Why are hospital color codes used? - Used in hospitals worldwide to denote to staff various kinds
of emergency situations
- To convey essential information quickly and with a minimum
of misunderstanding
- To minimize stress and prevent panic among patients and
visitors to the hospital
Code pink Pediatric emergency
Code blue Cardiac arrest
Code yellow Missing resident/patient
Code amber Missing/abducted child/infant
Code white Aggression/violence
, Code red Fire
Code grey System failure
Code green Evacuation
Code brown hazardous spill
Code black Bomb threat
Code orange Mass casualty/disaster
Do's of high quality CPR - Perform chest compressions at a rate of 100-120/min
- Compress to a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm)
- Allow full recoil after each compression
- Minimize pauses in compressions
- Ventilate adequately (2 breaths after 30 compressions, each
breath delivered over 1 second, each causing chest rise)
Definition of code blue or cardiac arrest An emergency situation announced in a hospital or institution
in which a patient is in cardiopulmonary arrest, requiring a
team of providers (sometimes called a 'code' team) to rush to
the specific location and begin immediate resuscitative efforts
When do you call a code blue? 1) when your patient has a respiratory or cardiac arrest
2) when your assessment deems necessary - warning signs
3) when directed to do so - ideally want to call a code prior
to our patients experiencing a full respiratory or cardiac arrest
What is clinical reasoning? The ability to collect the right cues and take the right action
for the right patient at the right time for the right reason
What are the 5 rights of clinical reasoning? 1) right cues
2) right patient
3) right time
4) right action
5) right reason
What is failure to rescue? The inability of clinician to save a patient's life by timely
diagnosis and treatment when a complication develops
How early can a patient display signs and As early as 72 hours prior to the arrest
symptoms of impending arrest?
Why does failure to rescue occur? Occurs when health care providers do not recognize signs
and symptoms and subsequently fail to make appropriate
action to stabilize patients
4 activities to prevent failure to rescue 1) Surveillance/assessment - nurses must be able to identify
the progression and trending of assessment changes as
benign or pathological - most important activity
2) Timely identification of complications - nurses must be
vigilant to detect trends in assessment changes that can
signify a critical event
3) Taking action
4) Activating a team response - nurses need to notify the
physician and team appropriately and in a timely manner
