This is a no-brainer question. Of course you would respond. It is tempting to assume that certainly someone else would be there to respond, and that it typically true, but you don't want to be seen as the type of person who would need to hear the code called repeatedly before you were to respond.

"Unless I was managing a clinically unstable situation or in the middle of a procedure, I would respond. I would only drop out if there were others available whom I felt were more qualified to attend the code."
