How often do you have codes on your unit?

[Morainey]

Studying my ACLS and I'm just kind of mildly curious, folks. How often do you have codes, and what unit do you work on?

I'll go first: about every six months, ortho-med/surg. We do call rapid responses about every two weeks.

Probably a couple of times a month. Luckily that's all shifts and not just mine. The units have codes more often. One night we had two rooms next to each other coding in the unit and the doctors standing in the middle.

ICU step down rapid response maybe 3 per shift usually they go to ICU where they can code anyway. Sigh.
