ACTAutomatic Code Blue TeamThis page shows how ACT is used day to day in a hospital – who does what, what happens minute by minute, and how outcomes are reviewed.
The app adapts automatically to the account type. Each role only sees the menus that match its job.
Times are illustrative only – the app records the actual time of every action.
The nurse opens ACT and taps PATIENT UNRESPONSIVE (or says “start”). The event clock starts.
Voice guidance: make it safe, call the patient’s name, tap the shoulders. Answer with big buttons or by voice.
Pick the location and bed, then one tap on ACTIVATE CODE BLUE. The app reminds you to ask for an AED.
A full-screen alarm and siren appear on Code Blue Team phones, and the location is spoken. No more phone trees.
10-second countdown, then 30:2 CPR with a 100–120/min metronome. When the AED arrives, pad & shock guidance is ready.
Team members tap RESPOND and choose a role: compressions, airway, or circulation/documentation.
The User taps “handover”. The team runs 2-minute cycles: rhythm checks, shocks, epinephrine, amiodarone – with timed prompts.
Post-ROSC vitals are recorded, or resuscitation is stopped with an outcome. The summary & timeline are built automatically.
The event appears in reports: response time, time to CPR, number of shocks & drugs. Print-ready for review meetings.
Situation. At 2 a.m., during rounds, a nurse finds a patient not breathing normally. Few colleagues are on the ward.
The team knows the exact location instantly; arrest-to-CPR time is recorded.
Situation. An ED patient collapses during observation. The monitor shows ventricular fibrillation.
No missed doses or drug times; a timeline ready for the medical record.
Situation. A patient’s relative suddenly collapses in the lobby. The nearest staff member is BLS-trained.
Events outside clinical areas are coordinated just like on the ward.
Situation. The event happens in an area with an unstable network.
Response does not depend on signal; data stays complete.
Situation. During the C-A-B check, a pulse is found but the patient needs monitoring.
“Near-arrest” events are documented too.
Situation. After several cycles, a pulse returns.
A complete summary for handover to the ICU.
Situation. Management wants to know how fast the team responds and where events happen most.
Review and audit material without manual tallying.
Situation. New nurses join, some move units, and a phone is reported lost.
Access stays controlled and easy to manage.
Open the ACT link from your coordinator, choose “Add to Home Screen”, enter your staff ID & PIN from the slip.
Tap PATIENT UNRESPONSIVE or say “start”. If the phone is locked, use the EMERGENCY button.
Safetyresponseactivate Code Blue (choose location & bed)check pulse & breathing.
Follow the 30:2 metronome. When the AED arrives, follow the pad and shock guidance.
When the team arrives, tap “handover”. The summary is saved in History.
Required for the team: allow notifications so the phone rings on every Code Blue.
Tap RESPOND. Location & bed are shown in large type.
Compressions, airway, or circulation/documentation – as agreed on scene.
2-minute timer, rhythm & pulse checks, shocks, epinephrine, amiodarone, H’s & T’s – all logged.
Enter vitals or end the resuscitation. Summary & timeline appear automatically.
Open the Admin page, enter the admin PIN, and change the default PIN right away.
Set the hospital name, Code Blue extension, and the list of locations/wards.
Add users, choose User or Code Blue Team, and send PIN slips via WhatsApp.
Review response time, time to CPR & ROSC rate by period and location.
Open each event with its timeline; print or export to CSV/Excel.
Activation, team arrival, CPR, shock, and drug times are recorded automatically – not estimated.
BLS & ACLS steps follow AHA 2020 and can be adapted to hospital SOPs.
Second-by-second timeline with staff names, ready to print for the medical record.
Monthly statistics by location for committee meetings, refresher training, and internal audits.
No. ACT is a web app (PWA): open it from a link and add it to the home screen. It runs on Android, iPhone, tablets, and PCs.
To keep the flow clear: the User at the scene calls, the Code Blue Team responds. If a team member finds a patient, the call is made by the ward nurse (User) or via the hospital’s Code Blue extension.
No. Full-screen alarms go only to Code Blue Team phones, so other nurses are not disturbed.
BLS guidance keeps working. Calls and records are stored on the phone and sent automatically when the network returns. A Code Blue extension call button is available as backup.
Yes, on iOS 16.4 or later, once ACT is added to the home screen and notification permission is granted.
The coordinator taps “Reset device” on that account, then the nurse registers again on the new phone with their staff ID & PIN. Each account is active on one phone only.
No. ACT is a guidance and documentation aid; clinical decisions remain with the medical team. Locations and workflow can be adapted to your SOPs.
Usually a few days: configure locations, register users, install on phones, then run a megacode simulation with the team.
We help align the protocol with your hospital SOPs, train your teams, and evaluate Code Blue performance.
