I’ve heard most of these in my time working at hospitals. My favorite thing to hear over the intercom is the music my hospital plays every time a baby is born!
I have heard code blue. Twice it was my mom. Once in 2014, she survived.. then again on November 10 2017, it happened again and unfortunately she didn't make it. I pray every time I hear a code blue. I pray for the patient and their family. Because I know that pain and I don't wish it on anybody.
I once accidentally called a code blue as a patient when I was around 3 years old. I just pressed the blue button in my room and all the nurses came running. Thanks to this video and your other videos, I now know why and I will never do it again.
Code dignity; is a signal that someone has passed and they are asking for staff to line the hall outside the room to respect the family as they see their loved one for the last time.
I am a licensed drug and alcohol counselor one of the things we had was code green, or asking for a green folder. This meant you had a client who was potentially violent threatening, etc. So if you are in a room, and you are scared, you’d ask for a green folder. This would alert a code green
amazingabby25 I had broken my foot in 5 places. In ER late on a Saturday night. Getting into ER I peed my pants in parking lot. Couldn't walk, couldn't get wheelchair fast enough. After getting my foot in temporary setting I was discharged to see doc on Monday. They gave me paperish green shorts/shirt. As my clothes were soaked. As I left on crutches nurse said if you get strange looks these green clothes are for our mental patients so hosp staff can identify them. I'll let lobby know you just needed clothes and not having mental issues. So green items mean same I guess.
Interesting. We use "code white" for an aggressive individual. "Code green" means evacuation. Also, we have "green sleeves", which are folders that indicate a person's goals of care. I'd get myself into all sorts of trouble wherever you are!
i remember, when i was seeing my cardiologist somebody over the loud speaker said “Code blue. Code Blue” And everyone was frantic, and i was so confused. So i appreciate this
I feel like there should be a code for human trafficking suspects, I think that would be really helpful having said that I guess some of the codes actually said can come into that category...great video
I don't know if that isn't a thing for the reason that if the suspect of human trafficking knew the code they would just run away or take hostage someone, idk tho, i'm not a police officer
At the hospital I’m at, if something fishy like that we normally just quietly call the police and try to keep them as long as possible. I’m not sure what would happen if they tried to leave. Security would probably hold them
I was in the hospital the other day I had a swollen bloody cut by my eye (not the reason for the visit) and they asked me if I was okay and if I felt safe to go home
@@s1lkyAng3l I've had that before. My doc was asking me one time. She saw what she suspected might be bruises on my face when she saw me. So, she had to ask. I told her that if someone HAD tried that shit on me...there would really be no need to ask...because he'd be DEAD!
Code blue got called on me when I was born, I was sleeping while I was born, they thought I was dead because I didn't wake up and I came out feet first
When my oldest was born I remember nursing her in the middle of the night when all if a sudden a code pink was called. All you heard was dozens of feet running to the exits searching for the missing newborn. Everything went on lockdown instantly. I remember holding my daughter tightly and crying for the mother of the lost baby. Thankfully, there was no lost infant. A new mom charged her baby and put the soiled onesie and blanket in hamper in her room. Unfortunately, she didn't realize, probably from exhaustion, that she somehow accidentally removed the security tag aka baby low jack from her child and tossed it in with the dirty items. Soon the laundry staff came into her room to retrieve the clothes and linens. Once the staff member rolled her laundry bin containing the tag, across the security line, it set off the entire women's hospital and the connecting main hospital causing a lockdown, police response and mass panic. The person pushing the bin of laundry was stopped and contained immediately while staff searched her and the contents of the bin looking for a baby. Once the tag was found and scanned, it was confirmed that the newborn in question was safe in her mother's arms. It was such a scary moment but I gained a whole new respect for my hospital for how swift and amazing they handled such a terrifying, potentially life changing moment.
Luckily, the majority of code pink stories I've heard of are completely benign with no issues like this. A parent walking around with their child accidentally crosses a slightly conservative threshold, the tag gets separated from the child, (especially with hospitals that use multiple tags) a tag doesn't get removed when the child is discharged, really bad timings with manual checks meaning staff can't determine the location of a child until everyone is locked down (which might be frustrating, but it is a trade off with having to make sure that the tags aren't the only thing preventing baby theft), etc.
I've got three questions for you, all based on standard practices in aviation. 1. You mentioned that for a Code Blue as a senior resident you were often the one giving orders. In commercial aviation and particularly for demanding situations, such as take-offs and landings, a formal distinction is made between the "pilot flying" and the "pilot observing." The former is so focused on the demands of flying, that even something as obvious as another plane entering the runway may be missed. Watching for that is the task of the pilot observing. Is there an equivalent for a code team-meaning something whose task is to simply observe. I've been a part of codes and I recall a team being so intensely focused on the immediate that something crucial might be missed. 2. In aviation, there are no-discussion responses, typically for situation where the response has to be instantaneous. For instance, if during a landing either pilot calls for "go around," that procedure is instantly followed. Only when that go around is successfully executed, do the pilots discuss why. Does medicine and particularly Code Blue responses have something similar? I can see a hospital having a policy that if anyone on staff wants to call a Code Blue, there's no discussion. The code is called and its necessity (or not) discussed later. 3. To counter the pressures on pilots to land in bad weather despite their misgivings, some airlines have no-fault policies. When the pilots of a plane decide to make a go round or to divert to another airport, there will no discipline even if that decision later proves questionable. Do hospitals have similar no-fault policies about matters such as calling a Code Blue? It could prevent unnecessary delay.
