### 5/5 — Great Reference

*2019-10-03*

This is a fantastic tool to help emergency medical providers get dosing and equipment sizes right. The developers are highly responsive to your needs and the application is very customizable.

### 5/5 — Best emergency medical treatment app

*2019-03-17*

Check the dose is kind of mind boggling in how well it is laid out and how easily one can navigate from a patient complaint and weight to treatments, med dosages and protocols pertinent to that patient and complaint.

As well, the app specified all weight based dosages and the specific mL dose, based on concentration. Invaluable in critical pediatric calls.

And, it has a feature to call hospitals and route to the ED, right from the app.
Phenomenal.
