Paramedic iPhone App

[OntarioMedic]

The OntarioMedic Paramedic Field Guide is NOW on iTunes and App Store.

This is the first and only app that has been created for Ontario Paramedics and reflects Ontario Protocols and Procedures. This app is a valuable resource for any and ALL medical first responders.

This new edition is fully interactive, opens and loads fast and has been designed to be easy to read when you need it most (on your way to the call or even during).

The protocols and cardiac arrest algorithms are current with the Ontario Base Hospital Group, the Ontario Medical Advisory Committee and the American Heart Association.

While this guide does contain all medical and cardiac arrest protocols it also contains detailed information on:
Airway Management
Cardiac Emergencies
Rapid ECG Interpretation
Respiratory Emergencies
Pediatric Emergencies
Medical Emergencies
Traumatic Emergencies (including Canadian C-Spine Rules)

You can find our app in Apple’s App Store now!

Lol I was thinking the same, however I'm sure it is meant to be for the average "non paramedic" to assist with proper procedures......... I hope. I do have an app on my phone called "EMT academy" and it does have a lot of useful info and quizzes. Worth the couple of bux. Seeing as this one is geared to Ontario it may have been a better choice if it was available at the time.

I pull references somewhat regularly on calls. My right cargo pocket holds my field reference book and I've verified pediatrics and toxidromes more than once. I also keep a small pocket drug reference for referring to Pt.'s meds I'm unfamiliar with or to get more information on certain drugs.

I've used the ePocrates pill identifier feature on my iphone app to looks up unknown meds on OD calls.

I've only very rarely had to reference my actual medical directives during the course of a call, (right after I started on the road) but I like knowing they're there as a 3am safety net.

Beyond that I keep Merck Manual of Patient Symptoms and Handbook of Pathophysiology in my gear bag. (texts for back at base or in the hospital)

Better to reference when needed then fake it until you make it.
