The og answer is correct, I’m just going to explain it a bit more. Since the code has been called, there are possible casualties and possible patients that will come into your care, but are not yet in your care. Your primary responsibility is to take care of the patient who is there with you. Elective surgery will be canceled and rescheduled. You should bring the patient back to their room and get them discharged as soon as possible. You will then meet with your attendings team and they will instruct you on protocol and your function until the code is called off or resolved
