Full Code Medical Simulation Reviews

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.

A little pricey subscription but it’s worth it to just give it at least a try. The cases are good too and there’s a lot to learn. I wish it were possible to re-examine pt or to see a vital trends after notable interventions. The few times it allows you to re-examine this is after intubation to reassess lung sounds and also it allows to rerunning labs. The patient doesn’t also decompensate over time. If time could be a factor that you can switch on or off in FullCodeMedicalSimulation that would be impressive as this is an emergency medicine app. Worth the money I think and very time consuming. Too easy to get drawn in to the whole case.

I’m a paramedic, I think it’s pretty cool to review pathologies and what not. Obviously, follow local protocol, and I genuinely don’t know if everything in FullCodeMedicalSimulation is totally trust worthy. I have no reason or research to sway my opinion one way or the other. It’s just good in my opinion to “see” these pathologies and run through my treatments that I would do in my head.

I don’t typically review apps, but here you go.
I’ve been in EMS about 5 years. In Paramedic school right now. Not a Dr by any means, but not green either. :)
If you are in med school, or a nursing program, this is awesome! It focuses pretty much entirely on the hospital portion, no pre-hospital.
It’s frustrating for me because I score really well on assessments, history taking, and stabilization (a medic’s job) but score poorly on more advanced hospital care. It’s a good app. But I would not advise for the prehospital worker.

I’m giving a 4 star review because I feel it should have been better communicated that this is all ER care, no prehospital. But it is educational!

I love this game! I 16 and I already know what I want to be when I grow up. I’ve known since I was in 3rd grade and that is a pediatric nurse. This game teaches everything. Everything is realistic. My one wish is that there was more free cases because I have finished all the free cases and I really don’t want to spend money on a game. And in real life you don’t spend more money to get more patient cases. I also think that this game should have to level up like being a resident, then a fellowship and stuff like that.

I’m an EMT and a paramedic student and FullCodeMedicalSimulation is amazing! I wish I would’ve known about it sooner. The cases are great and i have learned soo many new things that can now help me in the field. I wish they weren’t so many typos and stuff though I think it should get reviewed again... many cases with errors. But aside from that the concept it great and definitely worth it.

I have always loved playing this game. However lately (since the last update) it won’t always load. I can get it to load o car do one case and then it freezes and keeps saying loading and won’t do anything and if I close out and go back in it won’t load at all. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but it didn’t fix my problem. Aside from that this is a great game.

I am a pre Med student and this game has helped me significantly learn different diagnoses and get an idea on the process of examining, diagnosing, and treating a patient. I especially love that it includes pediatrics many games do not include pediatrics and the challenges that come along with kids. The only thing that I wish this game had was more adolescent cases like 11-17 age range with more serious events like cardiac arrest and sepsis. The game seems to jump from 7 years old to 18 but overall I really love this game and recommend it to anyone interested in medicine.

I have used it from past 1 week. Very good application to simulate emergency cases. A lot to learn from it. Common cases that present in emergency. One thing is time factor could have been included and patient deteriorating due to untimely intervention could have been added. Overall superb application worth the subscription.

I absolutely love FullCodeMedicalSimulation! It’s easy to use and up-to date with new medical treatments and problems. The animations are modern and real looking. All around the developers really nailed it. I just wish they would update it and add more cases more often. Especially Pediatric cases. I just keep going over and over the same cases and no new ones are being added :( . If they just updated it more often, FullCodeMedicalSimulation would be superb!
Thanks for making such an intuitive and well thought out app!

This game is awesome and fun. I learn something new about diagnosis on every case. I especially liked the ARDs and VAPI case, because vape induced lung injury is something we’ll be seeing more of in EMS, ER, and ICU. It’s highly relevant. It’s the perfect game to pass the time, because while most games are unproductive, this game refines clinical thinking and skills.

I first got this game for nursing school. I paid just the basic edition but plan to get other plans once I finish basic and increase level of knowledge. This game helps me to use my problem solving skills better than reading from a textbook.

Find it really useful and fun to learn Emergency, I’m in my last year of med school and these clinical scenarios are great way to apply my clinical reasoning skills, great range of cases some are very challenging and some are easily manageable, as in real life. Very happy with my subscription worth every penny. Well done guys.

As a medical student going into a career in emergency medicine, FullCodeMedicalSimulation has been absolutely invaluable. The cases are lifelike, presented in a very intuitive way, and the feedback at the end is better than what I’ve had from some of my actual professors. A must have for any medical student hoping to do EM.

