It’s fun, but hardly accurate – Full Code - Emergency Medicine Review

I’ve only played one scenario so far and noticed quite a few errors in the desired treatments. The case is “#22 Found Down” and is a CPR turned MI. The patient is unconscious and unresponsive yet to get a 100% rating on interventions one must give them Aspirin. That drug is administered oral only and is absolutely contraindicated on an unconscious patient who cannot chew and swallow it. Also it rates chest x-ray as not a recommended procedure. Any patient who is intubated must have a chest X-ray to confirm tube placement. No exceptions. Also I disagree with the Heparin Drip for a patient about to go in for a surgical procedure. Granted it may be necessary, but anything affecting PT, PTT and/or INR in the presence of any surgical procedure should only be ordered by the physician performing the procedure. Unless the Cardiology consult comes back with “start Heparin prior to sending to cath lab” it shouldn’t be done in the ER. Otherwise this is a very fun app and so far I’ve enjoyed it.
