PHENOMENAL

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pedi STAT is hands-down one of my favorite pediatric emergency resources. As an ER nurse I recommend it constantly. When you’re caring for a sick or injured child, there is no time for complicated calculations or digging through references. Pedi STAT puts the information you need right at your fingertips.

It’s fast, intuitive, practical, and clearly designed by people who understand what pediatric emergency care actually looks like at the bedside. Weight-based medications, dosing, equipment sizes, vital signs, resuscitation information, it’s all right there when seconds matter.

This is one of those apps I genuinely believe every emergency department and clinician caring for pediatric patients should know about. An incredible resource for improving pediatric readiness and helping clinicians feel more confident caring for kids. Five stars without hesitation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Helpful

I like this app, and it has been useful for me in the field. I have one complaint and that is that the dosages for meds given are different depending on where the provider is located. I am located in Massachusetts and I have noticed some discrepancies. Where are these dosages applicable to?

Thank you for the review! Please let us know if you have suggestions for further improvements!

Have to pay extra for oral dosing?

App looks solid on first review. However, having to join a subscription to get quick references for oral antibiotic dosing is frustrating. Should be a disclaimer on the description.

Great app - slow booting up

This is a great app but using it in EMS can be less than ideal as it takes 30 seconds to load almost every time. Is this being looked into?

Thanks for the review and support of the app! We have connected the app to a database so updated medications and dosing will be reflected immediately on the app and not be dependent on a complete app update. We’re aware of the current lag in connecting to the database and will have a fix released shortly. Thanks again for the support and let us know any further suggestions for improvements!

Slow to open

Older version was 5 stars, I could rely on it working 100% of the time. This latest version takes too long to open and requires good internet connectivity which isn’t always possible. Can no longer rely on it when I need it.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. Pedi STAT is now connected to an online database, allowing it be updated with the current evidence-based recommendations. We are continuing to work on this interface, and anticipate any updates to the app to happen nearly instantaneously as we improve this connection.

App no longer starts

Whenever the app is started, it stays stuck on a loading screen! It is now unusable.

The go-to for Peds EM

Nearly everyone I know in my emergency department has this app and for good reason: Simple and intuitive UI with all the info you need for any truly sick kid that rolls into the ED. A must for any EM provider

Updates should be prompt

Love this app! Use it regularly. My only issue is that I work in a low resource environment and don’t have internet access at point of care. Now when I start the app it hangs because it can’t check if the database is up to date. I appreciate that updates are important but it would be better if it was an optional prompt (do you want to check for updates) vs an automatic thing as in an emergency restarting the app and trying to get internet access take precious time away from the case at hand. Or if the updates were pushed as app updates that would be good as well.

Thank you for the review! We are currently working on the design for an adult version of the app. We don't have a launch date yet, but are excited about what we are developing. If you have any particular suggestions for content, please notify us at contact@Pedi-STAT.com

Great reference

Only thing I really suggest the developers look at are the new NRP guidelines and recommendations for neonatal dosing. Hope that helps!!!

Thank you for the review. We wanted to update you that we are currently working on adding NRP guidelines into the app! It should be available to you in the very near future-

The only App I have ever used

I got this app when it was still free! This app is the only app I have ever used. I worked at a extremely busy level 1 trauma hospital!! After just a couple of codes staff was wondering what I was using on my phone. Pretty much every Attending and resident before I left had this loaded on their phone! As a nurse I wouldn’t want to run a code without someone using this for a reference or a double check. It also comes in handy for the little things like antipyretics, and even vital signs! I’m retired now and still use it as a quick reference for those friends with little ones.

Love this app!

This is my go to pediatric application and I recommend it regularly. It gives you quick and easy access to dosages tailored to your patient without having to do math in the middle of an emergency. One click and the answer is at your fingertips. A little pricey but totally worth it!

PO Antibiotics

Just downloaded this app only to find there’s no options/recommendations for PO antibiotics?? I know this app is designed with ER physicians in mind, but certainly there are times when even they send patients home on PO antibiotics. I think that would really make this app much more complete and helpful for those of us in family medicine, urgent care, etc. Otherwise great app and very user friendly.

Thank you this feedback. This is actually something we are currently working on. There are a few challenges to this considering the range of recommended doses for different conditions, as well as variable concentrations, suspension vs. tablets, etc. Regardless, we’re working on a viable solution and hope to have it implemented soon. Thanks again and please let us know any other suggestions for additions or improvements.

Excellent Peds Resource

This is a must have app for any provider (physician, nurse, tech) who works in a pediatric setting. It’s very user friendly, quick to access and manipulate to find what you need, and accurate to patient care. If you’re looking for an app that will help guide your care and answer quick questions regarding dosages or weight/age-based management, this is the app for you. 100% worth the purchase & download!

Awesome ED resource

This is a great resource to have available for paediatric emergencies in the ED/ICU. Many of my colleagues use this app regularly for our peds patients.
I wish we could search by drug name though, as I don’t always know what category to look under to find a medication.

The Best Peds quick reference app out there

I have tried out every app out there for peds EM dosing and Pedi STAT is truly the best. So easy to navigate, use, and really my lifeline during peds codes/critical cases. I recommend it to all our EM and Peds residents at my institution to use.

Great App for Emergency Medicine

I always get stuck on Pediatric dosing when I’m working through pediatric Simulation cases. I used this app on my friend’s phone and was pleasantly surprised at how quick, simple, and easy it is to use. I can confidently say that this app was the easiest to use when compared to competitors that I’ve also tried in other pediatric cases. I’m very excited to now have this app and continue using it as I continue growing in my career!

Très utile

Intéressant en complement de Calped (équivalent français gratuit) pour l’urgence / réanimation pédiatrique.

Attention toutefois, bien que plus complet et avec une meilleure interface que Calped, la pharmacopée et les recommandations US ne sont pas exactement les mêmes qu’en France...
