Abstract Background Medical Emergency Teams (MET) have been implemented in many hospitals to improve patient safety. Few studies examined how residents perceive the MET as part of training. Objective We aimed to evaluate residents’ perceptions of how MET rotation affected training in the core competencies specified by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Methods We conducted an online survey of 106 residents. They are either junior residents who are in training in internal medicine, non-trainee registrars or senior residents who are training in respiratory or advanced internal medicine. Results We achieved a response rate of 62.3%. More than 90% of residents agreed or strongly agreed that MET contributed positively to their training, made resuscitation of patients safer and more efficient, and disagreed or strongly disagreed that MET made resuscitation of patients more time-consuming or cumbersome. More than 80% agreed or strongly agreed that the MET improved their clinical judgement in medical emergencies, helped achieve their learning goals and exposed them to a wide variety of cases. At least two-thirds thought that the MET posting improved their procedural skills and communication in end of life care discussions. In contrast, 26.6% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the MET decreased autonomy of the primary team. One-third felt they needed formal training for the MET posting. Conclusion Our findings suggest that residents perceive participation in MET was beneficial in training and improved patient care. We also found that formal training and consultant oversight may be needed for junior team leaders of MET.

Unplanned intubation after surgery is a marker for severe adverse events. We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis of unplanned intubation after general and vascular surgery and sought to determine whether the deployment of a hospital-wide medical emergency team (MET) had a preventive effect. We included all patients undergoing general and vascular surgical procedures between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2008, from our American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data. Risk factors and incidence rates of unplanned intubation were compared before (preMET) and after (postMET) June 7, 2007. Chart review identified case details and fatality rates. There were 2426 patients included (1815 preMET, 611 postMET). The overall incidence of unplanned intubation was 2.6 per cent; significant risk factors included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dependent functional status, and emergent operation. Most (84%) unplanned intubations occurred in a critical care setting and the most common underlying reason was sepsis (40%). The overall case fatality rate was 43 per cent but varied significantly depending on the underlying reason for unplanned intubation. Incidence rates of unplanned intubation did not change significantly after MET deployment, suggesting that other strategies are needed to prevent this rare but highly morbid and mortal event.
