The AHA PALS app contains clinical protocols, content, and resources to help healthcare professionals and EMTs provide lifesaving PALS at the point of care. 

The app was developed by Harvard-trained physicians, in collaboration with the AHA and Massachusetts General Hospital, to help fellow physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and EMTs deliver the highest level of PALS.

  • Post Cardiac Arrest Care
  • Critical Care References

This app includes all PALS content including drug therapy and dosing, reversible causes, etc, and is regularly updated with the most up to date PALS content. This is a subscription-based application.
