  • @Inkling777
    @Inkling777 Před 3 lety +27

    I've got three questions for you, all based on standard practices in aviation.
    1. You mentioned that for a Code Blue as a senior resident you were often the one giving orders. In commercial aviation and particularly for demanding situations, such as take-offs and landings, a formal distinction is made between the "pilot flying" and the "pilot observing." The former is so focused on the demands of flying, that even something as obvious as another plane entering the runway may be missed. Watching for that is the task of the pilot observing. Is there an equivalent for a code team-meaning something whose task is to simply observe. I've been a part of codes and I recall a team being so intensely focused on the immediate that something crucial might be missed.
    2. In aviation, there are no-discussion responses, typically for situation where the response has to be instantaneous. For instance, if during a landing either pilot calls for "go around," that procedure is instantly followed. Only when that go around is successfully executed, do the pilots discuss why. Does medicine and particularly Code Blue responses have something similar? I can see a hospital having a policy that if anyone on staff wants to call a Code Blue, there's no discussion. The code is called and its necessity (or not) discussed later.
    3. To counter the pressures on pilots to land in bad weather despite their misgivings, some airlines have no-fault policies. When the pilots of a plane decide to make a go round or to divert to another airport, there will no discipline even if that decision later proves questionable. Do hospitals have similar no-fault policies about matters such as calling a Code Blue? It could prevent unnecessary delay.

    I am a licensed drug and alcohol counselor one of the things we had was code green, or asking for a green folder. This meant you had a client who was potentially violent threatening, etc. So if you are in a room, and you are scared, you’d ask for a green folder. This would alert a code green

      amazingabby25 I had broken my foot in 5 places. In ER late on a Saturday night. Getting into ER I peed my pants in parking lot. Couldn't walk, couldn't get wheelchair fast enough. After getting my foot in temporary setting I was discharged to see doc on Monday. They gave me paperish green shorts/shirt. As my clothes were soaked. As I left on crutches nurse said if you get strange looks these green clothes are for our mental patients so hosp staff can identify them. I'll let lobby know you just needed clothes and not having mental issues. So green items mean same I guess.

    When my oldest was born I remember nursing her in the middle of the night when all if a sudden a code pink was called. All you heard was dozens of feet running to the exits searching for the missing newborn. Everything went on lockdown instantly. I remember holding my daughter tightly and crying for the mother of the lost baby.
    Thankfully, there was no lost infant. A new mom charged her baby and put the soiled onesie and blanket in hamper in her room. Unfortunately, she didn't realize, probably from exhaustion, that she somehow accidentally removed the security tag aka baby low jack from her child and tossed it in with the dirty items. Soon the laundry staff came into her room to retrieve the clothes and linens. Once the staff member rolled her laundry bin containing the tag, across the security line, it set off the entire women's hospital and the connecting main hospital causing a lockdown, police response and mass panic. The person pushing the bin of laundry was stopped and contained immediately while staff searched her and the contents of the bin looking for a baby. Once the tag was found and scanned, it was confirmed that the newborn in question was safe in her mother's arms.
    It was such a scary moment but I gained a whole new respect for my hospital for how swift and amazing they handled such a terrifying, potentially life changing moment.

      Luckily, the majority of code pink stories I've heard of are completely benign with no issues like this. A parent walking around with their child accidentally crosses a slightly conservative threshold, the tag gets separated from the child, (especially with hospitals that use multiple tags) a tag doesn't get removed when the child is discharged, really bad timings with manual checks meaning staff can't determine the location of a child until everyone is locked down (which might be frustrating, but it is a trade off with having to make sure that the tags aren't the only thing preventing baby theft), etc.

      @trentbergin3776 Před 5 lety +41

      Marybeth Langendorf the bracelet doesnt prevent an abduction it triggers the code....in the states its code adam and all staff goes to the nearest exit to prevent the baby from leaving the building because the code goes off when they leave the wing and usually the pediatric/maternity wings are internal on upper floors to allow time for the code to take effect.

      Not every hospital has a pediatric ward or a mother-babe ward, so not everywhere will have a specific code for a missing child. If you announced code Pink at my hospital no one would know what it was. On the otherhand, since we have both pysch and dementia wards where I work, we all listen very carefully to the description given during a code Yellow.

    • @muggs00
      @muggs00 Před 5 lety +3

      I know they have the bracelet too but they have the code pink as well. I’m not sure but I thought the bracelet basically alerted the baby ward and security. The code alerted everyone.
      Dee-Anne Gordon in a hospital by me they for Mr Arms to report to whichever unit they are having a problem in, usually the psych ward.

    I was visiting my grandma in the ICU and as soon as I stepped out of the elevator onto that floor a code blue was being announced. There were little blue lights going off everywhere and the staff were running in the same direction. As someone who just stepped out of the elevator with no clue what a code blue was , I just stood there confused and slowly walked to my grandmas room 😅 later on I asked a nurse what that was and she explained. I overheard that the patient who the code was called for made it, so yay! Happy ending 😊✨

      A lot of doctors will just lift a corner of the mask so you feel like you can breathe and calm down, then the anesthesia can take effect and knock you out

      My daughter was 4 months old and code blue 2 times in the same day. She had a congenital heart defect. She came back to us and a week later had a successful heart surgery.
