Abstract
Background: As a part of a general quality-of-care improvement program at our institution, an Emergency Response Team (ERT) permanently on-call was launched since September 2012. The team is composed by two in-house on-call physicians, one cardiologist and one anesthetist, both trained in ACLS. Once ERT is activated, they join and support the residents in their resuscitation efforts. Resuscitation-trustee nurses belonging to each department support the ERT efforts and are responsible for maintaining medical records. All staff members fulfilled course requirements and participate in bi-annual refresher courses. An institutional Resuscitation Committee composed of senior ACLS instructors was named in order to protocolize, follow-up and improve the ERT implementation, organize ACLS and PALS courses to nurses and physicians from each hospital ward.
