## What is tidyResus?

tidyResus is a simple cardiac arrest/resus/code log and tracker. It gives you a rhythm stopwatch, event tracking, metronome, and easily accessible summary reports.

Simply tap the initial rhythm and a countdown will begin, the rhythm logged. You can record events including changes in resus state (eg. CPR, ROSC), airway interventions, access, drugs, and anything else you like. You can customise or add new events that suit your area of practice.

At any point you can view an event log, which will show the events you have recorded. An event summary can be exported to the clipboard so you can copy and paste the summary elsewhere. You can review previous incidents and their associated log.

Primarily aimed at prehospital cardiac arrests where resources can be scarce, but may help in any situation where a scribe is not immediately available.

tidyResus was developed for those trained in providing ALS. It performs no calculation nor interpretation, and offers no recommendation on assessment, treatment or management of a cardiac arrest. You are entirely responsible for ensuring accurate documentation and appropriate cardiac arrest management. tidyResus is entirely administrative. It records no information beyond the generic events.

### 5/5 — apple watch support

*2025-12-23, version 3.0*

This app is beautiful. Simple. Effective. But it can it please be available for the apple watch..
It would be so advantageous to be on the watch.

### 5/5 — The best cardiac arrest scribing tool for OHCA

*2025-06-09, version 3.0*

I was looking for an alternative app to the AHA’s FullCodePro app due to the bugs I encountered in their app. TidyResus fits the bill perfectly. Customizable, non-cluttered, and not buggy.

### 5/5 — Looks good used for training in training.

*2024-10-04, version 3.0*

Looks good easy to use and as already mentioned a stop button and maybe the ability to move the items up or down the list to ensure steps aren’t delayed. But great app so far.

### 4/5 — Great App for both new and old hands!

*2024-07-27, version 3.0*

I have been using this app for about 6 months at multiple arrests and found it incredibly useful.

It is so helpful to keep an accurate log. The interface is simple and user friendly.

My only request would be during an active resus when adding events there should be an option to free text. I know you can add them in the ‘manage events’ option but this is not available during an active arrest.

There have been a few situations where I have wanted to time stamp something usual or not routinely used but not been able to.

Other than that it’s a great app and I would recommend it to anyone running a resus.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-02-02, version 3.0*

I have used this app in OSCES and when running cardiac arrests and the app really helps me manage timings of drugs and rhythm checks. 
It is such a useful tool, couldn’t recommend it more

### 4/5 — Great little app

*2023-09-29, version 3.0*

This is a great app to record ongoing cardiac arrests. It’s not perfect but it is the best one I have found. 
It would be nice if once events are added to the list  they could be edited as guidelines change. Also a post rosc care section would be great. 
Thanks for the app

### 4/5 — Love the app but there is a small problem

*2022-10-19, version 3.0*

This app works great but there is a small problem with the resus algorithm. After clicking on shock delivered the next rhythm check should be in 2 minutes. However the 2 minute rhythm check timer does not restart. Would it be possible to correct the app?

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2021-11-26, version 3.0*

Have used TidyResus for years and at numerous resuscitations, I absolutely rate the app and find it an integral part of who I run a job. The update brings extra functionality and would like a whole range of TidyApps.

### 2/5 — Landscape mode

*2021-10-12, version 3.0*

The usability of the app is highly compromised in landscape mode as it prevents the recording of adrenaline and shocks. This can only be done in portrait mode.

Other than that it’s pretty good.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-03-01, version 3.0*

It’s a great app for running a resus, takes all the stress out of timings and honestly, you’ll be amazed how quickly 2 minutes is up.

Colleagues have downloaded this app after seeing it being used.

Latest update is great, dev obviously listens to feedback. Very good work. 

Only one question tho, PLE? We just refer to it as ROLE here.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0 — 2021-02-17

You will lose any existing archives. This update removes any third party packages and uses Apple's native solutions for storing data. This makes the app size much smaller (~20 times smaller!) even though there's plenty of new features, and eliminates the risk of third party tracking.

- New interface with much easier access to shocks, adrenaline, overall timers. Have tried to keep the core rhythm timer + rhythm check obvious, even if you don't use any of the other features.
- Audible notification and vibrate for the rhythm check timer. Still depends on your device's volume! You can disable this in settings.
- New event types and custom events. Record state changes (CPR, ROSC, PLE), airways, access, drugs, and any other events you want to add. Default events are included, but customise as you need.
- Export from tidyResus: one-click allows you to copy and paste the entire event log generated from your resus.
- Metronome now plays in silent mode. This still respects your volume setting
- Visual reminder for adrenaline: the button will change to orange when four minutes have elapsed since the last adrenaline
- Dark mode (follows your device's preferences)
- Rewritten into SwiftUI

### 2.5 — 2017-02-02

- Added drug recording. Amiodarone is present by default, but you can add or remove additional drugs from the options menu
- Added ROSC button
- Circle now correctly readjusts when iPad is rotated
- Under-the-hood updates to Swift and how events are stored, making it much easier to add additional event types/options in future updates
- Archive list now summarises some incident information, making it easier to identify incidents. 
- Log has been adjusted to make it easier to filter specific event types
- UI tweaks to facilitate above updates

### 2 — 2016-04-11

Significant update to improve reliability, incident review and general ease of use.
- Archives
-- Incidents will now be saved into an archive on your device and subsequently be viewable from the 'Options' menu, which will show you a list of previous incidents and can take you to the associated log. This is only the case for incidents created from now, and not with a previous version.
- Improved interface, with the metronome rate setting now moved to 'Options' - freeing up space to increase button and timer size.

### 1.2 — 2015-11-11

- App will now keep screen awake, preventing the screen from dimming or your phone from sleeping, so you can easily see the countdown and record without having to manually alter screen sleeping or persistently interacting with the app
-Timers will now recalculate themselves when the app has been inactive, ie. if you have hit the home button or locked your device; on resuming tidyResus the countdown and adrenaline timer will update the timers to take into account any inactive periods. 
- Added sections to the log results to separate rhythm and adrenaline events.

### 1.01 — 2015-10-22

-Fixed a bug where swiping back from the log instead of pressing "Back" would cause the stopwatch circle to disappear, though it would remain at the correct time.