This is the most realistic game I have played. Although it is realistic you have to take into consideration that most games that are this real are pretty expensive. Overall this game is really fun and I recommend you getting it if you like realistic games, ok with price, and love having a good time playing something.

The scenarios touch upon many of the common and not so common presentations in the Emergency Department. It’s a nice review and doesn’t dive too deep where you get lost in the weeds. It’s a good reminder of some of the true emergencies that we don’t see everyday but need to have a firm grasp of. Reviews at the end of the case have quick summaries with articles attached if you want a more in depth review. All in all I would recommend

As a PA, I was searching for an app to refresh before working back in urgent care or the Emergency Department. The cases are appropriately challenging, and peer reviewed by physicians with references attached at the end of the cases. The ancillary options are equivalent to a typical ED or Level 2 trauma center. I appreciate the feedback as Critical, Reasonable, Neutral, or Unnecessary for some actions, instead of strictly incorrect. If you’re searching for an interactive app that’s only $12/month, it’s worth every penny.

As a student, FullCodeMedicalSimulation lets you make a mistake and LEARN from it without killing your patient IRL. FullCodeMedicalSimulation allows for step by step thinking and problem solving, from the moment the patient is triaged to the discharge and handoff. Each case and update gets better. I love how new cases come out weekly. FullCodeMedicalSimulation never gets boring. I highly recommend it to anyone nervous to treat their patients in ED rounds, IT IS NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. But very useful in the step by step actions, and great feedback on the things that were good to do, or harmful.

I am an NP student- I’ve played 80+ cases with FullCodeMedicalSimulation and find most of them pretty cool. It’s a great way to exercise critical thinking as a clinician. Here how the cases go:
A patient comes in- you are provided with the H+P as well as PMH.
You can examine all the systems you’d like and that information will be provided.
You can order labs and imaging.
You can prescribe and administer drugs and see immediate responses in the patient’s vitals.
You can consult other physicians.

Overall pretty cool and accurate; although most of the cases are very basic and cookie cutter admissions so you dont have to think too hard on it.
Sometimes certain tests won’t add up, but this is infrequent. For example, I remember once there was a patient with a PE though the EKG did not show RV strain pattern. Just a tiny detail, I know but little things like that. Overall, however it is very cool.

I’ve been using FullCodeMedicalSimulation on and off for about 10 months, and I am amazed by how much knowledge can be gained.

Although you don’t actually perform the interventions and physically touch a patient, it provides good insight and knowledge on patient workups and helps train your mind on assessing acute cases.

I’m only certified as an EMT, but FullCodeMedicalSimulation grows my confidence in understanding different varieties of cases that I’m not normally exposed to at my job and gives me a peek into what happens to patients once they arrive into the ED.

Would recommend this to anyone looking to expand their knowledge at any level.

I’m a new Nurse, I’ve only been licensed for a year. I have one year Med/Surg experience. I got bored doing hardly anything and decided I wanted to NURSE! I went into Emergency Medicine, and found my passion! Except one thing, I knew NOTHING! I’m 3 weeks in, and FullCodeMedicalSimulation has helped me tremendously! You never stop learning in medicine, but this will keep you on your toes and your A-game!

To succeed you must have a working knowledge of anatomy, pathology, test interpretation, and pharmacology. These are the kinds of cases we face in our medical teaching system in the western world, except someone stands over our shoulders so we don’t kill anyone.

I'm not a doctor, but I loved playing in FullCodeMedicalSimulation! The realistic environment kept me engaged and there were so many tests to run that it had a long play life. I went back in three times to improve my score. Lots of fun!

I am a in love with this simulation. It really gives perspective to the medical world and the day to day challenges.

My only problem. It doesn’t allow me to “subscribe” or choose other cases. It quite annoying.

Can this be fixed?

ER Nurse with 1 year experience. FullCodeMedicalSimulation is the closest thing to actual scenario’s that I see on a daily basis. Medications are relevant, vital signs and presentations are realistic. Great app for anyone trying to refresh or to learn something new - especially if you haven’t been exposed to a diverse group of situations.

This game is amazing I’ve never seen anything like it. As a nursing student that has recently taken patho and fundamentals of adult health this is a great way to test knowledge and actually see it play out. I wish there were more free cases!
