Short form
Protocol Guide is an educational study tool. It is not a medical device. It is not clinical decision support. It is not for bedside patient care.
Always follow your agency’s current published protocols and the direction of your medical director or base hospital physician.
What this product is
Protocol Guide helps students, educators, and agency training staff search published EMS protocol manuals with source citations. Answers are reference excerpts for study and teaching.
What this product is not
- Not a medical device
- Not clinical decision support software
- Not medical direction or online medical control
- Not a substitute for your local protocol book, training, or clinical judgment
- Not for use at the patient bedside to choose care
Your responsibility
You are responsible for patient care under your license, agency policies, and medical direction. If Protocol Guide and your agency manual disagree, your agency manual and medical director win.
Do not enter patient-identifiable information into search.
Sources
Protocol text comes from publicly published agency, state, and national documents. Each result names its source and links to the document when we have a link. Agencies update manuals on their own schedule. Always confirm you are reading the edition your agency currently runs.
Protocol Guide has protocols for every state and DC. Counties covering about 3 in 10 Americans use their local or regional EMS book, about 4 in 10 use their state’s published protocols, and the rest use the NASEMSO National Model Guidelines, which the app labels as not your local protocols. Always confirm against your medical director’s current protocols.
