iArrest

The app is simple in its layout and in an environment where there is stress and often loss of situational awareness this simple format is a vital tool in recording essential events and key information that will ultimately go on to help guide a patients care but also provide more accurate data to allow development and research on improving the care that is delivered during cardiac arrests. Highly recommended and credit to the developer for creating such a simple yet essential app

It a perfect guide to assist you with running an arrest. In hospitals they tend to have a person timing. Prehospital there just isn’t enough people to do that one role (most of the time) This app does that role for you, alarming for your rhythm checks, and reminding when your drugs are due. I’ve used it several times in anger, and after showing it to my colleagues, most of them now use it.

This is an excellent application which enables any member of the resuscitation team to log the key times and decisions made during a stressful cardiac arrest. It’s simple to use interface and clear labelling ensures that it is incredibly easy to use and user friendly. I have used it at actual cardiac arrests and as a teaching exercise during ALS and ILS Courses. Would strongly recommend it!

Have used this in multiple arrests and introduced it to colleagues both junior and senior who feel it improves their confidence and calmness during acute scenarios. The added function to email the log and print it is very clever as well and keeps notes much more accurate than they would be otherwise.

Have used this myself in 2 separate complex arrests and seen it used by others. The log of activity is it's most powerful feature and allows the recorder to accurately record an event timeline and is a helpful reminder of when to give drugs or perform other interventions.
