[UPDATE: 04-29-09] This app has been removed from the app store and is no longer available
A small app called PALS has been recently published to the iPhone platform [download it here from iTunes] which is providing an easy to use step by step approach to all PALS scenarios.
Here are some screenshots;
The flow of pages in Yes or No guided steps allow us to refresh the procedure in our minds in matter of seconds before encountering the ER child, which is really what we want in a rush situation and we don’t want complicated interfaces that takes us minutes and hours to digest.
At a $5 price this app is a must have to any child health care professional [doctors and nurses] exposed to life threatening cases.
However there certain improvements that has to be considered in future updates of this little app; first they should provide us with a list of references so that we know that the content is from a trusted source; second they should at least add some drug dosages of commonly used medications in PALS scenarios with a built-in calculator; third they should add NALS to the package in order to make it a complete pediatric ER algorithms app.

They should lower price it’s too much for such a simple app

Hi Dulce,
It is really interesting how that app disappeared from the app store!
I contacted the developer and they informed me that they had to remove the app because the American Heart Association declared that PALS algorithms is a copyright material and should not be released without license!
This app is no longer available!

This is so silly of the AHA. You can google and print the algorithms without any problems. The ACLS and PALS algorithms are available if you just look. What is the difference in printing from google vs. buying for your iphone. The AHA needs to get a grip. If they want to make money then have a part of the cost for the iphone go back to them.

RE: julie,
You are absolutely right, it is so sad seeing AHA blocking iPhone access while it’s available everywhere else without royalties and fees.
However, I contacted AHA and they informed me that the main reason is that they asked for that app to be removed is that shortly they are going to release their own app for the iPhone!
No details about it’s name or release date given.
