First of all thank you for everyone’s input concerning their hospitals RRT.  
The information has been very useful.  If anyone else has any thoughts on what 
they bring to the RR calls please continue to respond.  Our team consist of an  
ICU nurse, MOD, ICU resident or intern, respiratory therapist, IV team Nurse 
and on the  days shift our clinical Pharmacist.  The MD runs the call.
We have a bag with supplies but we were trying to downsize our bag.  From your 
responses we probably will not downsize the bag now but actually add a few 
items.  Some of our ICU nurses felt we did not  need any supplies but just our 
knowledge.  Again thank you for clearing this up for us.     Robin Seeger RN

Charge nurse runs it at first or better yet is first on the scene. The critical 
care fellow shows up later. RT and the ICU floater responds as well

Dear Colleagues,
We have a Rapid Response team at our hospital with great results in warding off 
codes and helping patients get the care they need quickly.  If anyone has such 
a team at their hospital can you tell me if you take a bag with supplies with 
you and what do you carry.  At present  we carry IV start kits, blood draw 
equipment, nebulizer treatments, gloves, a glucometer, syringes an LMA and a 
suction catheter and a kit of meds such as:  metropolol IV, an epi pen, 
Benadryl, NTG SL,  atomodate, succinocholine, and propophol.  Thank you
