Full Code Pro is a purpose built cardiac arrest intervention recorder for EMS professionals.

From the developer, Wuff, site:

“Full Code Pro includes a user customizable list of the most common cardiac arrest drugs including pressors, antiarrhythmic, parasympathetic blockers, and a host of other medications.

Where Full Code is designed for simplicity, Full Code Pro is setup to allow for more information to be recorded by EMS professionals.

Full Code Pro retains the same functionality as Full Code and lists each intervention as a color coded button so that EMS personnel can simply and easily instruct even a an untrained bystander what to do by calling out the color corresponding to the treatment. With an editable drug list, users can incorporate their system protocols into the medication list.

With Full Code Pro, the paramedics, EMT-Bs, nurses and EMS personnel can focus on patient care, critical interventions and achieving positive outcomes without sacrificing proper documentation. The reports generated by a cardiac arrest are among the most closely scrutinized in the business.

Cardiac arrests are some of the most dynamic, high intensity situations that EMS professionals face and require a great deal of training and knowledge to manage. In these scenarios, a large number of tasks need to be performed and documented by a limited number of people. Documenting the treatments while they happen is critical to making sure that each and every intervention is properly noted. During a cardiac arrest, there isn’t time to write long notes, spend time hunting through menu after menu of routine treatment options or ask a bystander to learn on the fly.

Full Code Pro for the iPhone/iTouch allows EMS personnel to effectively record the critical EMS interventions during a cardiac arrest. With Full Code Pro every critical intervention from CPR, defibrillation or securing an airway to venous access, drug administration and patient packaging, is immediately documented in an instantly accessible and easy-to-use log.

Full Code Pro includes a visual & auditory 2 minute update alarm, helping to reduce the “tunnel vision” effect the high intensity work load of a full code sometimes creates and the corresponding delay in switching positions at the recommended 2 minute interval. Research shows that the quality of CPR compression goes down at 1 minute and after 2 minutes the CPR is becoming ineffective. The 2 minute warning reminds EMS personnel when it’s time to rotate positions so that high quality CPR compressions, the most important factor in positive outcomes for patients, are maintained with minimal interruption.

Created by Paramedics in one of the nation’s most aggressive EMS systems, Full Code Pro is designed to allow EMS personnel to focus on patient care without compromising proper documentation.”
