### 1/5 — Needs an update BIG TIME!

*2022-08-08, version 2.0*

This app is in need of improve NAsotracheal   It needs an Asystole in the list of rhythms. It needs more drugs in the drug list. When the patient expires, and resuscitation was unsuccessful the patient dies, and needs a way to specify that, instead of just stopping the code. The options for intubation, IV Access, monitor, capnography, etc are ok, but we put in two IVs in our last code and there was no way to document that. We had Asystole the whole code, and we had to specify it as PEA there was no Asystole to select. The patient obviously died, but there was so much stuff we did, that wasn’t an option in the app   This app if improved will get a better rating, but I can’t use this app in a code.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app!

*2021-03-16, version 2.0*

Thanks for creating this great app! 
Incredibly helpful for students and seasoned practitioners!
