Who should be notified immediately in the event of a code blue?

In the event of a code blue, which indicates a critical medical emergency requiring immediate resuscitation efforts, the hospital emergency response team and relevant medical staff should be notified without hesitation. This group typically includes doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals trained to respond quickly to life-threatening situations. Their expertise and readiness are essential to implement emergency protocols effectively and to provide appropriate interventions such as CPR or defibrillation.

While other staff members, including facility maintenance and IT, play significant roles in the overall hospital operations, they are not directly involved in the immediate medical response required during a code blue. Immediate notification of the emergency response team and pertinent medical personnel ensures that the patient receives timely and appropriate care, which is crucial in such critical situations.
