The American Heart Association’s Full Code Pro (FCP 3.4) is a free, easy-to-use, mobile app that allows you to quickly document critical interventions during cardiac arrest resuscitation events. This app lets you focus on the patient without sacrificing proper documentation. FCP 3.4 includes a user controlled metronome with an adjustable rate between 100 and 120 bpm. Now you can use FCP to check your CPR rate performance. Using this real-time app to log your actions, you can improve the availability and accuracy of documentation of a resuscitation event.

It also includes lists of common events and rhythms. It is highly recommended that you back up all of your log files in your database and remove older versions of FCP before installing this new version.
