PALS Fast vs MockCode

PALS Fast is a highly efficient engine to get you the correct treatment during Pediatric Advanced Life Support, fast! Rather than comb through pages of algorithms you just click one or two buttons to guide you to the correct page. Each page contains the bare essentials *current* for 2017. Fast! The tab controller gives one access to the major topics covered in the PALS manual. These topics include the PALS systemic approach to the seriously ill child, age-appropriate vitals, the pediatric arrest algorithm, CPR summary, shock management and diagnosis, a Glascow calculator, the bradycardia and tachycardia algorithm, and the post-resuscitation algorithm. A comprehensive drug calculator has all the drugs listed in the PALS manual. Select the drug and patient weight and you get the correct dosing. There is also a code timer that alarms every two minutes to remind you to recheck vitals or give medications. This is a great study guide for the PALS exam. The topics are simplified to the essentials. Moreover, one can use this app during a pediatric code. This is because it does not just hash out information like a book: the app is interactive and will give out information based on your responses for the situation. Never before has this topic been easier to handle. Use the app for the PICU, ER, ICU or the floor; or, use the app as a study tool when you are nearing recertification. Either way, you will not be disappointed.

MockCode is a professional CPR simulation facilitation tool designed for ICU educators, simulation coordinators, and resuscitation training teams. Built around published resuscitation guidelines, MockCode captures real-time CPR quality metrics during mock code exercises and delivers a comprehensive clinical scorecard for structured debriefs. DESIGNED FOR THE SIMULATION ROOM MockCode puts the facilitator in control. One thumb on the compression button, one eye on the team. The interface is engineered for clinical environments — static layout, thumb-optimized button placement, and zero cognitive load during live scenarios. REAL-TIME CPR QUALITY METRICS • Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) — live with colour-coded targets • Compression rate — 15-second rolling window • Total pause time and CPR active time • Timeline visualisation of compressions vs pauses CLINICAL EVENT LOGGING — ONE TAP EACH • Leader Assignment and CPR Coach role • Shock / Defibrillation with automatic pre-shock pause calculation • Epinephrine with 3-5 minute interval alerts • Pulse and Rhythm checks with cycle interval tracking • Compressor switch with 2-minute rotation reminders • H&T (reversible causes) tracking • Amiodarone / Lidocaine logging GUIDELINE-ALIGNED CLINICAL SCORECARD MockCode analyses every session against published resuscitation guidelines and generates a structured scorecard with Critical, Caution, and Met flags for VF/pVT and PEA/Asystole scenarios. POST-ROSC CARE CHECKLIST When ROSC is achieved, MockCode transitions to a comprehensive post-arrest care checklist — each item timestamped when completed. COMPLETE SESSION REPORT Export a full session report including the clinical scorecard, all metrics, event timeline, shock analysis, and post-arrest checklist. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE No internet required. No external databases. No servers. Everything runs on your device. PRIVACY FIRST MockCode collects no personal data, transmits nothing externally, and stores only anonymous session summaries locally on your device. DISCLAIMER MockCode is a simulation facilitation tool for educational purposes only. It is not a medical device. All clinical decisions remain the sole responsibility of the qualified facilitator. Not for use with real patients.
