TL;DR: Moderate-strength evidence from a high-quality meta-analysis showed that RRSs are associated with reduced rates of cardiorespiratory arrest outside of the intensive care unit and reduced mortality, and 18 studies examining facilitators of and barriers to implementation suggested that the rate of use of R RSs could be improved.
