Description

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.
************************************
Reviews
************************************
Among "The Best Drug Reference Apps for Emergency Physicians" - Emergency Physicians Monthly
5 STARS - "Simple interface provides rapid access to critical data needed when managing a critically ill pediatric patient"
5 Stars - "Very useful for treating kids in high pressure situations with precision."
*****************************
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.

Double check medication doses

Users should be aware that some of the dose recommendations for babies and young children are not accurate, and are potentially dangerous. We have contacted the developers who are working to fix this, but in the meantime be careful!

Outstanding Peds Resource

As an ED RN I use this app frequently, not just for really sick kids, where it's a must have, but for simple things like regular VS for a 3 year old. No resource is perfect but this one is as close as I've found.

8/10

As a paramedic, I primarily enjoy the vital signs. Though, counterintuitively, the 'vital signs' is alphabetically listed as 'normal viral signs'. It's useful otherwise.

Great app

Great app, but it would be nice to have the dosages show max doses or go above 40kg! Someone should incorporate acls into this and it would be THE go to app.

Extremely helpful!

As an emergency physician in a predominantly adult ER, this app is worth it's weight in gold. The sick kid isn't a problem for me. It's the critically ill child who presents through triage in distress and no one seemingly can find a Broslow. This scenario doesn't happen often (thankfully) but it does periodically. The app allows you to generate drug dosages via age or weight. This app is a must need for any practicing emergency physician!!

Great tool for ED/NICU providers

Utilizing this app in the ED as a practicing RN after one of the docs recommended it to me. Simple layout makes any pediatric critical care reference practical while working in a fast paced environment.

Overall, useful and fairly accurate pediatric therapy guide. BUT - beware the typo in "anaphylaxis." The max dose should be 1 mg, not 1mg/kg.

Even better!

I love the updated interface and new additions. It is even more useful now than before, whether you work in EMS, the ED, or ICU. I love being able to view the medications I need for a SPECIFIC condition, and not have to scroll through a long list of drugs or equipment sizes.

Update ruined it

I usually don't write reviews but I hope the developers see this and fix the app. Pedi star was great; all the info at your fingertips, drugs and equipment. After the update it is now written for medical students, interns, or nurses who aren't used to dealing with sick patients. The meds are listed within algorithms and in giant categories. It's too unwieldly to use in an emergency or on the way to one. It has far too much basic information in the way of the real information. This basic information is not the kind needed when seeing a sick kids. It gets in the way and if that's the info you need, you don't need pedi stat, you need another doctor.

Needs hypotension section

This is a great app - would give 5 stars if you could add a section for management of shock/hypotension with dosing for pressor drips like epi, norepi, dopa, etc.

Exceptional App

This app is quick, prompt, and accurate with most pediatric emergencies. I have used this for over three years now, and it is my #1 go to app for any sick kid. Plus, it is easy to navigate based on age, etc to get to where you want to be quickly. This single app is the reason I ALWAYS make sure my iTouch is charged and ready to go at my side.

Really?!?!

I find it very frustrating that a medical program written by a doctor has the opportunity to identify yourself as a "physician", "nurse" or even a "dietician" but do not have the option of "nurse practitioner" or "physician assistant". Really?!?!

Great app for EMS

Great app for any EMT or Paramedic, get the information on the way to the cal, age normally, and you will have every drug calculation needed to run any critical pediatric.
I do have one issue, the age stops at 12 and the weight ends at 43kg.

Great!!!

This is a fantastic program to help you manage the sick / crashing kid. It is not an all encompassing pediatric drug reference. A few antibiotics can be remembered, and anything else can be looked up. This gives you quick access to what you don't have time to look up, and does the critical calculations for you. This is not going to be the only pediatric reference you will ever need, but it is the one that will really help you out in a bind!!!!

Had a critically ill 2yo in ED last night, and found this incredibly useful, particularly during RSI. Would highly recommend for any health professional who potentially will be caring for sick kids.

I have always respected Dr. Kempema's clinical judgement and ability to respond to critical situations. He has taken my confidence in his knowledge even farther with the creation of this App. Working at an adult Level 1 trauma center, it is rare that we get critical children. Second guessing your dosing of lifesaving medications is the last stress you need. Pedi Stat makes it so simple and takes away the anxiety over medication dosing. As a mom, I have even used the App for over the counter medications, such as Benadryl. What a great reference to have at my fingertips! This App is for ALL medical staff!!!

