 Resuscitation is about recognising and effectively intervening when patients have seriously abnormal vital signs

 There is a wealth of research to show that our systems fail when patients in hospital deteriorate

 Early effective intervention can improve outcome and utilisation of intensive care resources

 Physiological derangement and the need for admission to the ICU is not the same thing. All patients should be assessed by a senior doctor

 In order to communicate clearly to colleagues about acutely ill patients, use SBARR

 Always inform the senior resident doctor about a seriously ill patient.
