Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients in general wards have abnormal physical values preceding in-hospital cardiac arrest or a transfer to intensive care unit (ICU). The purpose of Medical Emergency Team (MET) or EMS is to interfere early enough in deteriorating patient status to prevent adverse outcomes like cardiac arrest or transfer to intensive care unit. The aims of this study are to record and analyze the effects of EMS and department of emergency and both afferent and efferent limbs of MET activity in Finnish tertiary Hospital.
