Abstract:

January 2016 and September 2017, a total of 58 blue code notifications were made, 19 of which were female (32.7%) and 39 (67.3%) were male. The average age of the patients was 58, 46 ± 20.81, the average time of arrival of the blue code intervention team was 40.77 ± 25.69 seconds and 93.1% of cases were reached in less than 3 minutes. 82.8% of the notifications were made using pager system. 29.3% of the reports were made out of outpatient clinics. Before the code team reached the scene, 48.3% of the patients were not interfered, 22.4% were lying, 15.5% were sitting, 10.3% had cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and 3.4% of the patients were given oxygen. The code team reported that 20.7% of the patients had applied CPR at the scene, 36.2% intervened by blood pressure, heart rate and saturation procedures, 20.7% had veins and 24.4% had any intervention has not been found. It was found that 58.6% of the patients were referred to the institutional emergency department, 15.5% were referred to the institution, 8.6% lost their lives despite the intervention, 17.2% were discharged without any intervention, was found to be 58.4%.   Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the blue code intervention team reported that the average arrival time was 40 seconds compared to the incident, 93.1% of the notifications were reached below 120 seconds, 82.8% of the notifications were delivered to the intervention team via the pager system, code intervention team, 20.7% of the patients applied CPR, patients were frequently referred to emergency services after intervention and the survival rate was determined as 58.4%. In the light of these results, it is seen that the blue code notification system applied in the SSH works effectively and the output of the notification system is compatible with the literature.
