The Code Blue Record was changed in preparation for the participation of Aultman Hospital in the American Heart Association (AHA) Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation (GWTG-R) Program. • The additional sections will allow for more efficient data entry into the GWTG-R database by Intensivist team nurses. Why was the Code Blue Record Changed?

  10. GWTG-R is a program that allows hospitals to enter and review arrest events. • The participating hospitals can then make changes to ensure that they are providing the best possible outcomes for their patient populations. • Individual hospital data can be compared to other similar facilities participating in the GWTG-R program. • Participating hospitals will be eligible to receive Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards based on the achievement of set outcomes. What is GWTG-R?

  11. Following the Code Blue event, the white copy of the Code Blue Record should be placed on the patient’s medical record. • The yellow carbon copy of the Code Blue Record should be detached, placed in an envelop and sent to Medical Intensive Care or Justin Hamilton, Critical Care Coordinator through Interoffice Mail. (CCU nurses: please note we have these envelopes on our code carts!!) What is GWTG-R? CONTINUED

Hospitals must achieve 85% compliance in the following four outcomes to be recognized by the AHA for GWTG-R awards: • Time to first chest compressions <= 1 minute in adult and pediatric patients. • Time to first shock <= 2 minutes for VF (Ventricular Fibrillation)/pulseless VT (Ventricular Tachycardia) first documented rhythm. • Pulseless cardiac events monitored or witnessed at the time of arrest. • Device confirmation of correct endotracheal tube placement (End Tital CO2 Cap or Capnometry device supplied with all endotracheal intubation trays presently on Code Carts).
