Code Panda

A code, commonly announced overhead in urban Emergency Departments for assistance in medicating and restraining a violent or intoxicated patient. The code is used to avoid announcing a "take-down", which would warn a patient that he will be restrained. Originated at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx.

We had to code panda a naked man on K2 the other day.