Marybeth Langendorf the bracelet doesnt prevent an abduction it triggers the code....in the states its code adam and all staff goes to the nearest exit to prevent the baby from leaving the building because the code goes off when they leave the wing and usually the pediatric/maternity wings are internal on upper floors to allow time for the code to take effect.
Not every hospital has a pediatric ward or a mother-babe ward, so not everywhere will have a specific code for a missing child. If you announced code Pink at my hospital no one would know what it was. On the otherhand, since we have both pysch and dementia wards where I work, we all listen very carefully to the description given during a code Yellow.
I know they have the bracelet too but they have the code pink as well. I’m not sure but I thought the bracelet basically alerted the baby ward and security. The code alerted everyone. Dee-Anne Gordon in a hospital by me they for Mr Arms to report to whichever unit they are having a problem in, usually the psych ward.
Funny story, my mum was in the hospital after a surgery. She went outside to smoke (it was cleared dw) she told the nurse at the front desk but that nurse forgot to tell the others. So they went into her room and she wasn't there and they nearly called a code yellow lmao.
At My Hospital Code Purple Means A Missing Patient! It's A Little Funny Sometimes Because Its Usually An Old Granny Or Grandpa Slowly Making A Run For It Hehehe
My parents told me that I had a code white called on me because of the steroids for my treatment and I went really crazy. They ended up putting me in a coma
One time my grandpa secretly left the hospital with my dad because he didn't want to shower in hospital's bathroom and when he came back and nurses asked him where he's been he told them he was in the chapel praying lmaoo
It would be considered theft in some hospitals if he had a wound vac attached to him, a picc line would potentially get infected if he doesn't know what he's doing.
@@Amandaaa2244so what you're saying is Jeffrey Epstein would probably not have "committed suicide by hanging " if he was housed in the adult wing of one of the facilities you worked at 😊
@@strugglingcollegestudent Same, I know someone who's been to a psych ward and they told me that there had been like 4 suicide attempts just amongst their roomates + closest neighbours in the span of 3 weeks or so.
When I broke my ankle the hospital was telling me that I can't leave because I kept fainting. It was because I was in so much pain I haven't eaten or had a drink for a long time plus I'm just prone to fainting. So my question is they couldnt actually stop me leaving? And just strongly suggest not to or that situation they are allowed to physically stop me?
@@BritishTightEnd i mean caj's comment is on this video (crazy i know) so im gunna go ahead and assume that they watched it? meaning they know what a code blue is?
My mom was in the hospital before she had me and my siblings and she had a code blue called on her because she was accidentally triple-dosed on morphine (the student nurse forgot to write her dosages down and someone else came in and THEY forgot as well so a third dose happened and... yeah) but thankfully she was able to be resuscitated and she’s still going strong to this day 💙💙💙
I've also heard in a few Ontario hospitals CODE 333. Emergency call of OB/GYN to EMERGENCY for an imminent birth, or a birth that has happened at the doors of the ER DEPT. Thank you, your husband and every other Hospital worker for coming into work through COVID-19. I also would like to thank the Police Force, Fire Personnel and the Paramedics, as well as everyone else who are doing something to help this fight. The people working in warehouses, the truckers getting food to our stores, etc. From a very grateful heart, from Ontario, Canada, Jenn.
One time a code yellow was called on my mum because she had just been transferred from one hospital to another and they used coloured socks to recognise different types of patients or something and she was in socks that were a colour for her category in the previous hospital but after being in the new hospital for a few days she decided to leave to buy a drink from the sainsbury's around the corner and someone who worked for the hospital reported seeing a patient with yellow socks leaving the hospital in a wheelchair and the yellow socks signified alzheimers, dementia, senile, potentially confused etc and when me and my sister and dad arrived to the hospital to go to a meal with my mum all of the staff were in a frenzy because there was a missing patient but it was just my mum accidentally creating drama
Oh dear. As much as I sometimes wish we had a colour coding system to visually identify those types of patients, I'm also glad we don't, lol. Where I work the colour of your socks only tells you if they're a small/medium/large size.
I went to an emergency room once for my depression and I got really bored because no one was there and the tv wasn’t working and I started walking around and me being the dumbass I am pressed the code blue button without knowing and it still haunts me
pepper _ I know that. I was asking why this person thought it was a good idea to start wandering around in an EMERGENCY ROOM. You know, the place where people come who need immediate help.
Code dignity: Someone close to the hospital staff has passed and when free doctors lay a rose in their locker/bed Code rainbow: All codes fired at once
Code pink is for a missing baby from maternity Code grey or BAT is for a stroke. BAT is short for brain attack team Dr. Heavy or manpower is for backup Code E is for elopement. We also have Rapid Response code for someone that is in need of extra nurses and doctors and RT for a medical emergency but not quite a code blue.
