USER GUIDE
ACLS Resuscitation Timer User Guide
Instructions for starting, pausing and resuming compressions, rhythm checks, intervention logging, and exporting ACLS timer records.
Quick Start
- Press START at the moment chest compressions begin.
- When compressions stop, press PAUSE COMPRESSIONS to record the interruption.
- After a rhythm check, select the rhythm and record defibrillation, epinephrine, antiarrhythmic medications, or advanced-airway interventions when performed.
- Press RESUME COMPRESSIONS when chest compressions restart.
- At ROSC or termination of resuscitation, select ROSC or End Resuscitation to view the summary.
Main Functions
| Total resuscitation time | Displays elapsed time from start to termination. |
|---|
| Cycle timer | Provides visual and audible cues for rhythm-check timing based on the selected cycle length. |
|---|
| CCF | Calculates chest-compression and interruption time from button-press timing and displays Chest Compression Fraction. |
|---|
| Intervention log | Records rhythm, defibrillation, epinephrine, antiarrhythmic medications, and advanced-airway interventions. |
|---|
| Export | Supports copy, CSV export, and printable/PDF-style reports. |
|---|
Accuracy Notes
CCF and interruption time are calculated from the time the user presses the buttons, not from an independent measurement of actual compression timing. Compare the generated record with video or the official record when available.
Audio and vibration may be limited by device power settings, browser policies, silent mode, or operating-system restrictions. Test alerts before training begins.
Clinical Scope
This tool is designed for advanced resuscitation education, simulation, team training, and record support. In actual patient care, current official resuscitation guidance, institutional protocols, the patient’s condition, and clinical judgment take priority.
