Abstract

Participation in a cardiopulmonary resuscitation team can create pandemonium among novice as well as experienced healthcare providers. Staff development educators, faced with the challenge of providing continuous education to improve efficiency in code organization and management, may benefit from lessons learned in the field. This author describes an institution's initiative to address multidisciplinary code blue education using a creative acronym coupled with multilevel didactic and simulation exercises.
