The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of the Blue Code protocol in the emergency department of the ESE Regional Hospital of Magdalena Medio in Barrancabermeja Santander; This is answered with the realization of a field diary that consists of analyzing in real time the implementation of the protocol by the health personnel at the time of the emergency.
