Potential subjects were excluded if they had worked in the emergency department or a critical care unit or if they stated a belief that they had not been significantly affected by a RR event. Findings showed that the study participants were exceptionally appreciative of their RRT. They encountered minimal barriers and shared some poignant suggestions that may make valuable contributions to the institution\u27s RRT.