2:16 in some areas code black means that there are too many patients and the hospital does not have enough resources to treat them and they have to reject patients no matter how sick or injured they are
My Pipi recently passed away because of a surprise anyeurism. When we were waiting for him to get out of emergency surgery, they called Code Omega. I wondered what it was, and now I know it was probably him. I always appreciate what all doctors and nurses do for everyone.
I was visiting my grandma in the ICU and as soon as I stepped out of the elevator onto that floor a code blue was being announced. There were little blue lights going off everywhere and the staff were running in the same direction. As someone who just stepped out of the elevator with no clue what a code blue was , I just stood there confused and slowly walked to my grandmas room 😅 later on I asked a nurse what that was and she explained. I overheard that the patient who the code was called for made it, so yay! Happy ending 😊✨
Hey! I’m Dani and I’m a senior in high school and I have cerebral palsy. You are honestly so inspirational to me! Through your videos, you have taught me to keep going and never give up despite the challenges of life! Thank you so much, you truly are making a difference!
My aunt had a code blue called about 2 years ago when she gave birth to my cousin. I remember my uncle describing vividly what happened.Thankfully she and my cousin are still with us, happy and healthy. 💞🙏👼
I experienced the omega code. I had a c section and had like 10 minutes back in my room when I started bleeding out and the code was called. Within like 2 minutes there were like 20 nurses and drs working on me. Had to go back straight to OR for another emergency surgery. Was terrifying
Hello, I am 13 and i love your videos. I hope to someday be a nurse and go to medical school. I love how every time i watch your videos i learn something new. Thank you so much for making these amazing videos!
Abdullah Aldosari Well some people wanted to be a nurse, Doctor, Etc. And they can go for it. As I for me I want to be a paramedic because it’s my dream job. Some people have different type of what they want to do. some people want to be both.
"now this is a real team *activity*" Head Doctor: Alright doctors, gather round the camp fire! It's time for our Code Blue!" Rest of the doctors and nurses: Yay!
Code Sweater: the environmental controls have broken down leaving the air conditioning and other factors inoperable. Works for both too hot or too cold.
Codes are such an incredibly useful list of procedures outside of medicine too! I don’t work in medicine, never have, never will, but I find it so interesting and love your videos! I actually work in London, UK, at an interactive tourist attraction and we have a whole code book that we have to learn in order to operate the attraction safely. A few great examples: Code yellow: biological spillage Code black: immediate emergency evacuation Code zephyr: full building lockdown There’s so many more, it’s so interesting to learn how they work in other fields!
So, after a fatal incident happened years ago with an active shooter because of a misunderstanding of codes the California Hospital Associated made a standardized Emergency code book for American hospitals. My parents are both nurses and my dad worked in the medical center for a medium sized city (Bowling Green, Ky) before so I’ll ask him if he used these but here are some of the commonly used ones in America: Green: Patient elopement (leaving before being discharged) Red is fire, Blue is medical/cardiac emergency for an adult patient, White is for a pediatric emergency, Pink is an infant abduction, Purple is a pediatric abduction, Grey is a combative person (no weapon), Yellow is a bomb threat, Orange is hazardous spill, Silver is an armed person and/or hostage situation, and Code Triage is for internal or external disasters. Edit: After to a bit of searching the KHA (Kentucky Health Association) has mostly the same codes but Black for Bomb threats and Yellow is for activating an emergency disaster plan.
The main codes in Australia: Fire/smoke (Code red) Medical emergency (Code blue) Bomb threat (Code purple) Infrastructure and other internal emergencies (Code yellow) Personal threat (Code black) External emergency (Code brown) Evacuation (Code orange). Where I live, we also have Cyclone (code white, I think?)
I was in the middle of a code white once! I was visiting my grandpa and the dude beside him was arguing with the nurse. He then proceeded to start to try and punch her. A code white was called and my family left the room until the man was calmed down. When we went back into the room he was tied down to his bed and was being transported to a different unit of the hospital
in mental psychiatry wards this type of code is extremely common. frustration about being in the hospital is very common and people often punch walls or other things and sometimes try to harm staff.
That is so cool!!!! I really like learning from you !! I really want to be a Nurse or Docter! What would you recommend? What edicaction would I need to have?
Larissa81 _ If two people are dying normally every shift for you....I’d wanna know what your doing, clearly not keeping ppl alive. That’s 6+ patients dying a week on your watch?
At our hospital in Toronto we used code silver/grey as "air exclusion" for an external spill or disaster affecting the air. I've also never heard of code Aqua, and we had an extra code Pink which is a code blue for our NICU. I love hearing the differences at all of the hospitals!!
