Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2013 In an emergency, every second determines a\npatient\u2019s survival. Patients therefore require a fast and coordinated\nmedical response.<\/p>\n
For this reason, hospitals implement Code Blue, an emergency\nactivation system signalling that a patient is in a critical condition,\nsuch as cardiac or respiratory arrest, requiring immediate intervention.\nWhen Code Blue is activated, a specially trained medical team\nimmediately mobilises to provide treatment according to the patient\u2019s\ncondition.<\/p>\n
Dr Agung Fabian Chandranegara, Sp.JP(K), FIHA, of Mayapada Hospital\nSouth Jakarta and Tangerang, explained that in cardiac arrest, the blood\nflow carrying oxygen to the brain and other vital organs stops. Without\nimmediate intervention, the patient\u2019s chance of survival can decline\nsignificantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why speed of response, precision of action, and coordination\namong the medical team are critical factors in saving patients\u2019 lives,\u201d\nhe said in an official statement on Monday (7\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n
Code Blue handling essentially involves a medical team comprising\ndoctors, nurses, anaesthesia staff and other medical personnel who hold\nBasic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS)\ncertification.<\/p>\n
In practice, the medical team may perform a range of interventions,\nfrom cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and assisted ventilation, to\nthe use of a defibrillator to restore the heart rhythm when needed, as\nwell as the administration of medication and follow-up treatment\naccording to the patient\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n
These interventions require good team coordination and a structured\nhandling system so that every step can be carried out quickly and\naccurately.<\/p>\n
Dr Rerdin Julario, Sp.JP(K), of Mayapada Hospital Surabaya, said that\nin cardiac arrest cases, every stage of resuscitation must be performed\naccording to standard, so that blood circulation and oxygen supply to\nvital organs can be restored as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Code Blue relies not only on response speed but on overall\nsystem readiness, from clear emergency protocols and competent medical\npersonnel to ready-to-use resuscitation equipment, as well as regular\ntraining and simulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis way, every medical team can make decisions and deliver\ntreatment quickly, accurately, and in line with international\nstandards,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Mayapada Hospital Surabaya (MHSB) is known as an example of a\nhospital implementing Code Blue, having won the top prize in the East\nJava-level Code Blue and Basic Life Support competition. In the\ncompetition, MHSB demonstrated its capabilities in response speed,\nclinical precision, team coordination and emergency readiness.<\/p>\n
As part of its emergency preparedness efforts, Mayapada Hospital\noffers a 24\/7 Emergency service supported by complete facilities, with\nspecialist and sub-specialist doctors on standby on site, including\nanaesthesiologists available around the clock for cases requiring\nsurgery. The service is available at all Mayapada Hospital units in\nJakarta (Lebak Bulus, Kuningan and Cakung), Tangerang, Bogor, Surabaya,\nBandung and Nusantara, and can be accessed via the emergency call line\n150990 or through the MyCare application.<\/p>\n
