## What is Pediatric Emergency Guide?

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.

The updated version contains med-dosing within PALS algorithms, improved style, error corrections, a new improved menu screen, and clinical protocol section.

### 2/5 — Useless for anesthesia

*2020-01-21, version 3.1.3*

Might be ok for other specialties but useless for anesthesia. Doesn’t have commonly used drugs.  Forget it. Delete.

### 5/5 — This app literally saves lives

*2018-11-09, version 3.1.3*

So happy to see the blue card up and running again!!  I’ve used it several times on calls. I can take whatever info I have prior to arrival and write valuable information on my gloves for rapid review on scene. In my opinion it’s better than a braslow.  This app literally saves lives.