I was a security dispatcher years back, at a hospital in London. We dispatched Code Blue ‘Pre-Arrest’ for those situations where it wasn’t quite a full Code Blue, but likely to evolve into one if left unattended.
lollie pops Kevin i love that show. It's sad though but the doctors are really smart. I think the asian doctor is really funny and pretty. When the husband of Meredith Grey dies I love the one scene where she says"We just lost a doctor and you are complaining about long hours grow up!" That one nurse wasn't even sympathetic for the widow. Rest in peace Dr Shepard💔
After a code was called on me I woke up in the intensive care unit and to this day I don't even remember why a code was called. It had NEVER happened to me before. I'm sorry for the people who have lost loved ones because of a code. My mom and dad were crying when they saw the CPR team racing to the operating theatre I was in. 😨
KittyKake 44 I’ve had to leave AMA when I had a kidney infection potentially going into septic shock. The doctors were really angry & you can tell they really dislike patients leaving AMA
I probably almost had a code white pulled on me. I was going into surgery and they put one of those breathing mask thingys on me and was trying to kick/punch the doctors and I was also screaming “HELP MEEEEeeEe” it felt like they were suffocating me. But luckily they just held my feet and arms down.
A lot of doctors will just lift a corner of the mask so you feel like you can breathe and calm down, then the anesthesia can take effect and knock you out
My daughter was 4 months old and code blue 2 times in the same day. She had a congenital heart defect. She came back to us and a week later had a successful heart surgery.
Do you guys also have codes for abducted/missing children/infant in the hospital? I live in the USA (Georgia, specifically) - and we have a Code Pink, which means that a child or newborn in the hospital has gone missing - whether as a patient or visitor. Other than that, the codes I noticed were similar for me were Code Red, Blue, and Black. I think Code Triage here is the equivalent of what you have for Code Orange. Code Green here means severe weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.). I think Code Purple means a combative person instead of Code White. I'm not entirely sure. These are all the codes I can remember off the top of my head right now!
Generally in Canada (specifically Ontario) missing children in a hospital are a Code Amber. A code pink is respiratory distress in an infant under a month old.
When i worked at the hospital (ER tech then moved on to EMT) We had code pink (cardiac/respiratory arrest now code blue). We also had CODE 99 which is all male personnel, usually called for an extremely combative patient, frequently in psych or the ER.
The hospitals I've worked in don't use a Code Green. But yes, the patients would be moved as quickly as safely as possible, first horizontally away from the danger, then vertically.
I lived with my aunt, uncle, and cousin for 2 years and we had a code brown. Basically 3 of us has IBS and other gastric problems and only one bathroom so if someone was in the bathroom showering or getting ready or whatever, if a code brown is called you MUST get out within 1 minute. We have even called a code brown ahead of time. We have a group chat with all of us in it and there have been times where one of us will be driving home and text a code brown. I was coming home from class one day and texted “CODE BROWN in 15 minutes” which basically lets everyone know the bathroom must be open because I’m arriving in 15 😂😂😂
I never said it was a medical code. I most definitely do know what a code is in the medical field. I also know how to have fun at home during shitty situations lol
I never thought I’d end up watching these kind of videos... but it’s so refreshing to see someone so intelligent, kind and genuine on the platform. Now I watch your videos every night before bed, and my respect for those in the medical profession is somehow even higher. Please keep making videos!
Crazy how different these codes and colours can be, if I was in a Canadian hospital I would definitely be confused by some of these! At the hospital I work at in Australia, our codes are standardised for all hospitals in my state: Red - Fire/Smoke Orange - Evacuation (for any reason) Purple - Bomb threat Black - Personal threat (sounds like what you describe as a code white) Yellow - Internal emergency (most of these are about IT problems affecting our online systems, but every now and then we get something like a hazardous spill) Brown - External emergency Blue - Medical emergency We also have MET calls (medical emergency team), which is like a code blue but less serious. Examples could be a sudden change in patient BP, O2 sat, or consciousness, or could be something like a seizure (there's a bunch of guidelines about what constitutes a MET call vs when it has to be a code blue). I work in a HUGE hospital with a massive children's hospital attached, so I hear over a dozen MET calls and code blues every day (thankfully not as many paediatric CBs!). So far this year we've had maybe two or three code yellows. In the 3 years I've been at this hospital I've only ever heard one code red, one code orange and one code black, never heard purple or brown yet!
My mom has anaphalctic food allergies i had to go to the emergency room with her and i was in the waiting room i heard code blue and it was about her and i almost cried
Yeah she's fine but sge gained more allergies so shes alot more carefull. Shes allergic to eggs,penuts, shellfish,soy and mustard. Turnes out it was a soy allergy
Not to be rude tho, I'm glad she's okay, just thought you might wanna know how it's properly spelled Incase you wanted to write it somewhere for w class or something
i was wondering abt that too. I know it's an actual thing its like " Infectious Disease Outbreak" or smth and its called when an infectious disease has escaped quarantine and where it is suspected. Im not sure because I dont really know medical stuff but thats about the gist of it.
At the hospital I work at, we have special negative pressure rooms where we put those with very deadly/infectious diseases. There are two doors per room, I regular door and one small one. The regular doors works normal, but the smaller door allows no air to escape the room so it cannot be transferred into the hallways. Then we have special masks, gloves, and gowns to visit them with.
