The latest edition of this text is the go-to book and most authoritative source on Rapid Response Systems (RRS). Now in its fully revised and expanded third edition, Textbook of Rapid Response Systems remains the best-selling and most comprehensive book on the topic. The new edition contains over fifty chapters written by world-renowned experts in the field and over fifty percent new material. An entire new section of ten chapters was added on pediatric Rapid Response Systems, which includes important "how to" chapters on managing critical situations during pediatric rapid response calls.
The previous edition had increased attention paid to patient safety and this edition expands that work. The utility of Rapid Response Systems for the management of dying patients has been questioned while at the same time there has been an increased knowledge base in the field. As a result, this edition contains two chapters on management for dying patients, for those patients with and those without "not for resuscitation" orders. This helps guide clinicians who are often ill-prepared medically and emotionally as they care for this important population of hospitalized patients.
Written by experts in the field, this new edition is a valuable resource for medical practitioners, nurses, respiratory caregivers, safety experts, and hospital administrators who want to implement and improve a rapid response system.
