Cardiac Arrest!

This is the world's premiere ACLS simulator. More complete yet
more practical than anything else you'll find on the market anywhere,
for any price. Cardiac Arrest! is the product that launched Mad Scientist
Software in 1986, and it remains our flagship product.

Cardiac Arrest! has 45 patients for resuscitation. There are pediatric
patients, easier patients, and real rack-your-brains patients with problems
like hyperkalemia, hypothermia, and tricyclic overdose. You see and
hear the resuscitation, watch the cardiac monitor, and order interventions.
ACLS becomes a challenging adventure game!

There are on-screen drug listings, on-screen protocol charts, on-line
manual, real-time ECG monitor, animated CPR, patient hints, and
much more. All in an easy-to-use Windows format. There's NOTHING else
like the Cardiac Arrest! simulator.

Cardiac Arrest is $99.95.
(Combined with Code Team! as The ACLS Teaching Series, $139.95)

Code Team!

Code Team! is an excellent companion to Cardiac Arrest!, but can
be used on its own to learn ACLS. This program is used by many
paramedic training programs as required coursework. But it's not only
for those who need the basics. The quizzes and case scenarios are
perfect for the physician or experienced nurse who must "face ACLS
once again."

The program has three teaching tools: CardioQuiz, computer-assisted
learning of ACLS drugs, protocols, and procedures; EKG Teaching, a
rhythm-strip interpretation trainer; and ACLS Protocols, a scenario
simulator that walks you through the arrhythmia treatment algorithms
to test your knowledge.

Code Team! is $79.95.

MicroEKG

What are the criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy? Which leads
should always have upright T waves? What's the significance of Type
One versus Type Two second-degree AV block? What sort of infarction
occurs with occlusion of a dominant left circumflex coronary artery?
Even in these days of computer-interpreted ECGs, you need to know
what you're seeing on an ECG. Sometimes the computerized interpretation
is worthless; sometimes it's wrong!

MicroEKG is a great way to learn solid 12-lead ECG interpretation.
With tutorials, interpretation drills, and quizzes, you learn at your own
pace. This software can sharpen the ECG-reading skills of even the
best ICU and ER veterans!

MicroEKG is $89.95.

Trauma One!

Trauma One! is a unique multiple-trauma management simulator.
It puts you through the stress and turmoil of the emergency department
workup and stabilization of big-time trauma -- teaching therapeutic
priorities, threshhold for action, and completeness of workup.

Trauma One! comes with twelve patients. You begin stabilization,
get history and exam information, order tests, and perform procedures.
Meanwhile, the computer is out to get you. It's looking for any weakness
or slipup in your approach, so it can make your patient crump. It's fun!

Trauma One! is $109.95.

Blood Gases

Does the thought of "acid-base balance" make your skin crawl? Do
A-a gradients terrorize you? You need Mad Scientist Software's Blood
Gases program.

Blood Gases teaches some of the most difficult, yet important
material in medicine. This program succeeds where other teaching
methods fail. Not only does Blood Gases teach, but it will also interpret
acid-base balance and lung function for you.

The program teaches Aa gradient calculation and interpretation,
acid-base balance, respiratory physiology and anatomy, and acidosis
management.

Blood Gases is $69.95.

PAIGE

PAIGE means PAtient Instruction GEnerator. This easy-to-use
program creates customized instruction sheets for individual patients.

Pick individual instruction "pieces" from the pop-down menus and
submenus to assemble an instruction sheet that's very specific to
each patient -- there are diagnosis instructions, drug and treatment
instructions, and followup instructions. PAIGE will keep an electronic
log of the instructions you give.

PAIGE can send prescriptions to a separate printer. It can also
print back-to-work slips and specific operative consent forms. All
instructions are fully editable, and you can easily add your own.

PAIGE is $289.95 for Windows or DOS. Specify Emergency
Medicine or Family Practice instruction database. Add Spanish
or additional database $150.

Chest Pain Simulator

The Chest Pain Simulator (DOS version titled Time is Myocardium)
lets you practice basic stabilization and workup of chest pain. The
program teaches therapeutic priorities and approach to safe workup.
Considering that chest pain is the number one cause of malpractice
suits against internists and emergency physicians, this program is
an excellent addition to your medical teaching software!

The program has 30 patients, with over 12 possible chest pain
diagnoses. Your workup is monitored for safety, appropriateness
and cost-effectiveness. For myocardial infarction patients, you're
expected to determine indications and contraindications to
thrombolytics.

Chest Pain Simulator is $99.95.
