Abstract

Successful Code Blues require knowledge and skills from the patient’s nurses, doctors, and other members of the health professional care team. The primary nurse of a patient experiencing a Code Blue must know how to recognize a code and how to proceed during a code in order to result in a positive patient outcome. While the intensive care units have codes frequently, units such as the Medical-Surgical floors tend to have less of those. When those skills such as providing high-quality compressions and using automated external defibrillators are not being put into practice nor reviewed, some instances, Medical-Surgical nurses forget how to proceed during Code Blues. Other times, due to the lack of experience in Code Blues, Medical-Surgical nurses are nervous and anxious when it comes to delivering a quick report to the code team. This specific quality improvement project led by the Graduate Nursing Students of the University of San Francisco aims to boost Medical-Surgical nurses’ confidence and skills by means of training and education.
