The ART program helps to prevent cardiac arrest by introducing a care-based approach across 4 pathways that lead to deterioration: Circulatory, Respiratory, Neurologic,
and Dysrhythmic. By introducing trend recognition strategies throughout the risks associated with each of these pathways, clinicians will be prepared to:
• Anticipate deterioration by identifying fatal conditions and their risk factors.
• Recognize physiological patterns and the early indicators of deterioration.
• Target care both diagnostically and therapeutically to reverse deterioration and stabilize the patient.
