Code management
The document provides information about code blue cardiac nursing care. It outlines the objectives of presenting code blue protocols which include describing the purpose of code language, mechanisms of cardiac arrest, and the treatment hierarchy. It then details the primary components of responding to a code blue including performing CABD (Circulation, Airway, Breathing, Defibrillation) surveys and administering appropriate medications. The document provides details on cardiac arrest mechanisms, contributing factors, medications used, documentation, and post-resuscitation care with the goal of successful resuscitation.

Editor's Notes
- #11 The first steps in all emergency treatment are quickly assess responsiveness, activate the EMS system, assess the ABCs, and if indicated start CPR and hunt for VF with the AED. The Primary ABCD Survey of the ACLS Approach is an effective way to remember these steps. Some people in apparent cardiac arrest will respond to the initial actions: A, opening the airway; B, performing ventilations; and C, performing chest compressions. These steps can also identify victims of an obstructed airway, which must be cleared. For patients without a pulse, the Primary ABCD Survey makes no mention of IV access. This is intentional. Although medications provide a clinical benefit in cardiac resuscitation, medications remain a distant second in the Primary ABCD Survey.
