"Many hospitals call it "code blue," a signal given over the intercom when a patient's heart has stopped. When code blue works well, a team speeds to the bedside and revives the patient. The graveyard shift is the worst time to call code blue, a new study finds. Patients who go into cardiac arrest while in the hospital are more likely to die if it happens after 11 p.m., when staffing may be lower or patients watched less closely.Hey, you were right, that meal really was to die for.
The study was based on an analysis of more than 86,000 cardiac arrests in more than 500 hospitals over seven years."
