Bir Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Hastanesinde Mavi Kod Verilerinin Retrospektif Analizi

Abstract

Aim: Code blue is an emergency code used in hospitals which ensures a rapid access to emergency situation and effective intervention process. The aim of this study is to evaluate the code blue reports and determine the efficiency of the implementation. Material and Methods: All the code blue records kept between January 2010 and July 2018 in University of Health Sciences Zekai Tahir Burak Women’s Health, Application and Research Center were retrospectively analyzed. Total number and demographical data of the patients, distribution of the code blue calls according to years, departments, reasons; duration for the access to emergency situation, the diagnosis and treatment applied, presence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and if CPR was performed its duration and results were recorded. Results: A total of 138 code blue calls were made since year 2010.The mean age of the patients was 43,40 ± 16,60 years; 10,1 % of patients (n=14) were pregnant, 7,2 % (n=10) were in postpartum period and 3,6 % (n=5) were in postoperative period. The mean duration for access to emergency situation was 70,54 ± 32,8 seconds. The most common reason for code blue call was syncope (29,7 %, n=40), the ratio of cardiopulmonary arrest was 26,8 % (n=37). The mean duration of CPR was 33,4 ± 19,6 minutes and response ratio was 20,0 % (n=8). Conclusion: It is determined that code blue system is in accordance with standards in terms of target duration to access emergency situation. This study reveals that patient profile and possible reasons for code blue of a women’s health hospital may differ from multidisciplinary hospitals.