Sometimes a patient has a wound that needs frequent attention (for example, the wound is infected and needs to be cleaned out frequently). In those cases, there’s some kind of plastic covering over it to lower risk of infection. i’d imagine that if a fire broke out during a life or death surgery, the surgeons would apply that covering. or maybe they’ll do like the band on the titanic and go down with the hospital while doing their job
@@ihatechemistryyy you NEED to evacuate, most often called after there's been a code red (fire) or it might be after a bomb or shooter threat, but the last 2 definately don't happen often
there was a code blue while i was waiting in the er when i thought i broke my finger and like 20 mins later then had to have a moment of silence bc they had died😔
Sebsanonlebus normally not a code they just call security to stabilize the patient and get them to settle down (not a doctor but an American suicidal patient)
Normally not needed most suicidal patients already have 1 on 1 nursing care and if the nurse needs extra hands due to rage that some people feel when suicidal they call security
If they are in danger like we had a patient Jump from our parking Garage and it’s of course a code blue but if they are about to they would call a rapid and get medical staff and doctors there. If they are just talking like it they would call a the bert team for my hospital.
I've heard a code black twice before. At the time, I had no idea what it meant and only found out years later what it was. No idea how serious it really was.
No clue but no one in my area seems concerned about it. Granted, we weren't really in the part of the hospital that could easily be evacuated (and the doors in/out were all locked) so I don't think there's much they could have done anyway.
Time check: covert way of saying there’s a major security risk without starting a panic, the time that follows would be a code name for an area, for example time check 12:00 could be the main entrance has a security risk that requires more than just security staff to be made aware but you don’t want a panic from the general public, although I think this is an NHS invention
It is so strange, I'm a student, learning to be an English teacher, not someone in the medical field. And yet, I learn to much more from these vlogs than from most of my "hearing practises" haha
I have been watching your videos off and on over the last year and I think your videos are great and I am so proud to learn your Canadian! I live in Nova Scotia and over 70,000 people here don't have a family doctor and our hospital has the highest mortality rate in the country. Last week a local story made the CTV Atlantic news in which over a two week period a man was at the ER twice and died as a result of his bowl dieing while he was alive and then he died within days. Anyway we need doctors like you in Canada so please keep doing what your doing and I can't wait to watch your med videos. Subscribed 🤗💜🇨🇦
My grandfather had a Code Yellow called on him. He left in the middle of the night, I think it was about 2-3AM and didn't tell anyone. It was crazy. We were in constant contact with the hospital, and of course they had constant contact with the police. My dad and I hauled *** to get over to my grandfather's place only to find him just 5 minutes away from his house with the police following him after making contact and being rejected for assistance. He was competent. But given the time of night and the state he was in (post-dialysis), they gave the code. Yes please! Go into details about a Code Blue!
Enigura My Granda disappeared from a hospital too, we’re in England so I don’t know what codes they use but it was terrifying. It turns out that the doctor had told him he could go home that day and he thought it meant immediately and got a friend to take him home. Despite all the work he caused the hospital, they put security on all the doors and had a search then rang police, everyone was lovely about it and very understanding, they genuinely just cared about his safety. We have some amazing people who work in healthcare in Britain, we are very lucky.
I’m a 12 year old girl who wants to want to be surgeon when I’m older and I’m trying to as much as I can about doctors stuff and your videos are so good!

amazingabby25 yup I was in one of those hospital that usually has code green
amazingabby25 I had broken my foot in 5 places. In ER late on a Saturday night. Getting into ER I peed my pants in parking lot. Couldn't walk, couldn't get wheelchair fast enough. After getting my foot in temporary setting I was discharged to see doc on Monday. They gave me paperish green shorts/shirt. As my clothes were soaked. As I left on crutches nurse said if you get strange looks these green clothes are for our mental patients so hosp staff can identify them. I'll let lobby know you just needed clothes and not having mental issues. So green items mean same I guess.
Interesting. We use "code white" for an aggressive individual. "Code green" means evacuation. Also, we have "green sleeves", which are folders that indicate a person's goals of care. I'd get myself into all sorts of trouble wherever you are!
It’s an orange alert for us for a combative patient
Yesterday at my school we had a code red drill( active shooter ) when the dean went by and jiggled the door nob everyone jumped!
"Code Red, so this is *FIRE*"
Would you say this code...is lit?
Gasfiend Hahahahahaha good one

There is a lit fire in the ER! that’s would sound even more wrong in a hospital
Oldest joke in the book but still funny
This fire

I was in the hospital the other day I had a swollen bloody cut by my eye (not the reason for the visit) and they asked me if I was okay and if I felt safe to go home
@@s1lkyAng3l I've had that before. My doc was asking me one time. She saw what she suspected might be bruises on my face when she saw me. So, she had to ask. I told her that if someone HAD tried that shit on me...there would really be no need to ask...because he'd be DEAD!
Code blue got called on me when I was born, I was sleeping while I was born, they thought I was dead because I didn't wake up and I came out feet first

A madlad here lmaoo
Yes code blue in-depth please!
When my oldest was born I remember nursing her in the middle of the night when all if a sudden a code pink was called. All you heard was dozens of feet running to the exits searching for the missing newborn. Everything went on lockdown instantly. I remember holding my daughter tightly and crying for the mother of the lost baby.
