Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Cardiology
  • Computer Simulation

Background:

  • Traditional computer programs for cardiac arrest resuscitation training have limitations.
  • There is a need for advanced simulation tools to master cardiac emergency recognition and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Code Red!, an interactive educational software for simulating cardiac emergencies.
  • To highlight the software's capability in training healthcare professionals to recognize and treat cardiac abnormalities.

Main Methods:

  • The software simulates various cardiac emergency scenarios, including ventricular fibrillation, bradycardia, and asystole.
  • It provides an interactive learning environment for users to practice skills.
  • The simulation runs on a 386/486 PC within the Windows 3.0 graphical environment.
