## Description

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.

## Review summary

Users praise Pediatric Emergency Guide as a fast, lifesaving on-scene reference with more information than Broslow and strong EMS/flight usefulness. However, multiple reviews complain about a lack of timely updates: iOS 11 compatibility issues and outdated PALS/AHA references reduce usability. Some users also report missing drugs for anesthesia. Ongoing maintenance and up-to-date guidelines are essential to preserve its value.

### Pros

- Quick and easy on-scene reference for pediatric emergencies; lifesaving potential.
- More comprehensive information than Broslow; improves dosing/equipment decisions on the fly.
- Highly regarded; described as one of the best pediatric apps.
- Useful for EMS/flight clinicians; reliable on the scene.

### Cons

- iOS 11 compatibility issues; app stops working on updated iOS without an update.
- Outdated PALS/AHA references; needs updating to 2020/2021 guidelines.
- Incomplete drug library for anesthesia; lacks commonly used pediatric anesthesia drugs.
