What Is a Code Blue in a Hospital, and What Happens During a Medical Emergency? - #15314

I recently heard the term "Code Blue" being used in a hospital setting, and I was curious to learn more about what it means. From what I understand, Code Blue is an emergency hospital alert that signals a life-threatening situation, but what exactly happens when a Code Blue is called? I read that Code Blue is typically used when a patient experiences cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, or a medical emergency requiring immediate resuscitation. But who responds to a Code Blue, and what kind of medical procedures are performed during these situations? One thing I found interesting is that hospitals have different color codes for various emergencies, like Code Red for fire, Code Black for a bomb threat, and Code Pink for infant abduction. Does every hospital use the same emergency code system, or do they vary by country and institution? I also read that during a Code Blue, medical teams use CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), defibrillators, and advanced life support techniques to stabilize the patient. But what happens after the emergency is resolved? Do all Code Blue patients survive, or does it depend on how quickly help arrives? Are there any natural or preventive measures that can help reduce the risk of needing a Code Blue emergency? I’ve heard that Ayurveda promotes heart health through herbs like Arjuna and Ashwagandha—do these actually help with cardiovascular function and emergency prevention? If anyone has witnessed or been involved in a Code Blue situation, what was the experience like? How did the medical team respond, and what were the outcomes?
