Code Red?Code Blue?CodeBlack.當(dāng)人們在公共場所（尤其是醫(yī)院）聽到這些名詞的時候,總不免疑問：”美國電視廣播公司的連續(xù)劇《女實習(xí)醫(yī)師格蕾》2006年的一集名字就是“codeblack”,似乎又重燃了大家對這個關(guān)于“code”的話題的興趣.嚴(yán)格意義上講,對于“code”并沒有一個正式的定義,不過醫(yī)生多用來表示診所或醫(yī)院中的病人發(fā)生心肺衰竭,需要一組特定人員（通常也叫他們code team）立即進行緊急復(fù)蘇.Code Red?Code Blue?Code Black?People sometimeswonder what these terms mean if they happen to hear them used in ahospital (or more likely,hear them used on a TV seriesaboutdoctors).The ABC TV series Grey’s Anatomy?seemsto have sparked a renewed interest in the topic of Codes?inmedicine with their 2006 episode entitled Code Black?Technically,there’s no formal definition for a Code?but doctors often use theterm as slang for a cardiopulmonary arrest happening to a patientin a hospital or clinic,requiring a team of providers (sometimescalled a Code team) to rush to the specific location and beginimmediate resuscitative efforts.每個醫(yī)院或者診所都可以決定如何應(yīng)緊急情況.許多機構(gòu)應(yīng)用顏色（如CodeRed,CodeBlue）來表明不同類型的緊急情況.Code Red,Code Blue都是常用來表示心肺衰竭的術(shù)語.其他類型的緊急情況（比如炸彈威脅,恐怖活動,兒童虐待或者mass casualities）也有不同的專用code.一般code之后出現(xiàn)的顏色和數(shù)字就表示特定的緊急情況類型.例如codepink通常用來警告保安醫(yī)院育嬰室有嬰兒丟失!Each hospital or clinic can decide how it wishesto manage and inform staff of potential emergencies.Manyinstitutions use colors (e.g.Code Red,Code Blue) to identifyspecific types of emergencies.Code Red?and Code Blue?are bothterms that are often used to refer to a cardiopulmonary arrest,butother types of emergencies (for example bomb threats,terroristactivity,child abductions,or mass casualties) may be givenCode?designations too.Colors,numbers,or other designations mayfollow a Code?announcement to identify the type of emergency thatis occurring.(Code pink is often used to alert security that ababy is missing from the hospital nursery!)有些醫(yī)院通過公共通訊系統(tǒng)發(fā)出緊急情況警報,也有的醫(yī)院只通過傳呼系統(tǒng)通知必要的人員.而且應(yīng)用code術(shù)語的也不僅限于醫(yī)療機構(gòu).其他機構(gòu),比如辦公大樓,學(xué)校,政府機關(guān)也會用code術(shù)語發(fā)出緊急情況警報.Some hospitals announce emergencies (Codes) overa public address system,while others just alert the necessarypersonnel via a pager system.Also,the use of the term Code tosignify that an emergency is occurring is not limited to medicalpractice.Other institutions,such as office buildings,schools,orgovernment facilities may use Code designations to alert personnelthat an emergency is occurring.總而言之,沒有關(guān)于code術(shù)語的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)定義或者概念.盡管code blue在很多醫(yī)院就是指心肺衰竭,但也不是在所有地方都是一樣的.不過,盡管你并不清楚你所聽到的通知的含,但有一點,在突發(fā)事件發(fā)生的時候,每一個醫(yī)院或機構(gòu)都有自己的方式和渠道來提醒員工,每一個醫(yī)生或者員工也都經(jīng)過培訓(xùn)來識別這些信號并且做出準(zhǔn)確反應(yīng).
