EMS Guidebook allows the user to view the medical protocols of specific EMS agencies. This guidebook is meant to be a replacement of the traditional flip book guides that EMTs and Paramedics carry for reference on emergency calls. The specific agencies protocols require passwords to download. Those passwords are available from the agency's Training Officer. The Generic Protocols are available without a password. As part of the base program, each set of protocols contain references such as pediatric vital signs, burn references, c-spine clearance charts, 12-lead guidelines, American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines, START and JumpSTART triage guides. There are also guides to several common cardiac rhythms with examples. If you wish to have your protocols put into this system contact us through the app

Verdict

The call

EMT Tutor Study Guide and EMS Guidebook both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of EMT Tutor Study Guide's written reviews are positive against 33% of EMS Guidebook's. EMT Tutor Study Guide also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). EMS Guidebook's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99). On rating, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
