Preliminary trials using the algorithm presented in CARMA has resulted in an 80% increase in patient survival of a CPR event.
CARMA has four independent countdown timers, swipe-able Ventricular Tachycardia & Ventricular Fibrillation and Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) reference pages. There is a complete list of select-able Diagnostic Tips (H's and T's) and recommended medication and non-medication treatment solutions. CARMA is an invaluable, portable tool for healthcare professionals in the resuscitation of patients experiencing cardiopulmonary arrest.
CARMA includes an audible CPR metronome which defaults to 100 beats/minute, and timers for Epinephrine, Amniodarone and code duration. The duration timer prompts the leader to reevaluate every 30 minutes. Each timer has a unique vibrate feature when it completes its cycle. All of CARMA's timer durations, rates and audible features are configurable through CARMA's preferences menu.
CARMA also features a logging process that automatically tracks all activities within a session. They include timer starts and stops, H's and T's selections, rhythm, medication and non-drug intervention selections. Each event is time stamped for easy review. In addition, the session log can be easily emailed for archiving purposes. In conformance with HIPAA requirements, no patient information is stored in the log and the log does not reside in the physical space of the mobile device. Once the application exits or is reset, the log is deleted.
CARMA is an ACLS tool which gives healthcare providers the ability to better manage cardio-pulmonary events. It guides the provider through ACLS protocols in real time at the bedside utilizing the 2014 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines, leading to better outcomes.

Practical, Easy to use CPR app
CoolDoc74
Allows you to figure out why the patient is in cardiac arrest without worrying about timing of key meds and CPR. The tips on the h and t page made finding the problem quicker. Very sleek and intuitive, easy to use layout. Allows caregivers to worry about other things while the app keeps track of important times.
Good Carma

I can't count the number of times I've complained about having to keep handwritten notes while trying to help someone in cardiac arrest. This application simplifies things A LOT. It's laid out in logical order and makes it very simple to keep track of times, medications, etc. simply by tapping the buttons on screen. The PDF email functionality is also fantastic. Take care of the patient first and print out the code history/timeline when you're done. Smart use of the smart phone!

Amazing program! Very intuitive and easy to use. Will increase documentation accuracy during code events and ensure MD's are following ACLS protocols. Also increases chances of ROSC:)
Excellent App

This app is very user friendly and easy to navigate. The layout of the screens are very easy to read and the time stamps for med pushes and procedures is very helpful. The coverage of the H's and T's is very cool. I highly recommend this app to all healthcare providers. Matt H, Paramedic

Not updated

I bought this app because it was the only one that was easy to use and still effective during high tension codes. But ever since I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 9 the countdown timers get cut off. It looks like other users are having the same problem. I hope the developers are reading the reviews and are working on a fix. Would be terrible for a good app to go to waste. Until it gets fixed, two stars seems fair.
Great App!

Awesome App for ACLS. Follows AHA guidelines with easy to remember mnemonics. Has a timers for epi, compressions, and code length. Also has adjustable metronome for timing compressions. Offers H&Ts reminders as well as suggested interventions. I use it as a tool for teaching all my ACLS students!
