSTRACT
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM ■ Most medical centers have a team of physicians and other pro-
fessionals designated to respond to medical emergencies, such as cardiac arrest, in the hospital or outpatient clinics. ▲ This team is the “emergency response team” or the “code
team.” ▲ The assumption is that having a well-trained and prepared
team ready to respond to emergencies will improve the outcomes of these situations.
