WV EMS Guide is a fast, field-focused reference app built for West Virginia EMS providers. Designed for use in the ambulance, on scene, or during training, the app organizes the 2026 West Virginia Statewide EMS Pre-Hospital Protocols into a mobile-friendly format with quick navigation, searchable content, medication references, tools, calculators, and protocol support features.
WV EMS Guide is designed to help providers find important information quickly without digging through a PDF during a stressful call. Protocols are organized by category, including Universal Care, Trauma, Cardiac, Respiratory, Medical, Environmental, OB/GYN, Guidelines, Appendices, Tools, and Medications.
Key features include:
• Fast protocol browsing by category
• Powerful search for protocols, medications, tools, abbreviations, and conditions
• Medication reference pages with protocol links, dosing information, routes, cautions, and provider-level guidance
• Pediatric quick references, including age/weight guidance, vitals, airway equipment, and Pediatric GCS
• Calculators and field tools for common EMS needs
• Favorites and recently viewed items for quick return access
• Guided Mode for selected protocols to help organize key decision points
• Tappable related protocol links
• Default Medical Command selection with tap-to-call MEDCOM prompts
• Quick-call support for important protocol contacts such as Poison Control, Medical Examiner, and DHHR/CPS/APS reporting when applicable
• Call Assistant for active-call timestamping of medications, procedures, vitals, contacts, transport events, and custom notes
• Dark, high-contrast design with large touch targets for field use
• Offline-first structure for use when connectivity is limited
WV EMS Guide is not just a PDF viewer. Protocol information is presented in structured, readable sections with cards, callouts, related links, medication references, and quick-access tools to make the information easier to use in the field.
The medication section allows providers to quickly look up commonly used medications, view relevant protocol links, and reference dosing or route information as structured in the source protocols. Tools and calculators are included to support common field reference needs, while pediatric resources provide quick access to age-based and weight-based guidance.
The Call Assistant feature is a documentation support tool for active incidents. Users can start a call timer and timestamp medications, procedures, assessments, vitals, contacts, transport milestones, and custom notes. Entries can be edited, deleted, and copied into a timeline or narrative format for documentation support.
WV EMS Guide also includes an issue reporting option so users can report possible protocol discrepancies, broken links, incorrect phone numbers, medication concerns, or app bugs for review.
Important disclaimer:
WV EMS Guide is a field reference tool based on the 2026 West Virginia Statewide EMS Pre-Hospital Protocols. It does not replace official WVOEMS protocols, agency policy, medical director guidance, required training, clinical judgment, or Medical Command. Users are responsible for following their current agency-approved protocols and scope of practice. This app is not an official WVOEMS or State of West Virginia application.
Version 1.1.3 makes the app faster to use on a call and easier to find your way around.
EASIER TO FIND WHAT YOU NEED
• New Home screen with the three call assistants and the most critical Adult and Pediatric protocols right up front.
• The Protocols tab now opens on a simple list of categories (Cardiac, Medical, Respiratory, Trauma and more). Tap one to see its protocols, and tap "All categories" to go back.
• Search understands the words crews actually use, like afib, vfib, sob, sugar, nitro, 12 lead, mvc, asa and amio.
• Protocol pages have a section bar so you can jump straight to the part you need.
• Favorites can be pinned, and the Tools tab has its own search.
TRANSFER AND CRITICAL CARE PROTOCOLS
• Optional C2IFT, C3IFT and CCT protocols. Turn them on in Settings under Transfer & Critical Care libraries. They look and work just like the 911 protocols, and you can star them.
DOSING
• Medication doses are shown per kg with the maximum dose, exactly as written in the 2026 WV protocols. The separate dose calculators have been removed, and any saved shortcuts to them now open the protocol that has the dose.
• Medication pages now list doses by what they're being given for, matching the protocol pages.
CALL ASSISTANTS
• The screen stays on during cardiac arrest and childbirth calls so reminders aren't missed when the phone would lock.
• Undo now asks for a second tap so entries aren't removed by accident.
• Medical Command calling is kept separate from logging, and Timeline and Copy handoff stay within reach on long calls.
PHONE NUMBERS
• The Medical Examiner button now calls 1-877-563-0426. The old number is out of service.
• WVU Medical Command has a second line: 304-598-4100.
• Call buttons now dial directly on all phones.
ALSO NEW
• A short five-step tour with pictures of each screen. Replay it anytime from Settings.
• Pediatric tube size, depth and suction come straight from the Appendix B table.
• The burn calculator asks how many hours ago the burn happened and adjusts the fluid plan.
• Send feedback from inside the app.
• Better VoiceOver and TalkBack support.
• Removed analytics tracking and the camera and location permissions the app never used.
