How long should a code blue last?
Question:
Answers:
Do you mean in a hospital? When a patient goes into cardiac arrest, the hospital must summon the Code Blue team within seconds. Once they arrive at bedside or wherever, the Code Blue announcement over the PA is normally ended. The team immediately goes to work to resuscitate the patient or pronounce the patient dead.
Until the patient is resuscitated and stabilized or the physicians in the room pronounce the patient dead.
Depends on the situation, as long as 30 minutes.
