Code blue protocol: observation and analysis of results over last 3 years in a new tertiary care hospital

Intr Hospital Emergency Codes are used in hospitals worldwide to alert staff to various emergencies. The use of codes is intended to convey essential information quickly and with minimal misunderstanding to staff, while preventing stress and panic among visitors to the hospital. A Code Blue is the term used to alert the Code Blue team (Resuscitation team) to an area where a person has had a cardiac/respiratory arrest. We in our hospital have intensive care unit personnel (Resident doctor, Nurse and Technician) assigned to attend the code blue calls.
