## What is WV EMS Guide?

WV EMS Guide is a fast, field-focused reference app built for West Virginia EMS providers. Designed for use in the ambulance, on scene, or during training, the app organizes the 2026 West Virginia Statewide EMS Pre-Hospital Protocols into a mobile-friendly format with quick navigation, searchable content, medication references, tools, calculators, and protocol support features.

WV EMS Guide is designed to help providers find important information quickly without digging through a PDF during a stressful call. Protocols are organized by category, including Universal Care, Trauma, Cardiac, Respiratory, Medical, Environmental, OB/GYN, Guidelines, Appendices, Tools, and Medications.

Key features include:

• Fast protocol browsing by category
• Powerful search for protocols, medications, tools, abbreviations, and conditions
• Medication reference pages with protocol links, dosing information, routes, cautions, and provider-level guidance
• Pediatric quick references, including age/weight guidance, vitals, airway equipment, and Pediatric GCS
• Calculators and field tools for common EMS needs
• Favorites and recently viewed items for quick return access
• Guided Mode for selected protocols to help organize key decision points
• Tappable related protocol links
• Default Medical Command selection with tap-to-call MEDCOM prompts
• Quick-call support for important protocol contacts such as Poison Control, Medical Examiner, and DHHR/CPS/APS reporting when applicable
• Call Assistant for active-call timestamping of medications, procedures, vitals, contacts, transport events, and custom notes
• Dark, high-contrast design with large touch targets for field use
• Offline-first structure for use when connectivity is limited

WV EMS Guide is not just a PDF viewer. Protocol information is presented in structured, readable sections with cards, callouts, related links, medication references, and quick-access tools to make the information easier to use in the field.

The medication section allows providers to quickly look up commonly used medications, view relevant protocol links, and reference dosing or route information as structured in the source protocols. Tools and calculators are included to support common field reference needs, while pediatric resources provide quick access to age-based and weight-based guidance.

The Call Assistant feature is a documentation support tool for active incidents. Users can start a call timer and timestamp medications, procedures, assessments, vitals, contacts, transport milestones, and custom notes. Entries can be edited, deleted, and copied into a timeline or narrative format for documentation support.

WV EMS Guide also includes an issue reporting option so users can report possible protocol discrepancies, broken links, incorrect phone numbers, medication concerns, or app bugs for review.

WV EMS Guide is a field reference tool based on the 2026 West Virginia Statewide EMS Pre-Hospital Protocols. It does not replace official WVOEMS protocols, agency policy, medical director guidance, required training, clinical judgment, or Medical Command.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-21

Medication scope of practice and procedure corrections.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-20

Protocol Scope & Guided Flow Fixes

Tourniquet conversion
Corrected to EMT scope in T001 and PT001 (both protocol data and the guided bleeding flow). Removed a hidden EMT-blocking gate that existed in a separate code path.
12-lead acquisition/transmission
Updated to EMT scope in C001, M005, and PM005.
Added the missing booklet E/A/P 12-lead step to PC005.
Right-sided V4R
Deliberately remains AEMT+ and is now protected by a dedicated test to prevent future cleanup from flattening the scope.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-19

Corrected provider scope for hydralazine, nitroglycerin, magnesium, acetaminophen and normal saline against the 2026 WV protocol booklet — several were showing as out of scope for EMTs when the protocol allows them. Each medication now shows the exact protocol, dose and route your level covers, and known contradictions in the booklet are listed on the Sources screen.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-17

Minor improvements and stability updates.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-07

Cosmetic and UI upgrades
