{{About|the medical practice|the programming term|algorithmic efficiency}}
'''Slow code''' refers to the practice in a [[hospital]] or other medical centre to purposely respond slowly or incompletely to a patient in [[cardiac arrest]], particularly in situations for which [[cardiopulmonary resuscitation]] (CPR) is thought to be of no medical benefit by the medical staff.{{sfn|New York Times|1987}} The related term '''show code''' refers to the practice of a medical response that is medically futile, but is attempted for the benefit of the patient's family and loved ones. However, the terms are often used interchangeably.{{sfn|New York Times|1987}}
 
The practices are banned in some jurisdictions.
