Emergency care or first aid algorithms or apps

Not exactly an “app”, but the WHO Surgical Care at the District Hospital manual is available in PDF and can be loaded onto any device that can read PDFs: http://www.who.int/surgery/publications/en/

Not sure about Algorithms but discussed Emergency Medicine/critical Care apps with some of our Anaesthetic trainees and have listed some below.

Life in the Fast Lane –   http://lifeinthefastlane.com/top-medical-iphone-apps/ a terrific website that recommends the best apps etc for Emergency Medicine & Critical care

WikEM / EMCRIT / Basics of Em Medicine / ERres / FOAM

Hope this is of help to you

Those working in emergency medicine and triage will be interested to know about free apps from the Open Medicine Project in Cape Town. Their triage app recently won a major international app award.
