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.
