Critical Care Vault

When the alarm fires and you have 30 seconds to act, your hands move faster than your memory. Critical Care Vault is built for that moment — and for the longer work of becoming the clinician who handles those moments better, week after week.

A bedside-ready reference. A confidence-building trainer. One app, made by a critical-care RN for the whole ICU team — from nurses, fellows, residents, NPs, PAs, RTs, and clinical pharmacists building their foundation, to seasoned intensivists keeping their pattern recognition sharp.

TRAINING THAT TRANSLATES TO THE BEDSIDE

• Clinical Question Bank — 1,100+ items spanning core critical care, advanced practice, and pharmacology. Built to mirror real ICU decision points, with clear three-part rationales (why correct, why wrong, the pearl) that explain the reasoning, not just the answer. Tagged across cardiac, pulmonary, neuro, renal, hematology, metabolic, surgical, GI, infectious, and device-specific topics.

• Hemodynamics Trainer — Six progressive modes (Profile, Recognition, Intervention, Simulate, Trending, Full Chain) that turn pressure, volume, and resistance into reflex-level pattern recognition. Master shock states, predict response, troubleshoot waveforms.

• EKG Prep — Rhythm anatomy, 12-lead territory mapping, classic strips, and timed self-assessment. Sinus tach through VT, AV blocks, axis, ischemia patterns, and lead-by-lead infarct localization.

• Vent Drill — Live monitor strip, mode selection, ABG-driven adjustments, and a troubleshooting matrix. Pressure-control, volume-control, PRVC, APRV, and ventilator-associated events.

• Vasopressor & Medication Drills — Mechanisms, dose ranges, mixing, and weaning logic for the common ICU vasopressors, inotropes, and high-stakes infusions.

• ABG Drill — Step-by-step acid-base interpretation including mixed disorders and compensation rules.

• Labs, Fluid, and Shock Drills — Pattern recognition for anion gap, osmolar gap, fluid responsiveness, electrolyte management, and shock differentiation.

REFERENCE AT THE BEDSIDE

• Clinical Tools — ICU calculators (MAP, CI, SVR, PAPI, P/F ratio, anion gap, corrected calcium, IBW, free water deficit, Fick CO, drip calculator) ready in seconds.

• ICU Protocols & Clinical Guides — Quick-access reference for shock, sepsis, ARDS, neuro, transplant, surgical, OB, and more.

• Device Guides — How the equipment actually works, from CRRT to IABP.

• Medications Hub — A dedicated home for ICU drug reference, with case-based Apply scenarios that test your decision-making in realistic situations.

• Unified Search — One search bar across abbreviations, glossary, reference cards, and the question bank. Find it before the rounds team moves on.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

• Works offline — all content is bundled in the app.

• Optional cloud sync — sign in to carry quiz history, drill scores, and review progress across devices.

• Three themes — default teal-green for daytime, neutral dark for night shift, and clinical light for shared screens.

• Listen Mode — hear questions and rationales when your eyes are busy.

• No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. We do not sell or share your data.

INTENDED USE

Critical Care Vault is an educational training and reference tool for trained healthcare professionals. It is not a medical device. It does not provide patient-specific diagnostic or treatment recommendations and is not a substitute for clinical judgment, institutional protocols, or provider orders.
