Retrospective Review of Blue Code Calls in Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital

Abstract

Objective: Blue code is a colorful code application that effectively and quickly intervenes in hospital cardiac arrest cases. The aim of our study was to retrospectively examine blue code management and blue code registration forms in our hospital. Material and Method: After receiving approval from the ethics committee of Kayseri City Hospital, the data of 160 patients who were called for blue code between October 2019 and December 2019 were retrospectively examined. Data of the intervention process was analyzed with the SPSS 22 package program. Results: In 91 of them (56.9%), in-hours work time crews, transportation time to the scene was determined as 1 minute and 48 seconds on average. 69 (43.2%) of the blue code calls were found to be out of-hours work time and teams transportation time to the scene averaged 2 minutes and 6 seconds. Conclusion: Respect for human life, rules that must be followed legally, once again emphasizes the importance of the blue code system. Blue code teams should use indoor navigation systems to ensure that there are no transportation problems with the scene in large hospitals.
