Which of the following is NOT a type of specialty alert?

The type of specialty alerts are designed to facilitate specialized care for patients with specific conditions. Trauma, stroke, and sepsis alerts help ensure that healthcare facilities can prepare for and effectively manage patients presenting with these serious conditions.

Trauma alerts are activated to expedite the treatment of patients suffering from traumatic injuries, ensuring that trauma centers are ready to deliver immediate care. Stroke alerts enable rapid assessment and intervention for patients who may be having a stroke, which is critical given the time-sensitive nature of stroke treatment. Similarly, sepsis alerts trigger immediate protocols for recognizing and treating septic patients, improving patient outcomes through timely intervention.

Cardiac arrest, while a critical medical emergency, is generally managed through established resuscitation protocols rather than a specialty alert specific to a condition. During a cardiac arrest, the focus is primarily on immediate resuscitation efforts rather than preparing a facility for specialized care based on a pre-identified alert system. Therefore, it does not fit within the category of specialty alerts like the other conditions listed.
