HealthGuide (TM) Software presents
ERCode!: Emergency Room Simulation (v. 1.1)
---------------------------------------------
ERCode! presents you with a person suffering from a cardiac or respiratory crisis. At all times you see a rhythm strip, pulse, blood pressure, respirations per minute, elapsed time, and the last few actions you've taken. You choose from various options including defibrillation (electrical shocks), CPR, fluids, airway management, and medications. The defibrillator is fully functional and includes movable paddles, various voltages, and the ability to provide synchronized shocks. The software provides a complete history of past interventions for your review. Your experience will be slightly different each time. 

The unregistered (Limited) version of ERCode! is free and includes two possible simulations, a complete cardiac arrest and someone with vomit aspiration.  It may be freely distributed. The Full Version of the software is available to registered users ($25 + $5 shipping) and has access to all of the simulations. In the Full version a wide variety of cardiac and respiratory emergencies are demonstrated. If  you want to distribute this software, you must make sure it is in its unregistered state - click the register button on the first page to remove registration information.
