Description

Please read this entire description!

CPR Metronome was written by a paramedic for EMS personnel tosolve two common problems with CPR resuscitation by EMS providers:compressions which are too slow and ventilating the patient toofast.

To address these problems, CPR Metronome plays a sound at 110beats per minute (to coincide with the currently-recommendedguidelines for compressions) to give an audible cue to the correctcompression rate; it's pretty simple... when the app clicks,compress the chest. To solve the problem of over-bagging thepatient, a gong sounds 12 times per minute to indicate when toventilate.

Both sounds are combined into a single audio track that loopsindefinitely until the app is stopped. The best practice is to openthe app when you're enroute to a call, then as you approach thepatient, tap "Start CPR", clip the phone back on your belt, and goto work just like normal. CPR Metronome will begin a stopwatch fromthe time you begin so you know exactly how long CPR has been inprogress and will play the audible signal to keep time for you toensure an optimal compression and ventilation rate. In addition toproviding a timer for the optimal rate of compressions andventilations, having the sound playing as you're working thepatient provides an audible cue to remind you that the patient hasno blood flow when you stop compressions, and reminds you thatcompressions need to be resumed as quickly as possible.

CPR Metronome cost me a bundle to develop, but I truly believein high quality CPR, so I am giving it away for free to get it inas many providers' hands as possible. The only thing I ask is thatyou check out my other apps, OmniMedix, EasyECG, and OmniFire, andconsider purchasing one or more of them; by doing so, you can helpme offset my development costs for CPR Metronome, as well as helpme out in sort of a "crowdfunding campaign" as I currently try topay for the very expensive process of applying to and interviewingfor medical school, with the goal of some day being aparamedic-turned-EMS Medical Director.

I would also ask you to check out my webpage at http://www.omnimedicsolutions.com and visit uson Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/omnimedicsolutions formore educational tools and teachings. I'm a working street medicjust like you guys are, and all of my apps were developed fromseeing a need that hadn't been addressed yet by any other apps. Ibelieve that "we" know what we need more than someone who isn'tactually out there on the street running calls every day.

This app is not a substitute for formal CPR training, but isintended to supplement proper training, and is only intended foruse by professional healthcare providers. After you have tried theapp, please be sure to return to the app store and give us afeedback rating and comments.

Easy ECG 1.0 APK
This app is so simple that it will allowsomeone with NO cardiology training whatsoever to interpret ECGrhythms in Lead 2 with 99% accuracy.Easy ECG is a simple, user-friendly application that helps theuser interpret cardiac rhythms in Lead 2 by having the user answera series of simple questions based on the presence, absence, ormeasurement of various characteristics on a patient’s ECG printout.While all possible rhythms are not included, 40 of the most commonrhythms seen by pre-hospital providers are included, and can beidentified by answering less than 10 yes or no questions. While itis intended for case review or studying, EasyECG is written to beeasy enough to allow someone with no ECG training to interpret anECG rhythm.Other ECG apps out there were written by physicians and go intocardiologist-level detail in interpreting ECGs. EasyECG was writtenby a practicing street paramedic for EMTs, paramedics, nurses,firefighters, residents, and students of all levels to have asimple, quick, easy to use interface for interpretation. This appdoes not include sample rhythms for interpretation, as that is notits purpose; the purpose is to help the user correctly interpret anECG rhythm.DIRECTIONS: Examine the Lead 2 tracing of a patient’s ECG, andanswer questions in the app based on what is seen on the patient’sECG printout. In some cases, a sample ECG complex with thecharacteristic in question highlighted in green will appear underthe question to clarify what is being asked (not every question hasa sample image, only certain questions). All questions have an infobutton if additional clarification is needed, and the info buttonon the final rhythm determination gives a description of what isoccurring in the electrical conduction system of heart to causethat rhythm. A definitions list is accessible from the main menuthat explains the physiology behind each rhythm included andexplains what is occurring in the heart with each wave in an ECGtracing.Content created by:Cody Blount, BS, NREMT-P, FP-CSend feedback to:[email protected]
