  • Among other tools provided in the Tables of Epocrates comes the PALS
    guidelines.
  • A short text reference that discusses important points and outlines the
    guidelines published in Circulation 2005 (AHA guidelines).
  • Epocrates Tables comes free with Epocrates Rx Pro and Epocrates Essentials
    packages.
  • Sadly this reference is not suitable for in-the-elevator review, that is we can not
    read it on the run or while in the ER. It does however provide a good refreshing
    reviews of the information when we want to remember the whole algorithm.
  • Another disadvantage is that it does not come in yes or no algorithm pattern
    which is highly needed in emergency situations.
  • It covers all scenarios (See screen shot below) even the neonatal resuscitation
    guidelines.
