      A retrospective analysis of 1,664 emergency forms from MET activities, ranging from January&#xD;
      2013 to December 2016. Every MET activation call via the emergency telephone number (&quot;5555&quot;)&#xD;
      and following emergency treatment was recorded by a standardized documentation form.&#xD;

      Recent studies demonstrated that in-hospital emergencies are linked to a higher mortality in&#xD;
      patients. In total, 1 out of 10 patients is suffering from an unexpected incident during the&#xD;
      hospital stay. Therefore, establishing and developing medical emergency teams (MET) is&#xD;
      getting more important in the future. Aim of the present study was an analysis of medical&#xD;
      documentation, operational tactics and procedures taken by MET in a 4-year-period, ranging&#xD;
      from 2013 to 2016. A retrospective analysis of 1,664 emergency forms from MET activities,&#xD;
      ranging from January 2013 to December 2016. Every MET activation call via the emergency&#xD;
      telephone number (&quot;5555&quot;) and following emergency treatment was recorded by a standardized&#xD;
