Code Red

This document provides guidelines for emergency code red procedures in a hospital setting. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of staff during a code red situation, from assessing the patient's condition, notifying doctors, preparing emergency equipment, assisting medical professionals, and post-emergency activities depending on the outcome. Key steps include a junior nurse taking vital signs and preparing equipment while the senior nurse notifies doctors, assists with emergency treatment, documents all procedures, and notifies ICU if the patient is revived or handles post-mortem care and paperwork if the patient dies.
