About

HALO

Features
Read full description

HALO: EM is a bedside reference for rare, time-critical emergencies — the procedures you perform rarely and cannot afford to get wrong. It works fully offline. AROUND 150 PROCEDURE CARDS • Airway • Resuscitation • Obstetric emergencies • Access and decompression • Core emergency department procedures • Toxicology • Critical care • Pediatric and neonatal emergencies Each card is step-by-step, written to be read while you are doing the procedure, not an hour before it. DECISION ALGORITHMS Around 35 guided algorithms that ask one question at a time and take you to the decision, instead of handing you a flowchart to decode under pressure. IMMOBILIZATION REFERENCE Casting and splinting guidance for injuries across five body regions. BUILT FOR THE BEDSIDE • Resuscitation mode — large type, with a timer • Weight-based dose calculator that flags dose ceilings • Search that tolerates typos and abbreviations • Local notes on any card, so your department's protocol lives with the card • Dark mode and adjustable text size FULLY OFFLINE, NO DATA COLLECTED HALO: EM makes no network requests and collects no data. It works in a resus bay with no signal, on a retrieval, or anywhere else the network does not reach. WHO IT IS FOR Qualified healthcare professionals and trainees: emergency physicians, residents, rural and remote generalists, paramedics, emergency nurses and critical care clinicians. HALO: EM is a reference aid. It is not a substitute for clinical judgment, local protocols or specialist advice. Verify all doses against your institutional guidance before administration.
