Medical Emergency Teams (METs) play a vital role in preserving patients' lives by providing rapid, specialized interventions during critical health emergencies. This review explores the benefits, challenges, and outcomes associated with METs in modern healthcare settings. METs significantly reduce mortality and morbidity rates, prevent unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, and enhance patient safety by addressing clinical deterioration early. Their presence improves staff confidence, facilitates effective communication, and contributes to a proactive healthcare environment, ultimately leading to higher patient and family satisfaction. Despite these benefits, METs face challenges such as inadequate training, resource constraints, communication barriers, and emotional stress among team members. Institutional support, efficient communication systems, and continuous training programs are essential to address these limitations. Results from hospitals implementing METs demonstrate reductions in adverse events, enhanced patient outcomes, and strengthened organizational performance. In conclusion, METs are indispensable in modern healthcare, offering life-saving interventions and supporting systemic improvements. Addressing the challenges they face is crucial to optimizing their impact on patient safety and healthcare quality.
