Critical care rewards the clinician who can reason fast: read the numbers, see the pattern, choose the next move. Critical Care Vault is built to train that, not just test recall. It pairs interactive reasoning practice with a bedside reference so you can sharpen your thinking on a slow afternoon and look something up between cases on a busy one.
Built from bedside critical-care experience for the whole ICU team: nurses, NPs, PAs, residents, fellows, RTs, pharmacists finding their footing, and intensivists keeping pattern recognition sharp.

TRAIN THE REASONING
• Question Bank — 850+ clinical questions across cardiac, pulmonary, neuro, renal, hematology/immunology, endocrine/metabolic, GI, multisystem, professional/ethical, and device topics, written to mirror real ICU decision points. Every question is cited; newer sets break down why the right answer is right, why each wrong one is wrong, and the pearl that ties it together. Spaced review brings back what you miss.
• Bedside Simulation — Run a simulated ICU case on a monitor, ventilator, pacer, or Swan: make a call, watch the modeled physiology respond, then debrief what actually helped. Shock, low-flow states, bradycardia and pacing, and ventilator management.
• Hemodynamics Trainer — Six progressive modes that turn pressure, volume, and resistance into reflex-level pattern recognition. Read the shock state from the profile, predict the response to an intervention, and work a deteriorating case step by step.
• EKG Trainer — Conduction anatomy, 12-lead territory mapping, a clean rhythm library, and timed self-assessment. Sinus tach through VT, AV blocks, axis, and lead-by-lead infarct localization.
• Study Modules — One ICU topic at a time, concepts first, then check yourself: Vasopressors, Ventilator, ABG, Labs, Fluids, Hemodynamics, and Pharmacology. Progress is tracked on each.
KEEP THE REFERENCE CLOSE
• Clinical Tools — ICU calculators and scores, including MAP, CI, SVR, P/F ratio, anion gap, IBW, free water deficit, Fick CO, drip rate, and more.
• Protocols & Device Guides — Quick-access reference for shock, sepsis, ARDS, neuro, and surgical care, plus equipment-focused guides for ventilators, oxygen devices, pacers, PA waveforms, and CRRT.
• Medications — A dedicated ICU drug reference with case-based scenarios that put pharmacology into real decisions.
• Unified Search — One bar across questions, glossary, abbreviations, medications, and reference cards. Guest search respects preview limits; account mode unlocks full search coverage.
BUILT FOR THE UNIT
• Offline-first — bundled content available to your current access level works offline after setup.
• Optional cloud sync — carry your history and progress across devices.
• Dark, monitor-style interface with a light mode for shared screens.
• No ads, no subscription, and no advertising tracking.
INTENDED USE
Critical Care Vault is an educational training and reference tool for trained healthcare professionals. It is not a medical device, does not provide patient-specific diagnostic or treatment recommendations, and is not a substitute for clinical judgment, institutional protocols, or provider orders.
I really love how much I’ve been able to learn from this app! All the information is presented in a simple, straightforward, and concise way. Highly recommend!
App is great.

Don’t usually leave reviews for apps, but as a CVICU nurse this app is amazing especially studying for CCRN.
Developer Response
Thank you for taking the time to leave this. I’m a CVICU nurse too, so hearing that it’s helping another CVICU nurse study for CCRN means a lot. I’m continuing to build and improve it based on real feedback from clinicians using it.

Font is so small it’s impossible to see
Developer Response
Thank you for the feedback. You were right to point this out. Since this review, I added a Text Size option under Settings → Preferences with Standard, Large, and Extra Large options.Fitting this much clinical content into a handheld app is challenging, but readability matters. I’ll keep working on making the app easier to use without losing the depth of the content.
New Update v1.15
• Live waveforms in every simulation workspace: ECG, arterial line, SpO2,
respiratory, PA, CVP, and ventilator traces are generated in real time by
the physiology engine and respond to the scenario and your interventions
• Temporary pacer scenarios: capture, escape rhythms, and perfusion behave
like the real device, spike by spike
• Cleaner ventilator and Swan monitor layouts
• Daily Pearl: smoother reading, with Save next to the source links
• Reset Everything now resets every module and review queue
• Accessibility, reliability, and layout polish throughout
