Emergency codes are often used in hospitals to identify significant emergencies. The most noted, "code blue," almost universally represents cardiac arrest.[1] "Code red" commonly represents a fire emergency, in which case staff are to follow R.A.C.E. procedures.[2] Other codes often vary by facility.
