The book presents a comprehensive overview of the concept . Examples from practice are frequently cited from a global perspective. Chapters are self-sufficient units that each review one aspect of the MET. it is an important guide to the dos and donts of establishing a MET." (Ann McGinley and Rupert M Pearse, Critical Care Forum, April, 2007) "The medical emergency team (MET) is a concept which is aimed at identifying those hospital patients at risk of clinical deterioration. This book aims to be a guide to health care professionals and administrators wishing to implement this concept in their hospital. It is intended primarily as a resource for those aiming to set up a MET in their hospital. It should certainly be read by hospital administrators and those interested in quality improvement, currently working in hospitals without such teams." (L. Walker and N. R. Webster, British Journal of Anaesthesia, Vol. 97 (6), 2006) "A comprehensive multiauthored review that examines techniques for implementation and assessment of hospital-based medical emergency teams (METs). This readable text provides great background and advice for anyone involved in implementation of a MET. All physicians actively involved in a hospital-based practice. In addition, nurses, respiratory therapists, and hospital administrators actively involved in MET implementation will find useful." (Nicola Schiebel, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Vol. 81 (7), July, 2006)
