Panelists called this “low certainty evidence from five before-after studies that this intervention may be associated with lower mortality and fewer unsuccessful resuscitation events.” Over six years of study (2007-2013): There were 83 MET calls activated by parents (~1.2 Well … no. Let’s take a closer look.
