Code Blue Leader vs Code Blue Flow

Leading a cardiac arrest (or “Code Blue”) requires a healthcare provider to keep track of many things such as medication doses, timing, interventions, and much more. While their brain is already overloaded, they must make life-altering decisions without any time to think. This is often a very daunting process for new and even experienced healthcare providers. The Code Blue Leader app won’t get nervous or distracted. Code Blue Leader won’t miss a step. Follow evidence-based, real-time, and situation-specific resuscitation guidance. Let Code Blue Leader coordinate and keep track of all the critical parts of a resuscitation so you can think more clearly and more calmly. The Code Blue Leader app acts as a real-time "walk-through" of the ACLS cardiac arrest algorithm. It provides step-by-step guidance based on the input received from the user. Therefore, in order for the app to function as intended, the user must press the appropriate button(s) at each step to ensure the correct algorithm is being followed. Pre-set timers will automatically start/reset based on which buttons are pressed. An integrated metronome maintains the quality and consistency of chest compressions. Timing for CPR and common ACLS medications are included with visual and audible reminders to help cognitively offload these tasks. Furthermore, an automated logging function allows each step of a resuscitation to be accurately recorded. The logs can be copied to the clipboard for documentation purposes. Any medications, interventions, and doses that are prompted by the Code Blue Leader application reflect those recommended by the most up-to-date American Heart Association (AHA) ACLS guidelines. Are you already a Code Blue expert?? Try "Experienced Provider Mode" which removes the dialogue cues and provides a more simplistic "checklist" version for each step of the algorithm. This was created for experienced ACLS healthcare providers who do not wish to follow dialogue prompts and prefer simple reminders.

- APP FEATURES - • CPR CYCLE CLOCK Tracks 2-minute compression cycles from the moment CPR begins. The cycle counter is always visible. Pause with a single tap when a shock is delivered, then resume a fresh 2-minute block; the cycle number carries forward correctly so the team always knows which round they're on. • CUSTOM DOSE TEMPLATES Independent per-drug timers with editable intervals and dose caps. Default templates for Epinephrine (q3 min, max 3 doses), Amiodarone, and Vasopressin ship pre-configured. Add your own templates for any med your protocol uses - name, color, interval, and max-dose cap are all configurable. Near-due and maxed-out states are color-coded. • SHOCK + PAUSE A dedicated yellow Shock button logs each defibrillation event and automatically pauses the CPR clock. Pause / Resume is also available manually whenever the team needs to stop or restart compressions. • ADD EVENT One-tap logging for rhythm observations (VF, pVT, Asystole, PEA), airway events (Intubation, LMA), fingerstick glucose, and free-text "Other" entries. Every event lands on the timeline with a timestamp. • HANDOFF SUMMARY When the code ends, a single screen presents the outcome (ROSC, Ceased, or Transferred with destination), the patient's initial rhythm, the medication list, the full chronological timeline, and free-text handoff notes. • EXPORTER - SHAREABLE PDF AND TEXT Copy a clean text summary to the clipboard for charting, or share a professionally-formatted PDF handoff through your phone's share sheet (email, AirDrop, Messages, Files). The PDF includes a stats grid, a color-coded chronological timeline, a medications table, the patient's initial rhythm, the outcome, and a signed timestamp. • HISTORY Every finalized code is preserved on the device for future review. Open any past code to re-read the timeline, re-export the handoff, or update its location label. - PRIVACY - Code Blue Flow runs entirely on your device. It collects no personal data, has no analytics or tracking, and makes no network connections. Session records are stored only in local storage on your phone and are never transmitted. Handoff summaries leave the device only through your phone's own share sheet, and only when you choose to export them. This app is a timer and note-taking tool. It is not a medical device and is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical decision support. - IMPORTANT - Code Blue Flow is **a timer and a note-taking tool**, nothing more. It runs no protocols, makes no recommendations, and gives no clinical advice. It is not a medical device. Every elapsed time, dose count, and event entry shown in the app comes from what the user enters - the app does not infer, suggest, calculate, or guide. Use it at your own discretion as a supplement to (not a replacement for) your facility's protocols, your team's clinical judgement, the patient's official chart, and current AHA / ACLS guidelines. The team caring for the patient at the bedside remains the sole source of truth. The author assumes no liability for outcomes arising from use of this app. If something on screen is wrong, the team caring for the patient is authoritative - not the app.
