When a Code Sepsis is called at our facility the responders are the Rapid Response Nurse (usually the CCU charge nurse), Resp. Therapy, and the phlebotomist. I am the Sepsis Coordinator and if I am in-house, I will respond as well. Typically the CCU charge nurse does not have patients. The charge nurse designates a second person to respond if the charge nurse cannot or is occupied with another Code (Stroke, Blue, etc.). We also have our house supervisors respond as backup. Hope this helps you.

In our facility, once the code is initiated lab and an ICU nurse respond to the code. In ER, no one responds. The ICU nurse that responds typically has ICU patients of their own. I feel like our sepsis scores/outcomes would greatly improve if we implemented a Rapid Response nurse or something of that sort on all shifts (We do not have an actual RR team). During the weekdays, I will respond to codes to offer assistance/support. We are greatly missing out on night and weekend coverage though. Please respond with what your facility does and the impact it has so that I can help support my idea with other facilities practices. Thank you all in advance!
