CHAPTER ONE

1.1. Introduction

Code blue team whose trained well and have competent members saves patients lives quickly and effectively. Through early recognition and intervention by high- performance teams thereby reversing clinical death (Cynthia et al., 2014). By respond to victim who has signs of cardiac arrest (unresponsive , no breathing and no pulse ). cardiac arrest identified as heart stop circulating blood throughout the body , because of heart failure to contract effectively causes heart stop beating and not pumps blood to the body. Subsequently, the patient doesn't have pulse and become unconscious ; If no resuscitation intervention attempts to return of spontaneous blood circulation,and palpable …show more content…

Intervention Details

The organization development project plan to an implement evidence based best practice of mock simulation training to achieve the related aim and objectives of the project. The plan to be conduct over six month period training on Weekly basis on any given day or shift to the healthcare providers who might encounter a cardiac arrest in various units throughout the hospital.
The mock codes to be conduct within actual units in the hospital, to create a realistic environment and replicate the steps of resuscitation events with surprise mock codes (simulation) scenario by practice on high – fidelity simulation manikins to provide a realistic mock simulation scenario.

"Mock Code" training focusing on the staff in their area: the primary nurse starting the scenario by recognition the cardiac arrest and activate the code, calling for additional help, starting high-quality chest compression, using AED. The stimulated code scenario lasted 10 minutes followed by 15 minutes debriefing.
Debriefing provide an opportunity for feedback to enhance and develop clinical resuscitation skills in emergency setting and compliance with AHA standards and quality core measures of high quality performance of resuscitation . The change model propose for implementation plan of change is( health service executive) HSE model stages (HSE , …show more content…

Gantt chart was prepared with listed tasks in a change project against a timeframe (Appendix 2). The Gantt chart consist of project stage and sub-stage starting from initiation, planning implementation and evaluation phases.

1.7. Change agent Role and the Team in the project.
Critical care in MQ hospital, specifically cardiac intensive care unit ,where a code blue team established aim to respond to cardiac arrest call in any unit or clinic or department in the organization . Code teams generally face a series of events and circumstances. So accordingly, the staff should have mandatory training for healthcare provider of standardized life support courses including ; basic life support (BLS) ,advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) .

Since, I am CICU charge nurse and one of code blue member and ACLS instructor planning to work as trainer and coach for mock code proposal project. With cooperation of an in-service education and discussing the objectives of the project that desire to be achieve with critical care unit manager and code blue committee. In addition to inform senior management for planning and implementation of the project by building commitment and getting approval
