iPhone apps that will make an EMT’s job easier

From Medic 22

Here’s the post about my favorite EMS iPhone apps. These are the apps that I use to make my life easier. And yeah, I didn’t receive any compensation for this post.

First, The Paramedic Protocol Provider. I work in several different county systems. All have very different protocols. With the PPP, I can have them ALL at my fingertips. This is WELL worth the $7.99.

The Informed ALS field guide. A must have. And the new version rocks.

EMS Tracker is a great way to track scene times, vitals and procedures. Valuable. And, IT’S FREE!

When I work a code, I hand my iPhone with Full Code Pro to a firefighter and just have him push the buttons to mark what we’re doing. It makes charting the code so much easier.

Weight Calc? Pounds to Kg. Yeah. Find one you like. Easy and free.

My most used app is Epocrates. It’s the PDR, in your iPhone. Man, I love this app. Also, free.

Medscape is from WebMD. Some interesting stuff in here. Worth the sign up. The app is free.

  1. I wonder how many EMTs or FFs carry Iphones? Are there any Iphone apps for firefighters out there?

  2. Hi Steve, I have an app “Friction Loss Calc”, which is useful for firefighters.

  3. Larry – can you post where to find it/buy it? Steve

  4. Friction Loss Calc is available from The App Store at Apple, I paid 99 cents. I also downloaded “Flashover” from the App Store, the price was a little higher at 1.99, but it is a pretty useful tool for hydraulic calculations.
