I'm a registered nurse with more than 25 years in the emergency department and 3 years as a flight nurse. I've worked the codes that don't fit neatly into one course: the STEMI patient who crashes on the highway, the blast injury that slides into PEA, the trauma arrest where the team falls back on running ACLS.

Those patients taught me that cardiac and trauma resuscitation shouldn't live in two separate binders. So I wrote Code Trauma: An Integrated Approach to ACLS and ATLS, one framework (xABCDE) for the patient who is cardiac, traumatic, or both.

Code Trauma now includes the study guide, integrated algorithm flowcharts and posters, ACLS/ATLS flashcards, and Code Quest, a free gamified app that lets you practice the decisions before they matter.

Everything here is built for emergency clinicians: ED and trauma nurses, flight crews, paramedics and EMTs, physicians and APPs, students and educators. Start with the free xABCDE pocket cards.
