2NURSING Introduction Healthcare professionals in the contemporary era need to be highly skilled and efficientfor addressing evolving needs of patients through advanced technologies. In critical care domain,one of the most significant and critical care processes is resuscitation. Resuscitation refers to theprocess of improving physiological disorders in patients who are accurately unwell Hospitalemergency codesare coded messages that are to be announced over apublic address systemof ahospital for alerting on-site emergencies.Code blue indicates that there is an emergency as aresult of a patient suffering cardiac arrest.Research indicates that professionals must considermaximum available evidences and existing literature for practicing resuscitation. The AustralianResuscitation Council (ARC) is a voluntary co-ordinating body in Australia involved in thepractice and teaching of resuscitation. It is significant to follow the same since the guidelines ishighly evidence-based, bringing in key insights from research into practice. The guideline thusmeets the objective of fostering simplicity and uniformity in resuscitation techniques. In thepresent paper an attempt is made to come up with a media annotation that reviews the videotitled “Code Blue’, focusing on resuscitation on an arrest scenario. A critical analysis is done toidentify the strengths and weaknesses of the procedure undertaken in light of the AustralianResuscitation Council guidelines and existing evidences in literature. Recommendations are putforward for better practice change. A meticulous analysis of the video was undertaken to understand the aspects of practicethat were poor and non-complying with the guidelines. Comparison with existing literature wasalso done to understand the relevant research that supported the guidelines. The breaches to the
3NURSINGARC guidelines are to be discussed first. This would include technical as well as no technicalskills as deemed fit for resuscitation process. Early recognition The healthcare professionals are to carry out DRS ABCD (dangers, responsiveness, send,airway, breathing, CPR, defibrillation) assessment in the process of resuscitation. At the verybeginning of the video it is noted that the nurse calls out to her fellow nurse upon understandingthat the patient she was attending was in need of urgent support [.0.06 secs]. A rich pool ofliterature indicates that nurses are supposed to use the emergency button for contacting otherprofessionals in the time of urgency. The aim is to reduce the time required for attending thepatient and providing with first line of care (Song et al., 2016; Aneman et al., 2015). All healthcare facilities providing critical care are to have provision for emergency button so that theprocess of resuscitation can be commenced appropriately. According to (Wurster et al., 2017) the most important step is patient assessment prior toresuscitation is assessment of the airway. The rationale is that proper airway managementincreases the chances of speedy recovery. There were certain aspects in the resuscitation processthat were not apparently weaknesses, but could not be adjudged as strengths also. Firstly, thoughthe absence of seal in airway management process was a weakness, good non-technical skillswas evident in that the nurse asked for assistance without delay. Acknowledging failure tocomply standards and seeking assistance is appreciable (Ali et al., 2017). Further, the breathingpattern of the patients was assessed by the nurse from distant height. As opined by (Tasker,2016) an unresponsive patient is to be assessed properly for breathing pattern which entails theprofessional to be at a suitable position near the patient. The nurse also did not adjust the height
