PCR - WV BLS v4.19

Overview

This PCR is organized to match the way EMTs are trained — Pre-Assessment first, then Primary, then Secondary, then Transport. Work top to bottom during the call and fill in as you go. Everything auto-saves to your browser.

Sections

Incident Information — date, times, unit, crew. Fill this in on dispatch.
Scene Size-Up — BSI, scene safety, number of patients, MOI/NOI, spinal considerations.
Patient Information — demographics, DOB auto-calculates age, weight auto-converts lbs ↔ kg.
Chief Complaint — check Medical and/or Trauma to unlock the relevant assessment sections.
Primary Assessment (XABCDE) — life threat evaluation. Check each letter to expand findings checkboxes.
OPQRST — appears when Medical is checked. Pain assessment fields.
DCAP-BTLS — appears when Trauma is checked. Body region exam organized by area.
SAMPLE History — signs/symptoms, allergies, medications, PMH, last oral, events.
Vital Signs — add sets with the + button. Tracks time since last vitals. Mark Stable or Unstable.
ALS Assist — appears when ALS Assist is checked. Documents ALS unit info, interventions, and meds.
Treatments & Medications — select BLS meds from the dropdown; dose auto-fills based on patient age and weight.
Transport & Narrative — disposition, destination, transport mode. Use Auto-Generate to build a narrative from your entered data, then edit as needed.

Clinical Alerts

Red and yellow alert banners appear automatically at the top as you enter data — based on chief complaint, vitals, and exam findings. Red = critical, act now. Yellow = differential to consider. These are decision support only, not a substitute for your training.

Medications

Select a medication from the dropdown and the dose auto-calculates based on the patient's age and weight you entered. Always verify the dose before administering.

Quick Tips

Getting Started

• Tap any section header to expand or collapse it. Use More → Expand All to open everything at once.

• Start by checking the Emergency Type (Medical, Trauma, Environmental) in Chief Complaint. This shows/hides relevant sections automatically.

• The timestamp bar below the header lets you tap once to record On Scene, Contact, Depart, and Arrive times. Tap again to clear if hit by mistake, tap again to re-record.

Vitals

• Tap Add Vitals to create a new set. Fill in the fields, then tap Submit to lock them and start the timer.

• After submitting, tap Edit to unlock for corrections. The original timestamp won't change.

• GCS uses dropdown selects — the scale automatically adjusts for Adult, Pediatric (2-5yr), or Infant (<2yr) based on the patient's age.

• GCS score only calculates when all three (E, V, M) are entered.

Priority System

• The app background tints green (Stable), yellow (Potentially Unstable), or red (Unstable) based on clinical findings.

• Vitals-based alerts (SpO2, HR, BP, GCS, RTS) lock the priority — it won't drop even if vitals improve.

• Checkbox-based alerts (environmental types) are dynamic — unchecking clears that alert.

• You can manually raise priority by setting Status in the vitals to Potentially Unstable or Unstable.

• A popup appears for any new critical (red) alert. Tap X or outside to dismiss.

RTS (Trauma)

• The Revised Trauma Score auto-calculates on trauma calls when GCS, BP, and Respiratory Rate are entered.

• RTS displays in the Vitals section and Transport section with transport recommendations.

Body Diagram

• Inside the DCAP-BTLS section, tap Body Diagram to open. Tap the body to mark an injury, then tap the injury type — it saves automatically.

• Tap an existing marker to edit or delete. Switch Anterior/Posterior with the tabs. Diagram shows male/female based on patient sex.

Significant MOI

• In Chief Complaint, checking Significant MOI expands a list of common significant mechanisms. These feed into the narrative.

Narrative

• Tap Auto-Generate to build a complete PCR narrative from all data entered. You can edit the text afterward.

• The narrative includes all sections: response times, scene, patient info, assessments, vitals, treatments, transport, and more.

Saving & Records

• Save stores the report in browser storage. Records shows all saved reports.

• New saves the current report and creates a blank one. Clear wipes the current report (with confirmation).

• Export downloads a JSON file you can transfer to another device. Import loads a JSON file.

• Data is saved in your browser — clearing browser data will delete reports. Export important reports as backup.
