Saving Lives at a Moment's Notice
"Code Blue, ER. Code Blue, ER."
When these words echo through Deaconess Hospital, a team of specialists drops everything and races to the Emergency Department – or wherever they are needed.
Code Blue is announced when a patient is unresponsive, meaning he is not breathing or his heart has stopped beating. When this happens, no matter what time of day or what day of the week, our code blue team is ready.
Meet Our Code Blue Team
Our team consists of the following medical professionals:
Emergency Department Physician - A board certified emergency physician oversees the code blue process.
Team Coordinator - A registered nurse from the Cardiovascular Medical Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) acts as Team Coordinator. This person is certified in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), and is responsible for the patient’s care during a code blue.
Recorder - The recorder is an ACLS certified registered nurse from the Cardiovascular Care Center (CVCC). This team member monitors the patient throughout the process and documents the time and details of each action taken.
Medication Nurse - The medication nurse comes from the Neuro Intensive Care Unit and is also ACLS certified. This individual establishes an IV and administers medications necessary to restore a patient's vital functions.
Other Professionals - In addition to the core team described above, a pharmacist, laboratory technologist, respiratory therapist and other physicians typically assist.
During the normal course of a day, members of our code blue team are dispersed throughout the hospital, performing a variety of jobs. But when called upon, they come together and work as one unit to save yet another life.

Cardiac arrest is alike with analytic death.
A cardiac arrest is usually diagnosed clinically by the absence of a pulse. In abounding cases abridgement of carotid beating is the gold accepted for diagnosing cardiac arrest, but abridgement of a beating (particularly in the borderline pulses) may be a aftereffect of added altitude (e.g. shock), or artlessly an absurdity on the allotment of the rescuer. Studies accept apparent that rescuers generally accomplish a aberration back blockage the carotid beating in an emergency, whether they are healthcare professionals or lay persons.
Owing to the blunder in this adjustment of diagnosis, some bodies such as the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) accept de-emphasised its importance. The Resuscitation Council (UK), in band with the ERC's recommendations and those of the American Heart Association,[18] accept appropriate that the address should be acclimated alone by healthcare professionals with specific training and expertise, and alike again that it should be beheld in affiliation with added indicators such as agonal respiration.
Various added methods for audition apportionment accept been proposed. Guidelines afterward the 2000 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) recommendations were for rescuers to attending for "signs of circulation", but not accurately the pulse.[18] These signs included coughing, gasping, colour, twitching and movement.[21] However, in face of affirmation that these guidelines were ineffective, the accepted advocacy of ILCOR is that cardiac arrest should be diagnosed in all casualties who are benumbed and not breath normally
