Understanding Hospital Codes: Code Blue, Red, Black & Pink

Code Blue refers to a medical emergency in which a patient experiences cardiac arrest requiring immediate attention and CPR(Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).

Code Red indicates a fire on the premises, necessitating an emergency evacuation

and response from the healthcare facility's fire safety team.

Code Black can represent a bomb threat or suspicious package requiring specialized protocols for handling such security concerns on healthcare grounds.

Code Pink signals an infant or newborn abduction or safety breach within the hospital. Its usage aims to promptly secure hospital security to ensure the child's welfare.

Code Orange often implies hazardous spill containment and control. This could involve situations where chemicals, pharmaceuticals, or bodily fluids require proper cleanup and adherence to safety measures within the medical context.
