Code cards: ACLS, BLS, PALS — fully offline.
Algorithm cards for ACLS, BLS, PALS, sepsis, stroke, and STEMI. Educational decision-support — your code team and facility protocols are the source of truth.
When a code happens, your AHA card is wherever you left it last shift. Your phone is in your pocket. RN PocketPal’s code cards are designed to be glance-readable in the first 30 seconds — algorithm at the top, drug doses below, intervals visible without scrolling.
What RN PocketPal does
- ACLS algorithms: cardiac arrest, ROSC, bradycardia, tachycardia, ACS, suspected stroke.
- BLS sequences: adult, pediatric, infant.
- PALS algorithms: pediatric cardiac arrest, bradycardia, tachycardia.
- Sepsis bundle (3-hour and 6-hour), stroke pathway, STEMI pathway.
- Drug dose tables included on each card. Verify against facility protocol.
- 100% offline.
Who it’s for
Bedside RNs and LPNs in acute care, ED, ICU, step-down, peri-op, and rapid-response teams. Useful for code refresher between certification cycles, not a substitute for formal AHA-recognized ACLS / BLS / PALS training.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this replace my AHA certification?
- No. RN PocketPal’s code cards are educational reference; AHA-recognized ACLS, BLS, and PALS training and certification remain required for clinical practice.
- How current are the algorithms?
- Algorithms are updated when published guidelines change (e.g. AHA ACLS updates). Each card is stamped with a “Last reviewed” date so you can see at a glance whether your reference is current.
- Are the drug doses standardized?
- Doses follow widely-cited published values. Always verify against your facility’s code cart drug card and pharmacy-approved dosing for the specific patient.
- Can I jump straight to a specific algorithm?
- Yes. Code cards open to a quick-pick screen — pick the algorithm and the page renders in one tap.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes — fully offline. Designed for hospital environments where Wi-Fi is unreliable.
