User guide

How a session runs.

One instructor drives the patient from a phone. The learners work a monitor-defibrillator that behaves like the real thing — and you decide what their actions achieve.

Everything it can do

Rhythms

Sinus, AF, atrial flutter, SVT
Each with its characteristic rate; the HR control drives them directly.
1° / Mobitz I / Mobitz II / 3° block
Wenckebach lengthens the PR then drops a beat; complete block runs independent atrial and escape rhythms.
VT, VF, torsades, asystole
Selecting a rhythm snaps the rate instantly — a rhythm change is a sudden electrical event, not a ramp.
PEA
A flag on any organised rhythm: the ECG carries on, the pulse does not.

Vitals & transitions

HR, SpO₂, BP, RR, EtCO₂, temp, ST
Press-and-hold steppers: a tap is fine, holding accelerates.
ST elevation / depression
A real J-point-to-T plateau, so you can evolve a STEMI over minutes.
Change speed
Instant, smooth, or slow — how fast a change reaches the monitors.
Scenarios
Healthy, sepsis, hypoxia, STEMI, peri-arrest, VF, asystole — the whole patient in one tap.

Airway & signals

Breathing pattern
Cheyne-Stokes, Kussmaul, Biot, agonal, apnoea — rate and depth over time.
Capnogram shape
Bronchospasm shark-fin, rebreathing, curare cleft, oesophageal.
SpO₂ signal quality
Good, poor (motion artefact, unstable reading), or probe searching.
NIBP
A realistic cuff cycle the learner triggers — or continuous, so the number never goes stale.

Sensors & alarms

Leads / probe / capno line
Detach any of them: that trace flatlines and its numbers show dashes.
Technical alarms
A disconnected sensor is an equipment fault — a quiet, low-priority tone, never the patient alarm.
Patient alarms
High and medium priority, with flashing numerics and the limits on display.
Silence
Two-minute silence with a countdown, and a second tap resumes.

Defib & pacer (learner-operated)

Manual defib
Energy select → charge (with the rising tone) → shock. The waveforms keep running behind the panel.
Synchronised cardioversion
SYNC marks every sensed QRS and the shock lands on the R wave, never near the T.
Transcutaneous pacing
Rate and output in mA; at or above your threshold it captures — spikes, paced complexes, a real pulse.
Your rules
Preset what a shock does and what capture costs. Change it between shocks to script the arrest.

Joining & teaching together

QR code
Learners point a camera at the controller and they are on. No typing, no install.
Two instructors
A second instructor scans the separate instructor QR to take the controls too — both consoles stay in step. Learners hold the monitor code and can never take control with it.
Orphaned sessions
If the instructor's phone dies, another device can adopt the running session so the monitors never go dark.
Reconnects
Close the controller by accident and it rejoins the same session; monitors reconnect on their own.

Running it anywhere

Any browser
Phone, tablet, laptop, ward TV. Safari included — it is tested on WebKit every build.
Offline / locked-down Wi-Fi
Run one binary on a laptop and everything works on the local network with no internet at all.
Free
No account, no subscription, no per-seat licence.
