Observational StudyThe impact of delayed rapid response call activation on patient outcomes.
To investigate the impact of delay in rapid response call (RRC) activation on Hospital mortality. ⋯ A delay of ≥15min was associated with significantly increased in-hospital mortality and longer hospitalization. The factors contributing to the observed increase in mortality with delayed RRCs require further exploration.

Effect of high-dose furosemide on the prognosis of critically ill patients.
Diuretics are used frequently in critically ill patients. We investigated the effects of furosemide on the prognosis. ⋯ Early high-dose furosemide use is associated with ICU mortality, particularly in non-oliguric patients. We suggest that furosemide should be used with caution even in non-oliguric critically ill patients until the safety is confirmed in powered study.
