About this app

This app allows users to dose pediatric emergency medicines and equipment to patient weight or age, organized by clinical situation or alphabetical list. It is ideal for paramedics, emergency physicians, urgent care physicians, pediatric residents, transport team members, and other health care professionals who care for critically-ill children.

This app was designed by a multi-disciplinary team of physicians, nurses, transport team members, and pharmacists affiliated with Children's National Health System.

The updated version contains med-dosing within PALS algorithms, improved style, error corrections, a new improved menu screen, and clinical protocol section. The original release won the Blue Aster award and was an adaptation of the popular "blue card" that was disseminated in the DC metropolitan area for years before mobile health.

Ratings and reviews

Helpful in that it shows the dose/kg, but you have to "open" each resuscitation medication to see the dose. I was hoping for a Braslow-like summary that I could easily pull up if ever needed. Pro: some medications do show the calculated dose based on weight. Cons: some medication doses are not calculated by weight. I cannot find a resuscitation page showing all doses in 1 place.

Great app, but tells me I need a weight or an age to continue even after inputting my patient's weight in kg. When it works, it's amazing though.

It's freaking awesome, helps on pediatric code training and in real life situations
