Need help with code protocol

Specialties Ambulatory

Published

I work in a large, very busy Family Practice office. We have mostly CMA's, a couple of LPN's and 3 RN's. I'm looking for some sort of protocol for running a code in the office setting. Like who is in charge of what, who records, etc. I was unsure how this would work say if there were no RN's in the office when a code occurs. I am sure that most of the work would be taken on by one the providers, but the ancillary staff is going to have some responsibility. Just wonder if anyone out there had something like this implemented in their office.

Thanks!!

Hello, ashour,

I sent you a private message about where to find this.

Here it is again. Please check in any Basic Life Support text (from the American Heart Association) for the protocols for "code blue"/cardiac and/or respiratory arrest. Also, check in the ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support from the American Heart Association) text as well. Very detailed and utilized everywhere.
