CODE BLUE/MEDICAL EMERGENCIES COLLABORATIVE GUIDELINE

 

Policy Number:  3.20          Page 1 of 28

 

Objective:To inform the  Covenant  HealthCare employees  what  resources  and  equipment  are

available for Code Blue/Medical Emergencies at each campus/facility.  To describe the process for managing Code Blues/Medical Emergencies and appropriate communication of the need for Emergency Medical Response.

 

Support:Follow American Heart Association Protocols.

 

Definition:Code Blue/Medical Emergency is defined as any medical emergency i.e., cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, cardiopulmonary arrest, neuro incident (seizure), or any time a response emergency team is required.

 

Pediatric Code Blue is paged for any child needing the code team’s assistance.  After paging “Pediatric Code Blue”, the operator will state the location of the patient, e.g., “Pediatric Code Blue/2N Harrison”, or "Pediatric Code Blue/Cooper CT ".

 

Code Pink is called when assistance is needed for an obstetrical/newborn emergency.  The Neonatal Response Team responds. This includes Neonatologist/NNP, NICU RN and Registered Therapist (NRP Certified)

 

Newborn Code Blue is called for a Birth Center newborn experiencing respiratory and/or cardiac arrest in any area of the facility (except RNICU.) The Neonatal Response Team responds. All arrests in the RNICU are handled internally.

 

The Code Blue Team does not respond to a Code Pink or a Newborn Code Blue.

For any arrests/emergencies occurring outside of the building 911 is to be called.

 

For any arrests/emergencies occurring outside of any building, or off site location, i.e. Irving, Mackinaw, Michigan, 900 building, etc. 911 is to be called and MMR will respond and a Code Blue is called.

  8. Glidescopes are located in PICU, all adult critical units and ECC.
  9. Code Blue may be called for cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, neuro, or any time an emergency response team is required.
  10. Once a Code Blue victim has been identified, appropriate treatment is initiated and CPR is started if indicated.
  11. A response team has been identified for each campus/facility.  See Table.
  12. The events of the code must be documented on Code Blue Form/Medical Emergency (PF# 00727) lastest version 03/12.
