| Abstract |
Purposes/Aims: This project aims to implement pre-determined roles for code blue situations; and create additional education using mock code scenarios to improve team dynamics and; confidence for emergency room nurses as the code blue responders.; Rationale/Background: Currently, the lack of standardization in code blue education and role; assignment decreases the overall team dynamics. The American Heart Association (2024); recommends role assignments during a cardiac arrest situation to ensure effective resuscitation.; Assigned roles support high-functioning teams and improved outcomes.; Methods: Pre- and post-surveys evaluate the effect of team dynamics and nurse confidence on; applying pre-determined role assignments and adding mock code practice to education. Predetermined; roles are assigned to the emergency department code team based on the scope of; practice. Nurses attend an in-service education session about using pre-deten11ined roles, are; provided with an infographic visual aid, and apply the education to a mock code practice; scenano.; Results: The results show that with pre-determined roles and additional education, emergency; room nurses are more confident in their ability to respond and improve communication in team; dynamics during a code blue event.; Conclusions: Adding pre-determined roles and additional mock code education into routine; cardiac or respiratory arrest processes, emergency room nurses identified improvements in team; dynamics and the overall function of code blue team dynamics. |
