Critical Care Vault
Critical care training & tools
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
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.