Thankfully, there was no lost infant. A new mom charged her baby and put the soiled onesie and blanket in hamper in her room. Unfortunately, she didn't realize, probably from exhaustion, that she somehow accidentally removed the security tag aka baby low jack from her child and tossed it in with the dirty items. Soon the laundry staff came into her room to retrieve the clothes and linens. Once the staff member rolled her laundry bin containing the tag, across the security line, it set off the entire women's hospital and the connecting main hospital causing a lockdown, police response and mass panic. The person pushing the bin of laundry was stopped and contained immediately while staff searched her and the contents of the bin looking for a baby. Once the tag was found and scanned, it was confirmed that the newborn in question was safe in her mother's arms.
It was such a scary moment but I gained a whole new respect for my hospital for how swift and amazing they handled such a terrifying, potentially life changing moment.
Wow
Luckily, the majority of code pink stories I've heard of are completely benign with no issues like this. A parent walking around with their child accidentally crosses a slightly conservative threshold, the tag gets separated from the child, (especially with hospitals that use multiple tags) a tag doesn't get removed when the child is discharged, really bad timings with manual checks meaning staff can't determine the location of a child until everyone is locked down (which might be frustrating, but it is a trade off with having to make sure that the tags aren't the only thing preventing baby theft), etc.
I've got three questions for you, all based on standard practices in aviation.
1. You mentioned that for a Code Blue as a senior resident you were often the one giving orders. In commercial aviation and particularly for demanding situations, such as take-offs and landings, a formal distinction is made between the "pilot flying" and the "pilot observing." The former is so focused on the demands of flying, that even something as obvious as another plane entering the runway may be missed. Watching for that is the task of the pilot observing. Is there an equivalent for a code team-meaning something whose task is to simply observe. I've been a part of codes and I recall a team being so intensely focused on the immediate that something crucial might be missed.
2. In aviation, there are no-discussion responses, typically for situation where the response has to be instantaneous. For instance, if during a landing either pilot calls for "go around," that procedure is instantly followed. Only when that go around is successfully executed, do the pilots discuss why. Does medicine and particularly Code Blue responses have something similar? I can see a hospital having a policy that if anyone on staff wants to call a Code Blue, there's no discussion. The code is called and its necessity (or not) discussed later.
3. To counter the pressures on pilots to land in bad weather despite their misgivings, some airlines have no-fault policies. When the pilots of a plane decide to make a go round or to divert to another airport, there will no discipline even if that decision later proves questionable. Do hospitals have similar no-fault policies about matters such as calling a Code Blue? It could prevent unnecessary delay.
You don't have code pink? Hospitals I have been in use that for a missing baby from the maternity ward.
when i was in the hospital i studied the codes in canada. for here code pink is an issue on maternity. amber is missing child here
Actually today babies have an alarm bracelet to prevent an abduction
Marybeth Langendorf the bracelet doesnt prevent an abduction it triggers the code....in the states its code adam and all staff goes to the nearest exit to prevent the baby from leaving the building because the code goes off when they leave the wing and usually the pediatric/maternity wings are internal on upper floors to allow time for the code to take effect.
Not every hospital has a pediatric ward or a mother-babe ward, so not everywhere will have a specific code for a missing child. If you announced code Pink at my hospital no one would know what it was. On the otherhand, since we have both pysch and dementia wards where I work, we all listen very carefully to the description given during a code Yellow.
I know they have the bracelet too but they have the code pink as well. I’m not sure but I thought the bracelet basically alerted the baby ward and security. The code alerted everyone.
Dee-Anne Gordon in a hospital by me they for Mr Arms to report to whichever unit they are having a problem in, usually the psych ward.
My mom is an RN (med/surg Neuro) and they once had a code yellow because a patient snuck out to have a cigarette
Funny story, my mum was in the hospital after a surgery. She went outside to smoke (it was cleared dw) she told the nurse at the front desk but that nurse forgot to tell the others. So they went into her room and she wasn't there and they nearly called a code yellow lmao.

One time a code yellow was called on my mum because she had just been transferred from one hospital to another and they used coloured socks to recognise different types of patients or something and she was in socks that were a colour for her category in the previous hospital but after being in the new hospital for a few days she decided to leave to buy a drink from the sainsbury's around the corner and someone who worked for the hospital reported seeing a patient with yellow socks leaving the hospital in a wheelchair and the yellow socks signified alzheimers, dementia, senile, potentially confused etc and when me and my sister and dad arrived to the hospital to go to a meal with my mum all of the staff were in a frenzy because there was a missing patient but it was just my mum accidentally creating drama
Oh dear. As much as I sometimes wish we had a colour coding system to visually identify those types of patients, I'm also glad we don't, lol.
Where I work the colour of your socks only tells you if they're a small/medium/large size.

