APLS Australia 1.25.0

This application provides a comprehensive collection of paediatric emergency algorithms based on the Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS) framework established in Australia. Designed specifically for healthcare professionals involved in acute paediatric care, these flowcharts offer quick reference guides across a broad spectrum of emergency situations.

The algorithms cover essential topics including:

• Paediatric Basic Life Support
• Advanced Life Support
• Cardiac Arrest Management
• Choking in Children
• Anaphylaxis Management
• Bradycardia Management
• SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia) Management
• VT (Ventricular Tachycardia) Management
• Management of Coma
• Status Epilepticus Management
• Spinal Imaging, Referral, and Clearance
• Intubation and Failed Intubation Checklists
• Hyperkalaemia Management
• Blood and Fluid Therapy in Trauma
• A structured approach to paediatric emergency scenarios
• Newborn Life Support as per the Australian and New Zealand Resuscitation Council guidelines

These algorithms are integral components of the three-day APLS course, which is widely considered the premier international standard for paediatric emergency training. They are intended exclusively for use by healthcare professionals who have completed an accredited full APLS course within Australia or New Zealand.

The app’s content has been thoroughly revised for 2023 to align with the latest APLS curriculum, including the 6th edition of Advanced Paediatric Life Support: A Practical Approach to Emergencies (Australia & New Zealand), and current international consensus guidelines.

Additionally, users can explore further information about the APLS program, access recordings from past Paediatric Acute Care Conferences, and find upcoming courses in their area directly within the application.
