Code Blue Log
Read full descriptionHide full description
Primarily intended to be used as a high-tech note-taking tool during emergency resusctiations, transports, and responses, with build-in stopwatches to assist with timekeeping and a dynamic event log to assist with recording tasks. Similar to the functionality built into the Lifepak and Zoll defibrillators, the Code Blue Log builds on this functionality by adding more stopwatches for BLS & ACLS events that require accurate timing, and an extensive but easily-navigable library of drugs, events, cardiac rhythms, and procedures that can be annoted to the on the event log quickly and easily.
