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.

[@carlenebrennan]

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.

[@mackenzierichardson5450]

Wow

[@bandana_girl6507]

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.

Actually today babies have an alarm bracelet to prevent an abduction

[@trentbergin3776]

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.

[@dee-annegordon5959]

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.

[@muggs00]

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.

[@Inkling777]

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.

[@paincreatesfame]

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 💙💙💙

Our Australia standard codes are very different. Red - fire Blue - medical Purple - bomb threat Yellow - internal emergency Black - personal threat Brown - external Orange - evacuation

[@tiaaaraaa]

Omg I just remembered I think I had a code white called on me when I was 9. I went in for surgery and I had a bad reaction to the pain meds and it didn’t work. I was kicking, screaming, crying, cursing and much more. I couldn’t even think straight and all I remember saying was “TWO” then I blacked out.

I probably almost had a code white pulled on me.

But luckily they just held my feet and arms down.

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 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

[@nobodyimportant7290]

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.

Can you put these codes in the description of your videos so I can check those because I will forget them

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!

[@MethuselahWinter]

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.

[@FraeuleinPanda]

I'm a nursing student (nearly finished) in Germany and we don't have codes in the hospital. In case of an resuscition, we have an alarm bell. It's the sound of the normal call bell, but faster. And then we call the resusciation team. The team consists of Doctors and Nurses from the ICU.

[@misseselise3864]

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

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!

[@shearerslegs]

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.
