When seconds determine survival, effective resuscitation can mean the difference between life and loss. Recognizing this critical gap, Prof. M Dato’ Dr. Rishya Manikam has pioneered a new approach — the Dr Riman Resus Model™, designed to redefine how medical teams respond during a Code Blue emergency.
The Challenge of Code Blue
A Code Blue represents one of the most high-stress scenarios in healthcare: a patient in cardiac or respiratory arrest. Traditional resuscitation often struggles with coordination, delayed response, or breakdown in communication between teams — all of which can compromise outcomes.
The Dr Riman Resus Model™
The Dr Riman Resus Model™ is a systematic, team-based resuscitation framework that brings clarity, structure, and precision to Code Blue events. Developed through years of hands-on experience and simulation-based research, this model emphasizes:
- Clear team roles and leadership hierarchy
- Structured communication protocols to eliminate confusion
- Efficient task distribution among responders
- Real-time performance monitoring for rapid feedback and improvement
This model integrates evidence-based best practices with human factor engineering, ensuring that every responder knows exactly what to do — and when.
Training Through Simulation
Through The Resus Guru™ program and specialized Code Blue workshops, Dr. Rishya and his team have trained hundreds of healthcare professionals using this model. The sessions incorporate high-fidelity simulations, structured debriefings, and performance analytics to strengthen both technical and non-technical skills.
Impact and Innovation
Early adoption of the Dr Riman Resus Model™ has shown measurable improvements in response times, communication efficiency, and patient survival outcomes. By transforming how Code Blue events are handled, this model not only enhances medical performance but also cultivates a culture of confidence and collaboration among healthcare teams.
The Future of Resuscitation
The Dr Riman Resus Model™ is more than a protocol — it’s a paradigm shift in emergency medicine. It represents a future where every second counts, and every action is guided by clarity, teamwork, and purpose.
