CodeScribe EMS is a one-tap scribe for cardiac arrest resuscitations. Start the clock as compressions begin, then log every intervention as it happens — rhythm checks, defibrillations, epinephrine, airway, IV/IO access, EtCO₂, ROSC — each stamped to the second. Built for EMS and prehospital teams: • One-tap logging with editable entries — fix times and doses after the code, not during • Adult and pediatric — enter an estimated weight and logged defaults become weight-based • Passive by design — glanceable cycle timers for the 2-minute rhythm check and your epi interval, but no alarms and no prompts • Chart-ready narrative — copy a chronological account straight into your ePCR • PDF timeline export for handoff or QA • Utstein-style details — witnessed, bystander CPR, downtime, first rhythm • Private by design — everything stays on your device; no accounts, no uploads, and no patient identifiers CodeScribe EMS is a documentation aid for trained responders. It does not provide medical advice, dosing recommendations, or treatment prompts. Always follow your local protocols and medical direction.