I overheard that the patient who the code was called for made it, so yay! Happy ending 😊✨

So, after a fatal incident happened years ago with an active shooter because of a misunderstanding of codes the California Hospital Associated made a standardized Emergency code book for American hospitals. My parents are both nurses and my dad worked in the medical center for a medium sized city (Bowling Green, Ky) before so I’ll ask him if he used these but here are some of the commonly used ones in America:
Green: Patient elopement (leaving before being discharged)
Red is fire,
Blue is medical/cardiac emergency for an adult patient,
White is for a pediatric emergency,
Pink is an infant abduction,
Purple is a pediatric abduction,
Grey is a combative person (no weapon),
Yellow is a bomb threat,
Orange is hazardous spill,
Silver is an armed person and/or hostage situation,
and Code Triage is for internal or external disasters.
Edit: After to a bit of searching the KHA (Kentucky Health Association) has mostly the same codes but Black for Bomb threats and Yellow is for activating an emergency disaster plan.
My goodness, those are almost all completely different from the system I'm used to.
The main codes in Australia:
Fire/smoke (Code red)
Medical emergency (Code blue)
Bomb threat (Code purple)
Infrastructure and other internal emergencies (Code yellow)
Personal threat (Code black)
External emergency (Code brown)
Evacuation (Code orange).
Where I live, we also have Cyclone (code white, I think?)
I was in the middle of a code white once! I was visiting my grandpa and the dude beside him was arguing with the nurse. He then proceeded to start to try and punch her. A code white was called and my family left the room until the man was calmed down. When we went back into the room he was tied down to his bed and was being transported to a different unit of the hospital
in mental psychiatry wards this type of code is extremely common. frustration about being in the hospital is very common and people often punch walls or other things and sometimes try to harm staff.

Do you guys also have codes for abducted/missing children/infant in the hospital? I live in the USA (Georgia, specifically) - and we have a Code Pink, which means that a child or newborn in the hospital has gone missing - whether as a patient or visitor.
Other than that, the codes I noticed were similar for me were Code Red, Blue, and Black. I think Code Triage here is the equivalent of what you have for Code Orange. Code Green here means severe weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.). I think Code Purple means a combative person instead of Code White. I'm not entirely sure. These are all the codes I can remember off the top of my head right now!
katie my hospital has code amber for a missing child and code mr for a missing adult
Generally in Canada (specifically Ontario) missing children in a hospital are a Code Amber. A code pink is respiratory distress in an infant under a month old.
In Nova Scotia missing children are Code ADAM
We also have code pink for child missing in bansal hospital Indiana
When i worked at the hospital (ER tech then moved on to EMT) We had code pink (cardiac/respiratory arrest now code blue). We also had CODE 99 which is all male personnel, usually called for an extremely combative patient, frequently in psych or the ER.
Code green you said that you just leave. Clearly you have to take all the patients with you.. Right? Can you talk more about that?

The hospitals I've worked in don't use a Code Green. But yes, the patients would be moved as quickly as safely as possible, first horizontally away from the danger, then vertically.

I lived with my aunt, uncle, and cousin for 2 years and we had a code brown. Basically 3 of us has IBS and other gastric problems and only one bathroom so if someone was in the bathroom showering or getting ready or whatever, if a code brown is called you MUST get out within 1 minute. We have even called a code brown ahead of time. We have a group chat with all of us in it and there have been times where one of us will be driving home and text a code brown. I was coming home from class one day and texted “CODE BROWN in 15 minutes” which basically lets everyone know the bathroom must be open because I’m arriving in 15 😂😂😂

Crazy how different these codes and colours can be, if I was in a Canadian hospital I would definitely be confused by some of these! At the hospital I work at in Australia, our codes are standardised for all hospitals in my state:
Red - Fire/Smoke
Orange - Evacuation (for any reason)
Purple - Bomb threat
Black - Personal threat (sounds like what you describe as a code white)
Yellow - Internal emergency (most of these are about IT problems affecting our online systems, but every now and then we get something like a hazardous spill)
Brown - External emergency
Blue - Medical emergency
We also have MET calls (medical emergency team), which is like a code blue but less serious. Examples could be a sudden change in patient BP, O2 sat, or consciousness, or could be something like a seizure (there's a bunch of guidelines about what constitutes a MET call vs when it has to be a code blue).
I work in a HUGE hospital with a massive children's hospital attached, so I hear over a dozen MET calls and code blues every day (thankfully not as many paediatric CBs!). So far this year we've had maybe two or three code yellows. In the 3 years I've been at this hospital I've only ever heard one code red, one code orange and one code black, never heard purple or brown yet!

Code Red activates the emergency blood transfusion protocol in the UK
Sara Stoltz I had code red called on me when I was in the ICU
Wait so there is codes in the UK from where I'm from
I thought that was code red. I've had loads of blood transfusions but I don't know if a code red was called.
Hospitals are so organised! I find this amazing
Yessss do a detailed cold blue video
Is there a code for a person with a dangerous disease? OR quarantine?
i was wondering abt that too. I know it's an actual thing its like " Infectious Disease Outbreak" or smth and its called when an infectious disease has escaped quarantine and where it is suspected. Im not sure because I dont really know medical stuff but thats about the gist of it.
@@ricekid456 Code Grey (Internal Diasaster) where i workm seems to be the only one that i would think it would be fall under.
