CODE BLUE: ROLES OF THE TEAM MEMBERS

The roles of a Code Blue team are demonstrated in this program as staff go through a mock code scenario on an inpatient unit. Each member, including the team leader, bedside nurses, anesthesiologist, procedure physician, medication nurse, CPR nurse, and recorder, describes in detail the responsibilities he or she has during resuscitation with Code Blue experts, who provide immediate feedback and insight.

CODE BLUE: VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION

This program demonstrates the resuscitation of an inpatient who suffers an unwitnessed pulseless arrest on an acute care floor. It begins when a nurse finds an unresponsive patient and describes her actions until the Code Blue team arrives. When they enter the room, the dynamics of the group is demonstrated as each person assumes his or her role and carries out appropriate assessments and interventions. During this scenario, the algorithm for management of ventricular fibrillation, according to the guidelines set forth by the American Heart Association, is followed.

CODE BLUE: DROWNING

The Code Blue Team has been notified that a patient who was found apneic and pulseless in a pond will be arriving in the Emergency Department in several minutes. This program begins by showing how the team members prepare for the arrival of the patient and then immediately start their evaluations and treatment protocols when the patient enters the room. In addition to medical management of drowning, other issues, such as when to stop resuscitation and family presence during a code, are discussed.

CODE BLUE: ANAPHYLAXIS

Although many healthcare professionals are comfortable and competent in resuscitation of adults, fewer are proficient in pediatrics. Even in facilities where children are not normally cared for, staff must be able to provide emergency care to them. This principle is illustrated here as a child visiting his grandparent on a geriatric floor has an anaphylactic allergic reaction to a cookie innocently given to him. Using the guidelines for Pediatric Advanced Life Support, each team member assumes a role, assessing and managing the child's care. Specific pediatric issues such as use of the Broselow?Pediatric Emergency Tape, medication doses, equipment sizes, and intraosseous needle placement are highlighted.
