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

The clearest difference is update cadence: Vetr.com at fortnightly against EMS Guidebook's every 6 months. Vetr.com also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). EMS Guidebook's advantage is ratings volume (90 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
