Debriefing a code: why bother and how to accomplish it in under ten minutes

For a long time as an attending, I was very uncomfortable with the idea of debriefing a code. Debriefing was not happening after every code. I felt awkward initiating the debriefing session and did not feel like I knew what I was doing. The clinical team never seemed excited about them. Overall, they just did not have the effect I was hoping for. At first I thought it was me, but then I noticed that this occurrence was not unique to me. It appeared that a lot of my colleagues shared the same discomfort that I did.
