## What is STABLEize?

In addition to The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program Module Guidelines: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood pressure, Lab work, Emotional support for the family, this app includes a BONUS menu of 22 severe cardiac anomalies to increase understanding of how blood flows through the heart in the setting of ductal dependent and not ductal dependent congenital heart disease (CHD). 

- 4 calculators: corrected gestational age, temperature converter (Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice-versa), umbilical artery and venous catheter insertion depth, weight converter (grams to pounds/ounces and vice-versa). 
- Under Cardiac Anomalies you’ll find animations and information on 22 severe forms of congenital heart disease. The MP4 videos demonstrate how blood flows through the heart with the various forms of CHD, and for ductal-dependent lesions, the severe impact of ductal closure on blood flow. Other animations feature normal heart anatomy, hypercyanotic (tet) spell, and balloon atrial septostomy (Rashkind procedure). Also included are illustrations of palliative procedures (PDA stent, balloon valvuloplasty, BT shunt, RVOT stent, central shunt, pulmonary artery band).

STABLE stands for the 6 assessment and care modules in the program: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, BP, Lab work, Emotional support. This app includes the following items:

- Sugar module: General Guidelines for sick infants and infants at increased risk for hypoglycemia, IV treatment of a blood sugar less than 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L), useful information about umbilical catheters and actions to correct umbilical artery catheter malpositions.
- Temperature module: General Guidelines (hypothermic classifications, monitoring, rewarming after accidental hypothermia), and neuroprotective hypothermia checklist and neurologic exam.
- Airway module: monitoring guidelines, respiratory distress descriptions, endotracheal tube sizes and insertion depth, blood gas evaluation, signs of a pneumothorax, and treatment of a pneumothorax.
- Blood pressure module: assessment for shock and treatment of shock, including how to mix dopamine hydrochloride to constitute an 800 microgram/mL IV fluid solution.
- Lab work module: risk factors for neonatal infection, clinical signs of infection, and laboratory evaluation prior to transport to an intensive care unit. How to calculate the absolute neutrophil count and immature to total ratio.
- Emotional support for the family module: the various emotions that parents may be experiencing and how to help families who are experiencing the crisis of a sick newborn.

The Cardiac Anomalies menu includes short descriptions and MP4 videos and illustrations for:

- Normal Heart and Lungs
- Aortic Valve Stenosis
- Atrial septal defect
- Atrioventricular canal
- Coarctation of aorta
- Double outlet right ventricle
- Ebstein anomaly
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- Interrupted aortic arch – type B

### 5/5 — Best NICU Nurse App

*2026-06-23, version 1.1.2*

I use this app every single day when I’m at work. From the cardiac defects to the calculators, this is a great resource worth every penny! Thank you, Kris Karlsen and team!

### 5/5 — Great resource!!

*2025-04-09, version 1.1.2*

Review of cardiac lesions with animations is incredibly helpful clinically!

### 5/5 — Great educational app

*2023-03-29, version 1.0.44*

This is an amazing educational app! The cardiac section is a great resource to be able to visualize the common cardiac defects. I love that I can pull up the app to discuss ECHO results with parents at the bedside. It’s a great resource to have.

### 5/5 — Essential Tool at the bedside

*2023-03-25*

This app is a must for anyone taking care of babies! All of the STABLE elements are summarized in the module headings, and the calculators are just what you need in the moment. The cardiac animations are incredible!! Seeing the normal heart beating side-by-side with the abnormal heart has been the best teaching tool I’ve ever used. Parents understand their baby’s heart problem so much easier, and the new nurses and residents learn so much faster by seeing these heart animations.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2021-11-19, version 1.0.26*

This is a resourceful app for NICU nurses and providers. However, the cardiac images do not all load properly, especially the pages with two images. Hope they fix it soon.

### 5/5 — Best App

*2021-10-13, version 1.0.26*

I never rate apps; however, this app is fantastic- I am a NICU nurse and L & D nurse. This app is 100% accurate with current guidelines and extremely helpful and easy to use. I have recommended for all my coworkers. It is easy for quick reference even in emergency cases! If u work in OB or pediatrics- get this app. It will help. Each link is detailed with information broken down in sections with easy to understand pictures as well. I would even recommend for neonatologists, pediatricians and OB GYNs.

### 5/5 — Excellent Resource

*2021-06-19, version 1.0.26*

This app is extremely straightforward to use and is a perfect pocket resource for general guidelines for the care of premature newborns. The graphics are absolutely incredible and all of the information is literally lifesaving. This is a must buy for all medical professionals! I can’t recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-05-16, version 1.0.18*

This is such a great app with so many resources at my fingertips. It is worth every penny. I can’t wait to use the cardiac anomalies section to help educate parents.

### 5/5 — Amazing resource for neonatal care!

*2021-05-11, version 1.0.0*

Wow I have nothing but amazing things to say about this APP!! A truly amazing resource to ensure quality neonatal care to the tiniest of patients! A great resource for teaching families as well! Worth every penny!!
