About this app

Pedi-STAT is a rapid reference for RNs, paramedics, physicians and other healthcare professionals caring for pediatric patients in the emergency or critical care environment.

Pedi-STAT features include:

- Rapid results for airway interventions including endotracheal tube sizes, depth, intubation medication dosages, ventilator settings, and sedation

- Cardiac resuscitation data including weight specific dosages for resuscitation medications, cardioversion, and defibrillation

- Access to age and weight specific pediatric equipment including foley catheters, airway management, chest and NG tubes, peripheral and central line sizes, and more

- Seizure medication dosages

- Management of hypoglycemia including age specific dextrose concentrations

- Reference of age specific normal vital signs

- Procedural sedation dosages including single dose meds and infusions, as well as reversal agents

- Calculated pain management medications

- Medical management of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis

Users can quickly access critical information accurately, without having to rely on memory or cumbersome textbooks.

With just a few taps, users have access to all the necessary data to care for a pediatric patient in the emergent setting, including weight-based and age specific medication dosages and equipment sizes.

Since many of the patients present with minimal known information, all the results can be calculated rapidly with only a known age, date-of-birth, weight, length, or height. Simply enter the known variable and the data is instantly calculated.

Developed by an Emergency Physician, this app minimizes the risk of medical errors allowing the provider to spend more time caring for the patient, and less time looking up and calculating doses.

It is a critical companion for any physician, nurse, paramedic, or medical trainee involved in the care of critically ill pediatric patients.

Ratings and reviews

Missing vital information. Decided to try it because lately we have had a lot of very small preemies delivered right in the ER or brought in from home. None of the standard preemie meds/doses are in the app. No Curosurf, not the right dosing on antibiotics, and so on. No guidelines on which strengths of certain meds should be avoided in neonates/infants. I'm sure it's fine for regular kids, but it's not helpful for neonates, especially preemies. Deleting.

it's a great but not perfect app in the field when making quick decisions, but I wish that since we pay for it, there were an option to log in so you don't have to pay again each time you get a new phone.

Does not open. Loads forever. Bought the app worked once and ever since all the app does is say pedistat is loading please wait and never actually loads. I've tried reinstalling the app. Restarting my phone and nothing. Waste of $7 which sucks as I've heard all but good things about the app.