Great for quick med doses

This is a great app to use in ED setting, when a critical child comes in and you need to know the doses of RSI drugs for ordering, without having to try and wrestle with the broslow tape in a crowded trauma bay. Many ways to select your dosing (age, wt, height, broslow tape guide). Very nice color coding for RSI medication categories. Also gives source equation and ranges for dosing, to allow MD discretion in selecting dose. I recommend this for all ED docs!

Great app for critical peds management - thank you!

As a practicing EM attending of 10 years, I feel compelled to write this review today. This morning I had a seizing baby arrive that was difficult to manage and this app kept me calm. I downloaded it a few weeks ago, liked the UI and hadn't used until this morning. A good medical app allows you to open it when you need it and quickly obtain critical information. This app fit the bill - flawless when needed most. PLEASE don't bloat it down with junk that I don't need....keep it as is.

Could be better

It is a nice reference and has some nice features. Would be a nice tool for the savvy new grad pedi nurse.
I don't like the fact that the weight limit is 43kg. That is not useful when many patients are heavier than that. There are also many spelling errors too.
PediatricRN4
2010-03-16

the Best Pedi App! Way to go!

I've used this and several other pedi apps. This is by far the best. The ability to get patient information by weight, age, or length is critical in cases when the weight isn't the only value known. And on top of that, the organization in this app makes it very easy to find what I'm looking for. The other apps are lacking these features, and so I would definitely recommend this over any other pedi app. This one is great!
RogerDodgerMd
2010-03-16

A must have

This is my favorite medical app. During a peds code the other day I was able to focus on the patient instead of having to calculate drug dosages, ET tube sizes, etc. I recommend this app to all medical providers dealing with peds.
ED MD

Nice app, few too many steps

content is good...but it just seems to take too long to find what i need. too many steps...I stopped using it once I downloaded a different pedi app that had the info I needed in a better format.

Outstanding
Period!
I have multiple medical software apps on my phone but only this one actually is invaluable to my practice. It saved my butt during a hectic code the other day. All the Pedi EM residents in our teaching center use it as well as most of the house staff. The recent updates make this software even better.

I am an RN in a busy emergency room. This app is great for me! We see pedi pts but not that many, so when I need information quickly, this app is perfect. Any life saving treaments are right at my fingertips and I dont have to calculate doses! That is a huge plus for me! It is very in depth and I have even shown in to all of the paramedics that come in because it would be great to use on scene. It's like PALS on my phone...but easier! A portable broselow! I love it!

I have had this app since it's inception. It is just awesome! Easy to use/navigate, comprehensive and accurate. I am a flight nurse on a busy EMS helicopter and utilize it often. I agree that the 1 star review with the word "worthless" requires specifics from the writer otherwise I question the motivation and or knowledge of this individual in this arena...

Great app for pedi. Generic names for the drugs would be helpful. When not dealing with peds all the time the app is a must have. As useful as the pedi wheel.

Terrific!

As an orthopaedic surgeon, I am not in the habit of intubating too many kids, but I do operate on them. This app is absolutely terrific. It's great in the post op setting for my patients' pain management needs. This app is an absolute must for any surgeon who operates on kids.

Great app

I have worked in Pediatrics/ICU before and now work in my local ED. This app is really great. In addition, it contains an inadvertent typo which gave me a much-needed laugh. In one of the screens the term "broncospasm" is used instead of "bronchospasm." Given that the context for the word conjured up a bucking horse, I'd say the slip of the keyboard/spellchecker completely fits the type of patient one would be using a paralytic agent on!

Highly Intuitive in Stressful Situations

As a pediatric nurse I often find myself in need of information that can be difficult to obtain quickly. Often I am required to remember large quantities of information that specifically pertain to the age and/or weight of a child in care. This app makes it simple to understand exactly what's needed and when. The user interface is extremely well thought-out, thereby completely eliminating my initial learning curve. Definitely worth the 3 bucks I paid for this. One of the best medical apps I have for my iPhone.
