## What is Code Blue Leader?

Leading a cardiac arrest (or “Code Blue”) requires a healthcare provider to keep track of many things such as medication doses, timing, interventions, and much more. While their brain is already overloaded, they must make life-altering decisions without any time to think. This is often a very daunting process for new and even experienced healthcare providers.

The Code Blue Leader app won’t get nervous or distracted. Code Blue Leader won’t miss a step. Follow evidence-based, real-time, and situation-specific resuscitation guidance. Let Code Blue Leader coordinate and keep track of all the critical parts of a resuscitation so you can think more clearly and more calmly.

The Code Blue Leader app acts as a real-time "walk-through" of the ACLS cardiac arrest algorithm. It provides step-by-step guidance based on the input received from the user. Therefore, in order for the app to function as intended, the user must press the appropriate button(s) at each step to ensure the correct algorithm is being followed. Pre-set timers will automatically start/reset based on which buttons are pressed. An integrated metronome maintains the quality and consistency of chest compressions.

Timing for CPR and common ACLS medications are included with visual and audible reminders to help cognitively offload these tasks. Furthermore, an automated logging function allows each step of a resuscitation to be accurately recorded. The logs can be copied to the clipboard for documentation purposes. Any medications, interventions, and doses that are prompted by the Code Blue Leader application reflect those recommended by the most up-to-date American Heart Association (AHA) ACLS guidelines.

Are you already a Code Blue expert??
Try "Experienced Provider Mode" which removes the dialogue cues and provides a more simplistic "checklist" version for each step of the algorithm. This was created for experienced ACLS healthcare providers who do not wish to follow dialogue prompts and prefer simple reminders.

### 3/5 — Great app, Needs update!

*2025-08-03*

The app is great to start, BUT, if you get Return of Spontaneous Circulation, the situation is, you have to end the code! You cannot manage a patient with severe Hypotension who you think might code soon! We just had a simulated patient scenario who we simulated to test the app! We had Ventricular Fibrillation for ten minutes, we got ROSC   Stipped CPR, had good BP, 111/64, with great End Tidal! One minute later, the BP Tanked, so we started giving push dose Epinephrine, and started An Epinephrine Infusion! We could not document that with the app! After ten minutes of this, we had PEA and started the code again!  We coded the patient again for five minutes with a pulse check revealing Sinus Tachy! We had a pulse for a few more minutes, and gave Push Dose Epinephrine again! A code was called again with Ventricular Fibrillation for ten! We ran the code again for 35 more minutes until We were in ASYSTOLE, and then we called the code. This app needs more work! I love it though!

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2025-03-27*

Ce serait super s’il pouvait en inventer une pour le code pédiatrique en fonction du poids/broselow

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour ! Un algorithme pédiatrique est en cours de développement et sera bientôt disponible.
