Pediatric Rapid Response Team Algorithms [External Version] published by Intermountain Healthcare and University Health to be used during pediatric rapid response events in hospital systems other than Intermountain Healthcare. There are 8 algorithms in the publication to be used by in-patient caregivers and the Pediatric Rapid Response Team as a guide when recognizing and treating deteriorating hospitalized pediatric patients.
