Adult-Allentown & Bethlehem Process Review 2013 St. Luke’s University Health Network

3 Objectives At the completion of this education, the participant will be able to: Identify the different roles and responsibilities of nursing staff during a Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma. List necessary laboratory tests obtained during a Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma. Utilize the Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma Record for documentation and critique.

4 Code Crimson/ Code Crimson Trauma
Complete replacement of a patient’s blood volume or a 10 unit PRBC transfusion requirement over 24 hours Typically present in hemorrhagic shock Treatment Rapid surgical control of hemorrhage Replacement of intravascular volume with appropriate blood components

5 What’s the Difference??? Code Crimson: A page alert designated to activate the alert team members to respond to a non-trauma massive transfusion event. Code Crimson Trauma: Designated for trauma patients. A physician or his/her designee will call the operator to announce the location. Exception: Trauma Bay and Bethlehem OR will call Blood Bank directly for all Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma alerts.

6 What’s the Difference??? Adult Code Crimson: Pediatric Code Crimson:
Patient age is >14 years Can be a Code Crimson or a Code Crimson Trauma Pediatric Code Crimson: Patient age is >30 days and <14 years Neonatal Code Crimson: Patient age is <30 days

7 What’s the Same? Processing of Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma blood will receive the highest priority in the blood bank, using either O negative or O positive units. Trauma and Non-trauma adult patients will receive the same quantity and type of blood products.

8 Blood Bank Communication
Blood Bank will contact dept. instituting the Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma Obtain gender & age of patient Exception: Trauma Bay and OR (Allentown and Bethlehem) will call Blood Bank directly and indicate gender & age of patient

9 Blood Products Trauma and Non-trauma adults will receive:
Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma-Cycle I 6 units PRBCs 4 units FFP 1 Single Donor Platelet

20 What happens after the Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma is over?
Charge RN: Notifies the Blood Bank immediately that the Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma has stopped. Coordinates the re-stocking of the Code Crimson Packet (i.e. lab tubes and lab ordering slips) Primary RN: Coordinates all unused blood products are returned to the Blood Bank immediately. Recorder/Scribe RN: Completes the Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma Record and Critique. Ensures original record is placed on chart and copies are sent to the appropriate department.

21 What if the patient is transferred to another level of care during the Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma?

Primary RN: Provides SBAR hand-off report to receiving department, including total amount and type of blood products received and amount and type waiting for transfusion.

All transfusionists must sign documentation form During hand-off, recorder/scribe RN and primary nurse will provide their signatures in the Clinical Notes section of the documentation form Recorder/scribe RN and primary nurse ending the Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma will provide signatures on the designated area

23 What if all the blood products from Cycle I have been transfused, but the physician wants more blood products? Immediately after Cycle I blood products have been transported, the Blood Bank will begin preparing Cycle II. Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma continues until the lead physician orders to stop. Cycle II-Bethlehem only 4 PRBCs 4 FFP 1 Single Donor Platelet

24 Cycle II Immediately after transporting Cycle I, the runner will return to the Blood Bank to transport Cycle II. The Blood Bank will send a new Code Crimson/Code Crimson Trauma Record with each subsequent cycle.
