Abstract：Objective To obtain rapid emergency severity assessment ( RESA ) by age, consciousness, breathing, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, transcutaneous oxygen saturation , ECG, body temperature , rapid blood sugar .Methods This retrospective study included 3089 critically ill patients who were rescued in our hospital emergency department from December 26, 2008~September 13, 2010.The 7-day mortality was served as the gold standard to calculate the area under the ROC curve (AROCC), the sensitivity, specificity for RESA.Results AROCC of RESA was 0.956 (95%CI 0.933 to 0.980), so RESA was a predictor of 7-day mortality.In line with more than two or two critically ill patients, said, on the 7th of high mortality, sensitivity 97.3%, specificity 81.7%. Conclusion RESA is a new assessment method in emergency following the RAPS , EWS and MEWS scoring system, REMS, SCS.The advantages of RESA are qualitative instead of quantitative ratings , fast, simple and practical .
