Train the reflexes that save lives.
Resus Invaders is a mobile-first arcade for clinicians drilling Advanced Life Support and Paediatric ALS. Rhythms, drug timing, 4 Hs/4 Ts, pacing and post-ROSC care — practised as short, high-repetition missions aligned to ARC / ANZCOR guidelines.
Our aim
Cardiac arrest performance depends on recall under pressure. Textbooks and annual courses aren't enough — the evidence for spaced, retrieval-based practice is overwhelming. Resus Invaders turns each ARC algorithm into 60-second arcade drills you can run on a phone between cases, so drug doses, shock energies and reversible causes stay in fast memory.
- Recall, not recognitionType doses and pick rhythms from memory, not multiple choice.
- Spaced repetitionWeak items resurface until they stick.
- Guideline-trueEvery answer maps to a current ARC/ANZCOR statement.
How it works
From quick recall drills to full branching cases, every session follows a deliberate learning loop.
- 1Spaced flashcards
Short daily recall drills for doses, rhythms and reversible causes. Weak cards resurface until they stick.
- 2Phase 2 case simulation
Drop into branching ALS or APLS scenarios. Every choice — shock, drugs, 4H/4T — changes the patient's path.
- 3Detailed debrief
Review each decision: why it was correct, why it was unsafe, and what to do next time. Learn from every branch.
- 4Track improvement
Dashboard analytics show your accuracy by case type, common mistakes and trend over time.
