Carried in the pockets, phones and emergency vehicles of millions of first responders, this is the guide EMS Magazine calls “the original and still the best.” The EMS Field Guide app puts critical information at your fingertips with rich content, detailed illustrations and pioneering features. This app is available in two editions— Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic & Intermediate Life Support (BLS)—designed specifically to correspond with each tier of EMT certification and practice, so you know you have the right tool for your job. The Advanced Life Support (ALS) app equips the Paramedic or EMT-P to triage and address trauma. It provides fast, easy access to vital assessment information, medications, and drug doses; quick interpretation of 12-Lead EKGs; and the latest CPR and ACLS algorithms from the American Heart Association (AHA). The ALS app is also suitable for Intermediates whose practice orders require a more detailed understanding of these topics. REVIEWS “The EMS Field Guide by Informed is probably the most popular pocket reference guide carried on ambulances across the country.” “I love your guides. I’ve been a paramedic for 25 years and your ALS guides are the best source of reliable on-scene information.” “This is a great review tool as well as a resource.” “…Highly recommended in some of my advanced cardiac life support training courses.” “One of the best things a paramedic can have. A cheat sheet for the things you may not always remember.” FOR MORE INFORMATION Informed Publishing offers a full product line of references for the medical and first response markets, as well as a consumer line for home and family emergency preparedness. Informed references are available in a variety of formats: pocket-size print guides, and now, apps for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Learn more at www.informedguides.com.

★★★★★Sad🇺🇸 US

This was a great tool to use. Now it’s frozen and unavailable. Please fix

★★★★Do not use ! Outdated and bug filled🇺🇸 US

Apple should remove as this app is no longer supported and outdated, may cause EMS professionals to make mistakes.

Gun tuna· 2023-11-05
★★★★NO NO NO🇺🇸 US

Do not buy. Should be fixed or removed.

Medicman301· 2022-08-19
★★★★Does not have current AHA guidelines.🇺🇸 US

Needs to be updated to reflect current guidelines. Considering they no longer make the pocket guide in print and electronic versions aren’t able to be used by students for testing it would be nice if the study tools were at least accurate.

paramedicteach· 2022-01-27
★★★★★Great app when it loads content🇺🇸 US

Love the app when it actually loads the content. Often it is blank and re-downloading the app is needed and veryInconvenient when needed on an emergency run.

Medic Schep· 2021-09-01
★★★★Don’t waste money🇺🇸 US

I should’ve read the reviews.

Pamey Sue· 2021-04-06
★★★★App doesn’t work🇺🇸 US

I’ve had the app for about 4 years and when I open it, the home page is Black. In addition to contacting tech support with no resolution. It would be great if the bugs were fixed. I don’t recommend this in its current state. Update 3/2021 The Home page still doesn’t work. When the app is opened, the “Home Page” is black. No content just a Black Screen.

★★★★★Screen menu does not load🇺🇸 US

When starting the AAP the main menu remains black yet all of the other menus work fine The only way I can get the main menu to open is to reload the app Not impressed for sure since I actually purchased it the other day

★★★★Needs version for iPad🇺🇸 US

This is a great product if you don’t want to carry the physical book in your pants all the time. I just wish that they had a iPad version available in addition to the iPhone. While I am able to download this on our iPad the logo is not there so it is not easy to find and I have to magnify the app and everything gets distorted. My service uses iPads for our PCRs and would buy this for every unit if it were more compatible with the iPad and I would buy another copy for my iPad mini that I bring with me on flight calls with my other quick reference guides.

★★★★Terrible🇺🇸 US

This is such a waste of money! The “topics” tab where most of the info is doesn’t even work it just appears black! So when you need it just forget it!