Code black for my hospital
That would be a quarantine
At the hospital I work at, we have special negative pressure rooms where we put those with very deadly/infectious diseases. There are two doors per room, I regular door and one small one. The regular doors works normal, but the smaller door allows no air to escape the room so it cannot be transferred into the hallways. Then we have special masks, gloves, and gowns to visit them with.
I love that she is so excited talking about it! It makes me excited too!
I LOVE HER SMILE SO MUCH .. MAKES ME FEEL POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC 🥺❤️
Code Aqua Velva, when a male patient has too much cologne on, when he goes into the ER.
😂😂
xD
No, code Axe.
LOL!
Code Kyle
Question what if a code red then a code green goes off while a person is in life saving surgery?
Surgery continues I think?
I think the surgery continues as they are evacuating
Sometimes a patient has a wound that needs frequent attention (for example, the wound is infected and needs to be cleaned out frequently). In those cases, there’s some kind of plastic covering over it to lower risk of infection. i’d imagine that if a fire broke out during a life or death surgery, the surgeons would apply that covering. or maybe they’ll do like the band on the titanic and go down with the hospital while doing their job
whats a code green?
@@ihatechemistryyy you NEED to evacuate, most often called after there's been a code red (fire) or it might be after a bomb or shooter threat, but the last 2 definately don't happen often
A code blue happened to me when my lung collapsed after my spinal surgery it wasn’t very fun
Are you ok??
happy ur alive!
OMG ARE YOU OKAY?!?!?!?!?!?
there was a code blue while i was waiting in the er when i thought i broke my finger and like 20 mins later then had to have a moment of silence bc they had died😔
That’s so sad 😞 also hey BNHA fan
F
Is there an emergency code called for a suicidal patient?
Sebsanonlebus normally not a code they just call security to stabilize the patient and get them to settle down (not a doctor but an American suicidal patient)
Normally not needed most suicidal patients already have 1 on 1 nursing care and if the nurse needs extra hands due to rage that some people feel when suicidal they call security
mikayla gilboy listen. He said actively suicidal and thats what they did to me so
@@jackblue4759*she* and yeah, i'm talking like if someone is about to jump, or overdose in a hospital, what would happen
If they are in danger like we had a patient Jump from our parking Garage and it’s of course a code blue but if they are about to they would call a rapid and get medical staff and doctors there. If they are just talking like it they would call a the bert team for my hospital.
You should collab with Doctor Mike! He's in New York lol
Sarah Dodge they’ll make a great couple
IKR they should
I mean it could be a far commute for them to collab but if they really wanted to do some that sounds like a great idea
ehhhhh i live near dr. mike lol not jk'ing not literally near him btw but actually a long car ride away. i want to meet him so bad.
I listened to a song called "Code Yellow".
Now, even the title of the song gives me chills...
i kinda want to be a doctor because of these videos, its really cool how organised hospitals actually are
I've heard a code black twice before. At the time, I had no idea what it meant and only found out years later what it was. No idea how serious it really was.
Duckman1616 how did the whole hospital react?
No clue but no one in my area seems concerned about it. Granted, we weren't really in the part of the hospital that could easily be evacuated (and the doors in/out were all locked) so I don't think there's much they could have done anyway.
Time check: covert way of saying there’s a major security risk without starting a panic, the time that follows would be a code name for an area, for example time check 12:00 could be the main entrance has a security risk that requires more than just security staff to be made aware but you don’t want a panic from the general public, although I think this is an NHS invention
It is so strange, I'm a student, learning to be an English teacher, not someone in the medical field. And yet, I learn to much more from these vlogs than from most of my "hearing practises" haha
I have been watching your videos off and on over the last year and I think your videos are great and I am so proud to learn your Canadian!
I live in Nova Scotia and over 70,000 people here don't have a family doctor and our hospital has the highest mortality rate in the country.
Last week a local story made the CTV Atlantic news in which over a two week period a man was at the ER twice and died as a result of his bowl dieing while he was alive and then he died within days.
Anyway we need doctors like you in Canada so please keep doing what your doing and I can't wait to watch your med videos. Subscribed 🤗💜🇨🇦
My grandfather had a Code Yellow called on him. He left in the middle of the night, I think it was about 2-3AM and didn't tell anyone. It was crazy. We were in constant contact with the hospital, and of course they had constant contact with the police. My dad and I hauled *** to get over to my grandfather's place only to find him just 5 minutes away from his house with the police following him after making contact and being rejected for assistance. He was competent. But given the time of night and the state he was in (post-dialysis), they gave the code.
Yes please! Go into details about a Code Blue!
Enigura My Granda disappeared from a hospital too, we’re in England so I don’t know what codes they use but it was terrifying. It turns out that the doctor had told him he could go home that day and he thought it meant immediately and got a friend to take him home. Despite all the work he caused the hospital, they put security on all the doors and had a search then rang police, everyone was lovely about it and very understanding, they genuinely just cared about his safety. We have some amazing people who work in healthcare in Britain, we are very lucky.
I’m a 12 year old girl who wants to want to be surgeon when I’m older and I’m trying to as much as I can about doctors stuff and your videos are so good!
What surgeon ?
You have a long way ahead of you, I wish you the best of luck!
