United StatesCPR Tempo provides audio and visual cues to aid the timing of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Timers are also provided for rhythm checks after defibrillator shocking and for epinephrine administration. The American Heart Association recommends a rate of 100 compressions per minute during CPR. This is difficult to maintain without audio cues, especially as the rescuer tires. ER nurse and Army Reservist MAJ Don Kyle shared with Frozen Ape about our metronome app Tempo is being used for this purpose. We have since worked with Don to create a specialised app, including the following bonus features: - Timer with visual and audio cues for rhythm checks - Timer with visual and audio cues for Epinephrine administration - Log of each resuscitation event detailing each action taken and location of event (location services required) - Configurable CPM (compressions per minute) from 100 to 120 - Configurable epinephrine interval from 3 to 5 minutes Disclaimer: This app follows standards recommended by the American Heart Association. Do not use this app if these standards do not align with your medical practice. Please familiarize yourself with this app, including the tutorial, and verify the settings before using the app in an actual resuscitation event. Frozen Ape Pte. Ltd. is not liable for mishaps due to the misuse of, or malfunctioning of the app.
Great App, would like more features
I love this app when I am the recorder during a code! My only dislike is I wish it kept track of how long each person was actively doing compressions. Without a doubt, three-plus minutes in, the first one on the chest is exhausted wondering how long it’s been.
United StatesLooks handy
FirefighterEMT here. Had envisioned an app like this but have no clue how to make. I downloaded to play with and can see as someone who acts as “code commander” the usefulness of this. Reason is that times have to be kept track of during codes and for hospital staff to have . This is hard during the chaos of a code, writing multiple times and notes on a gloved hand is all you got and not easy. Having the iPhone in my hand and simply pushing the button that time stamps when epi was given, when 2 minutes had elapsed so rescuers can switch etc makes life so much easier and better for hospital staff. I’m trying to get the word out about this app. I will recommend changes to it to make it better. Thanks
United StatesSome folks would like additional features but I like the simplicity.
Additional features can create other issues and complexity. During a resuscitation, the focus must remain on the patient, not the app.
United Statesoverall it is a very helpful app
we have used this app on actual code blue situations. ive been a recorder multiple times and i work at cardiac floor, this helps us keep track of next due pulse checks and epis. the only problem i have is once u press that button esp by mistake, u cant refresh it.
United StatesWatch iOS
Great app. Works well. Please add the watch app. I could start the watch counting quickly when starting CPR.
United StatesDoesn’t work - no sound at all
Deleted this app. Doesn’t work.
United StatesUseful!
Great just for keeping tempo, but doesn’t actually keep count of your cycles or tell you when to do breaths. It would be excellent if that feature could be added. One of the most difficult parts of CPR is keeping count and not losing track! Still, for a free app, this is great - a great help to anyone who finds him/herself in need to perform CPR.
