Best App

Over the years I've been through a lot of medical apps. I've now had this app for years, and it is my go to app. Over the past almost 3 decades I've been an ICU and ER nurse, currently full time flight nurse/medic for the past 13 yrs. I have gifted and recommend this app many times. Cannot recommend this app enough.

Outstanding

I just got this. I wish I had access to this when I was working, retired RN( active license) still like many, love to keep current. Having done so much in a long career ( like my wife) I was a Nurse before men were in the field. This has pharmacy information ( was at UConn in pharmacy school) before I dropped my 1-A, with a low draft number. Medic, changed after to Nursing with my wife. This has a wealth of information. OB-GYN( first male RN) early, decelerations) Point is I’ve never seen so much in one spot except PDR, or Taber’s.

International fixed wing medevac and Critical

Easily and hands gown the best app to have at hand. I use this app on every trip whether to calculate O2 cylinder times or to pre calculate RSI doses in the event they may be needed. There is a lot to be said for removing cognitive load on the provider, specifically in emergency situations. The fact that the app is not dependent upon WiFi availability makes it my first go to for a ton of out of hospital uses

Great app for flights clinicians/critical care

This app is excellent!! I use it as a flight nurse and it gives me everything I need as a quick reference. I love the clinical calculators and pediatric reference as well. The design is easy to use, aesthetically pleasing, and works without Wi-Fi.

LOVE IT!

I’ve been using the app forever and it gets better all the time. I recommend it to everyone and wish it was shown to me many years ago! Started using it the heaviest when I first started working as a flight paramedic. Saved my bacon more than once.

Single elements of Critical are done better than apps that revolve around just 1 of the dozens of things it can be used for.

Keep making it great! Thanks for all you do.

Best emergency medicine app on the market

I’ve had this app for years and use it often. From when I was flying, to my ER and ICU time and now in the cath lab. It’s a straight forward reference that has the info you want and quickly accessible without having to search through the app to find it. Visually it is easy to read and pick out what you need. Absolutely perfect app for emergency and ICU reference. It’s so smooth you can pull it up quickly in real time to if you just want to verify what you’re working on. Thank you so much for making this app and making it the way it should be. Keep up the amazing work.

Perfect

In an emergency situation, you can go straight to your favorite meds saved, insert weight in kilograms and calculate the rate needed, especially if you’re working with older pumps.. Thanks.

O2 calculator

I am a flight nurse and I use this app every shift. It is such a valuable tool! Recently, we were doing some o2 calculations and I hadn’t tried using the apps calculator for this and wanted to try it out. I noticed that under the tank size, our helicopter tank (bell 206 with conversion factor of 1.48) was not one of the choices. Anyway this could be added? Thanks so much for such an awesome app!

Hi ! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your positive feedback about the app. We are so glad to hear that it has been a valuable tool for you as a flight nurse. We appreciate your suggestion to add the option for a Bell 206 helicopter tank size with a conversion factor of 1.48 to the O2 calculator. Our goal is to ensure that the app is as useful as possible for healthcare professionals like yourself. So what we did with the conversion factor is editable so that you could customize it specifically to your institutional needs. Thank you again for your feedback and for using the app. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further suggestions or feedback, and we'll be happy to help you out.

Error in medication math

Over all, great app! If you’re in the EMS business, download this app. It’s great! I ran across a bug, brought it to their attention, and it was fix immediately.

Crashes

Love the app. It’s been extremely useful as a flight nurse. However this shift every time I open it it crashes and closes. I can’t contact the developers through their website. I can’t get support through apple to help with this. So I’m writing this review in hopes that it will reach someone who can help me.

Update: they fixed the app, no issues now.
