PALS NALS pediatric advanced life support
Just another program from Skyscape
This time they provided a short text monographs for the AHA 2005 guidelines on ACLS and PALS.
With the exception of the neonatal advanced life support algorithm the rest of the program is simply a text info and this is a drawback for this piece of software as it can not be used for very quick access in emergency situations.
Another disadvantage is that it is not updated with the new 2006 guidelines!
A list of topics discussed as shown here from the PALS part of the software. Tapping on these topics will reveal (See Right) short monographs for a quick description of each PALS scenario. The NALS guidelines presented with much more palatable (yes or no) algorithm approach yet unfortunately is not so detailed and presented in one step algorithm.
