CPR Tempo 17+

Great just for keeping tempo, but doesn’t actually keep count of your cycles or tell you when to do breaths. It would be excellent if that feature could be added. One of the most difficult parts of CPR is keeping count and not losing track! Still, for a free app, this is great - a great help to anyone who finds him/herself in need to perform CPR.

Really love this App. I use it every time we have a cardiac arrest at the fire department. The lay out is crazy simple, setting a default metronome compression rate is great and the secondary ques for rhythm checks and epinephrine are also helpful. All this, coupled with the time stamping feature really enables who ever is running the arrest to have faith in charting accuracy, while freeing up another team member to complete tasks rather than chart in the computer.

I have a couple suggestions.
Cut the "Defibrillator" and "Epinephrine" buttons in half and slightly reduce the size of the heart so you can add a few more buttons: 1. IV/IO 2. Airway 3. Amioderone. Other apps have a litency of features beyond this, but they overcomplicate by taking you away to an additional screen. The fact that I can do everything on one screen in your app is why I continue to refer other Firefighter-Paramedics to this application. That reason, and all reasons already listed.

The is a nice start for a needed app. I agree with previous reviews, the next versions should include ventilation tones. In the options, add the choices for a tone every 3 to 5 seconds for pediatric rescue breathing with a basic airway adjunct. There should also be an option for a tone every 5 to 6 seconds for adult rescue breathing with a basic airway adjunct and a tone every 6 to 8 seconds for rescue breathing with an advanced airway adjunct.

Another nice feature would be a button for other medications such as amiodarone, sodium bicarbonate, vasopressin, etc.

Keep working on the app. It is close to being the best app for resuscitation healthcare providers.
