PICUCalc is the clinical calculator for the whole team caring for children: pediatricians, residents, nurses, emergency and critical care clinicians, and medical students. Enter the weight once and get doses, infusions, antibiotics and scores in seconds, even offline. PATIENT Enter weight, age and height once: BMI, body surface area (Mosteller) and maintenance fluids (Holliday-Segar) are calculated automatically and feed the rest of the app. INFUSIONS 43 drugs with weight-based preparation and rate: vasoactives, sedation, analgesia, neuromuscular blockade and more. Peripheral-line dilution for the 6 classic vasopressors. N-acetylcysteine with both protocols. 3/6/9 % hypertonic saline from 20 % NaCl. ANTIBIOTICS 60+ antimicrobials with daily dose, dose per administration, maximum dose and automatic renal adjustment across 4 renal function bands (based on Nelson's Pediatric Antimicrobial Therapy). Indication-specific dosing. SCORES (40+) Sepsis and severity: Phoenix, PODIUM, PELOD-2, PRISM III, VIS and sepsis phenotypes. Respiratory: Westley, Wood-Downes-Ferres, PRAM, asthma and bronchiolitis phenotypes. GI and liver: PELD, MELD/MELD-Na, PUCAI, STRONGkids. Emergency: PECARN, ESI, JumpSTART. Plus neurology, rheumatology, renal (KDIGO), sedation-analgesia and delirium. CALCULATORS Blood gases (Henderson-Hasselbalch and Stewart), oxygen delivery, ROX, OI, P/F, S/F, GFR, renal angina index, sodium and total body water, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, dengue fluid management (PAHO/WHO) and lactate.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Sala ERApp at Free against PICUCalc's $4.99. Sala ERApp also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). PICUCalc's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and chart position (#136 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
