Sadly a Code Blue has been called for me. I am very blessed to still be here. I owe my life to my doctors and nurses.

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!

[Plowingurmom]

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 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.

I would LOVE a detailed video about code blue!

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.

0:03 I don't know why but I like how her head is tilted like that... Very comforting. Like she's telling you everything's gonna be alright

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.

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.

"Code Red, so this is *FIRE*"
Would you say this code...is lit?

[bluebarrrytears]

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

[amazingabby]

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

Code blue video!! I’m a nurse and it would be awesome to hear it from your perspective

[questionable]

Code yellow in a lot of Australian hospitals is basically “all operations cease” only focus on patients.

[achillendimond]

My mom is an RN (med/surg Neuro) and they once had a code yellow because a patient snuck out to have a cigarette

*you should watch a greys anatomy episode and point out what’s likely to happen in a hospital and what’s not🙂🤠*

[urja]

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

[musicgurl]

I was in the ER for a viral infection and I heard them say “code blue” and a bunch of people started running
