Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Palliative Care
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Hospital resuscitation events, or code blues, are high-stress situations impacting patient goals and outcomes.
  • These events can be psychologically traumatic for patients, their surrogates, and healthcare providers, irrespective of the outcome.

Observation:

  • A case study of a hospitalized patient experiencing a code blue is presented.
  • The roles of interdisciplinary palliative care team members during the resuscitation event are detailed.

Findings:

  • Palliative care team members' specialized skills can be integrated at each stage of a resuscitation.
  • This integration aims to enhance patient and family support and reduce suffering.

Implications:

  • Integrating palliative care into resuscitation protocols can improve the care experience during critical events.
  • This approach highlights the potential for palliative care to mitigate trauma and improve outcomes in acute hospital settings.
