Have a Heart

Everything cardiac on Bearamedics, in one place. Read strips, run a live monitor, and work the call from first look to ROSC. Free, and built on the SLO County EMS protocols.

The protocol always wins. These are training tools, not treatment protocols. Confirm everything against the current SLO County EMS Agency protocols and follow medical direction. The cases and the monitor are in beta: if something looks wrong, tell us.

Cardiac Cases

Run a call on a live monitor. Read the rhythm, call stable or unstable, and pick the treatment, and the patient responds to every choice. Sixteen adult and pediatric cases: SVT, VT, torsades, A-fib, bradycardia and pacing, and cardiac arrest.

Probie explains as you go. Medic plays it out and debriefs at the end.

Bearamedics Monitor

The preceptor runs the rhythm, vitals, shocks, and pacing from one phone. The intern types a 4-letter room code on a second screen and reads the monitor. No partner handy? Practice solo with random strips.
