Pros and cons of Fast Facts for Trauma Care app for iPhone and iPad

Fast Facts for Trauma Care app good for

This application has been used extensively, by our team, for several months now. We feel, we feel collectively and confidently, that every member of the Code Trauma Team should have this resource in the palm of their hand when attending a "code". The application provides a tremendous amount of data in a clear and concise manner. The data is layed out in a manner that lends itself to use in critical situations, it follows a natural progression through the code going "step-by-step" as care is provided. The application is also quite handy for general emergency room work as well "codes". We feel,collectively, that every ER physician, especially ones who respond to codes, should have this "five star" application at thier disposal!
Finally here!! This is the ONE reference I was missing since my switch to iphone....I look forward to the rest of the Fast Facts info to be released. This is the info I use most in the ICU. I love this easy to use format and have had no problems with it.....THANK YOU!!!
I have had the Kathy White system in paper format then Palm and now on my iPhone. It is a well written resource and review.
Ive been using Kathy White paper edition for years. This is a good implimentation of the information. When you enlarge of shrink the screen, it retains formating and is easy to read. Their programer is working on getting the pics to be able to enlarge also. If your a Critical Care nurse, definitly look at this program. Like al programs though, the more experieced you are the less youll use it. I use it and similar program when precepting and teaching.
I have used this since I graduated from RN school years ago (in paper format). I recommend it to my peers both new and not so new!
The author again has created a comprehensive-intuitive Trauma reference for Critical Care nurses. I liked V1. V2 has an improved interface and better graphics. If you work with trauma patients I highly recommend this App.

Some bad moments

I really hoped this app would be better... but for the small amt of info it is not worth ten bucks...I wish there was more info available. I had expected more.
Too light on content to be worth the nine dollars. Tells you only the very basics for patho and little else. Entry level facts.
