Pedi Stat App Reviews

I’m an ER doc. This app is not useful. Each topic is too compartmentalized. Not simple to find things you need.

The updated app again does not include weight based dose for reversal (glyco and neo) which seems like a large omission for the app.

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.

Great app. Very easy to use, great for emergency care.

Very useful for treating kids in high pressure situations with precision. Very easy application to use.

Awesome app. Everything you need in pedi EM.

Great app! Accurate calculations. Will be used frequently.

This is by far the best program of its kind. Intuitive, accurate, complete, and incredibly easy to use. This is essential for anyone taking care of kids in emergent situations. No more flipping through the Pharmacopoeia in a panic!!

Great app. Used it in a code the other day

One of the easiest apps to navigate. If you want your answers fast, this is the one for you.

Easy to use interface. Recommend this to anyone & everyone who takes care of peds patients. One of the best medical apps in ye iTunes store, wish the dev make one for adult patients too!

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!

Of great use for an emergency physician

I am a pals instructor and I use this app often as a supplement to other information. For example, nothing on the broselow tape for Benadryl but we can find it on Pedi STAT. Easy to use! Students often download the app right class!

Thankfully I’ve never had to actually use this app (so far) other than in scenarios but as a Paramedic I recommend anyone in emergency services have this on their phone. The information is displayed really well and is very easy to get to when time matters.

I’m a firefighter / Paramedic, I’ve been using this app for 4 years. I look up pedi doses enroute to calls so once arrive I know shocking Jules and cardiac drugs. Then by that time the broslow tape is out. Then use that. I use also for quick reference on vital signs. Highly recommended the app.

This is my go to for anything Pedi!!

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.

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

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!

For cardiac resuscitation

This app is well done!! I love that it gives me one-dose calculations for my patients without having to fumble with numbers. It is a superb update to a well-loved classic!

Great app. Like the simplicity of being able to calculate doses before a critical child arrives to the ER.

I work in both the ER & Burn ICU and we get a lot of kids, especially toddlers. This is a great app! Very useful & easy to use. I love that by entering weight everything is calculated out for you. Very time saving.

Exceptional app, use it for every pediatric flight. However, besides the drug dosages in mg's listed, I wish this app listed the mL's and the standard dose concentrations for meds. It would just make that one step quicker for healthcare personnel to not have to calculate mg-ml in an emergency.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent resource, easy to use

Absolutely a very good app. It would be great if there was antibiotics.

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?!?!

I work in a busy Level One Trauma center and this app is a great resource for when we get kids in. Makes life much easier

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.

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.

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!!!!

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!

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!

Please start to create iPad versions of your apps..... Thanks

Now I don't have to fear critical pees patients. All the information is right at my fingertips! It's a great app to have!

Awesome app Would it be possible to include Pressor support : EPi, NorEpi, etc Platelet and PRBC dosing Hydrocortisone bolus for shock

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.

The functionality Within the program is very user friendly and instinctual. The program is acurrate, thorough, and extremely user friendly. Can't wait for adult version to come out!!

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.

This is a very helpfull app. The only thing that i would add is antibiotics and other drugs.

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.

Outstanding App ! As a flight nurse who constantly deals with time sensitive cases, this app allows you to get the answers you need FAST ! A colleague of mine challenged me to mock scenarios, he had a Braslo tape, I had the App, in the end, he paid for the latte ! Nice work James (o: John McKenna RN CTRN CFRN

Great for emergency physicians who need a quick reference. Great for learners, too!

Excellent App. This is a must have tool for EMS providers and emergency medicine practitioners. Very easy to navigate and resourceful. Highly recommended.

Wonderful app.! Clear, quick and to the point. Very helpful to everyone treating children, especially in the ER.

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!!!

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!!

As someone who primarily works with adults, pedi stat is a real life-saver (literally)

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.

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.

Everyone who works with kids will find this app useful. The interface is clean and very easy to use. This sure beats remembering formulas and carrying reference cards or pocket books. Download this app now!!! You won't regret it.

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!

I think the easy of use makes this app useful both in the field and at the bedside. Lots of cool options and info at the click of your finger! ........regardless of what letters come after my name!

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.

Outstanding Period! I have multiple medical software apps on my phone but only this one actually is invaluable to my practice. It saved my b*** 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.

Great app saves time and brain damage when double checking yourself or just in a pinch. Wonderful app keep up the good updates.

THE BEST EMERGENCY MEDICINE 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.
