When my son was in picu I asked bc the hospital we were in used code red. There are no standard definitions or conventions for the use of codes in hospitals I was told by the nurse. While code blue does refer to a cardiopulmonary arrest at many hospitals, it doesn't necessarily mean the same thing everywhere.
