CARMA For Life App Reviews

This app was so helpful and decreased the stress during a code. A must have for everyone!

The IOS 9 visibility issues have been fixed. This app continues to help us save lives. Great job.

Awesome App for ACLS. Follows AHA guidelines with easy to remember mnemonics. Has a timers for epi, compressions, and code length. Also has adjustable metronome for timing compressions. Offers H&Ts reminders as well as suggested interventions. I use it as a tool for teaching all my ACLS students!

Great for codes

Who knew that someone could take such a complex process and make it simple and easy for people especially in the heat of the moment. The numbers show that survival of the event have increased dramatically and that blows my mind!

This app is perfect for running a code. It allowed me to concentrate on finding the cause of the arrest and not worry about when to give important medications . It also ensured that the patient got his full two minutes of cpr each cycle. The metronome ensured right rate and the metronome is now recommended with Get With the Guidelines. One thing we do not do in a code is get a finger stick blood sugar but it was a tip in the h and t section. Wouldn't you know the patients sugar was 22?! Thanks C

As a critical care and rapid response nurse, I use this app frequently. It helps to provide timing for medications, compressions and therapies. During a stressful situation, it helps to keep everyone on track and improve patient outcomes.

Makes the whole acls algorithm easy to remember when you are in a code situation which makes remembering anything tough. Great for students and medical professionals. Cheaper than similar products i have seen on the app store (although i haven't used any of the others so i can't rate them). This has timers, meds to give, and actions to take. Really useful.

Just started my career as a resident. It really helps with following the ACLS algorithm. Must have app for all residents!!!!

This is the first time I am writing a review for an app. I am a Medicine Resident and till now had trouble with managing CPR, rhythm check and Epi time. But I used this app during my last code, I felt very organized and it was easy to manage CPR and rhythm check times. My problem with the app is, the email option doesn’t work. Also, when I choose new session in VT/VE, it doesn’t reset the shock count to zero.

Need a wider time range for amiodarone. ACLS guidelines say you can give it every 4 minutes, yet the lowest you can set the amiodarone timer is 5 minutes. Also, need to be able to record the rhythms form the VT/VF and PEA tabs. Switching pages in a code is more tedious than it seems. EM MD

Im an ER nurse . Wish this app had a few things .. like a drop down button/ red flag/ count down under cpr for “rhythm check”

This is a Godsend. When you’re running codes it helps everyone immeasurably to have an aid like this. Make sure to take advantage of the app recording all the interventions you do. It makes documentation MUCH easier.

Needs to be updated for latest version of iOS

I bought this app because it was the only one that was easy to use and still effective during high tension codes. But ever since I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 9 the countdown timers get cut off. It looks like other users are having the same problem. I hope the developers are reading the reviews and are working on a fix. Would be terrible for a good app to go to waste. Until it gets fixed, two stars seems fair.
