Rapid Response and Code Blue Drills

Practice Makes Perfect

Regular drills prepare nurses for real-life emergencies, so that when a patient's status changes, the team acts quickly and confidently.

Key Elements

  • Recognize early warning signs of deterioration.
  • Know your role during a code.
  • Practice using emergency equipment.

Why Drill?

The more you practice, the more automatic your response will be, reducing errors and improving patient outcomes.

Examples

  • Participating in a simulated code blue to practice using the defibrillator.

  • Responding to a rapid response call for a patient with sudden hypotension.
