The Rule Of Health Care Staff In Code Blue

Abstract

In a code blue, healthcare staff play crucial roles in swiftly responding to medical emergencies, such as cardiac or respiratory arrest. The roles include a code blue leader coordinating the response, primary nurses initiating CPR and managing the patient's airway, residents or physician assistants providing advanced medical care, and additional team members assisting as directed. Other roles include runners retrieving equipment, recorders documenting interventions, family liaisons providing support, security ensuring safety, and post-code teams stabilizing patients and offering emotional support. Effective communication, teamwork, and adherence to protocols are vital for successful outcomes.
