Go · decision pathways, on your phone
One patient.
One decision at a time. Every choice has a consequence.
A condition played as a series of decisions. Pick what you would do next; the patient gets better or worse because of it. Four pathways are open below: no account, nothing recorded.
Practice on a simulation. Every pathway is a draft under review. Not clinical guidance.
ACLS Unstable rapid atrial fibrillation, unstable
Irregularly irregular narrow-complex tachycardia at 165–180. Pressure 74/46, crackles to the mid-zones, ST depression laterally, cool and clammy. Afebrile, no blood loss, abrupt onset two hours ago. Pads are on.
What do you do next?
How it works
A condition is a series of branchpoints
- See
The patient, now
A live rhythm strip, the vitals and two lines of story. The clock starts once you have had time to read.
- Choose
What do you do next?
A handful of options. Each was graded when the pathway was written, and the dangerous one is written to be tempting.
- Manage
The patient changes
A wrong move makes the patient worse and you manage what you caused. After each answer: the better move, the pearl and its source.

- ACLS
ACLS Unstable rapid atrial fibrillation, unstable
Atrial fibrillation at 170 with hypotension, ischaemia and pulmonary oedema caused by the rate: synchronised cardioversion at an adequate energy, escalation when the first shock fails, and no rate-control drugs into a falling pressure.
Play → - Resuscitation
Anaphylaxis
Anaphylactic shock during an antibiotic infusion: intramuscular epinephrine first, then position, fluids, a second dose at five minutes, and the escalation for refractory shock — infusion, glucagon for the beta-blocked patient, and an early airway.
Play → - ACLS
ACLS Symptomatic bradycardia
Unstable complete heart block: one dose of atropine without waiting on it, transcutaneous pacing with proof of mechanical capture, a chronotrope as a bridge, and the call for a transvenous wire.
Play → - ACLS
ACLS VF / pulseless VT
Shockable cardiac arrest: the shock → two minutes of CPR → rhythm check cycle, with epinephrine after the second shock and amiodarone after the third.

What signing in adds
Every pathway
All 31, and the Mega Code that chains three of them: survive the bradycardia and you inherit the arrest.
Review your misses
Every answer you gave, the right one when yours was not, the reasoning and the source it rests on.
Leaderboards
By public handle, per pathway and lifetime, one board per depth.

For educators
Write a pathway for your learners
Drawn, not coded
A pathway is nine patient states and twelve arrows on a canvas. Every save is a version; one named editor publishes.
Checked before it is played
Software refuses a dead end, and flags a wrong move that kills in one step unless the reason is written down.
Tested by simulated learners
An AI learner plays each pathway at several levels of experience and reports the unclear question, the give-away option and the disputed key.
One event, every role
Each intervention names who carries it out: physician, nursing, pharmacy, respiratory. Reviewers from each profession comment without publishing.

What it is not
Not a credential
Go confers no certification and no continuing education credit. It is preparation and a refresher.
Not clinical guidance
Each pathway was checked against its references. None has finished physician review. Follow your own protocols.
Not a record of you
An open pathway stores nothing. With an account, a leaderboard shows your public handle and your score, never your name.
