Pedi-STAT is a rapid reference for RNs, paramedics, physicians and other healthcare professionals caring for pediatric patients in the emergency or critical care environment. ************************************ Reviews ************************************ Among "The Best Drug Reference Apps for Emergency Physicians" - Emergency Physicians Monthly 5 STARS - "Simple interface provides rapid access to critical data needed when managing a critically ill pediatric patient" 5 Stars - "Very useful for treating kids in high pressure situations with precision." ***************************** Pedi-STAT features include: - Rapid results for airway interventions including endotracheal tube sizes, depth, intubation medication dosages, ventilator settings, and sedation - Cardiac resuscitation data including weight specific dosages for resuscitation medications, cardioversion, and defibrillation - Access to age and weight specific pediatric equipment including foley catheters, airway management, chest and NG tubes, peripheral and central line sizes, and more - Seizure medication dosages - Management of hypoglycemia including age specific dextrose concentrations - Reference of age specific normal vital signs - Procedural sedation dosages including single dose meds and infusions, as well as reversal agents - Calculated pain management medications - Medical management of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis Users can quickly access critical information accurately, without having to rely on memory or cumbersome textbooks. With just a few taps, users have access to all the necessary data to care for a pediatric patient in the emergent setting, including weight-based and age specific medication dosages and equipment sizes. Since many of the patients present with minimal known information, all the results can be calculated rapidly with only a known age, date-of-birth, weight, length, or height. Simply enter the known variable and the data is instantly calculated. Developed by an Emergency Physician, this app minimizes the risk of medical errors allowing the provider to spend more time caring for the patient, and less time looking up and calculating doses. It is a critical companion for any physician, nurse, paramedic, or medical trainee involved in the care of critically ill pediatric patients.

Read full description

Infusion Ready is an offline decision-support tool for licensed critical-care clinicians who plan and administer continuous IV infusions. It helps you answer three bedside questions fast: 1. Can these two infusions share the same IV line? 2. Given everything this patient is ordered, what is the fewest number of safe IV lines — and which drips go together? 3. Which drips must run on a dedicated line of their own? HOW IT WORKS - Browse a catalog of common ICU/ED continuous infusions — vasopressors, inotropes, vasodilators, antiarrhythmics, sedation and analgesia, paralytics, anticoagulants, electrolytes, and more — each with standard concentrations and line/safety notes. - Add pharmacy-compounded or non-standard "custom" infusions specific to your unit. - Quick Pair Check gives a clear Y-site verdict for any two infusions. - The Line Planner takes everything a patient is ordered and groups it into the fewest IV lines where every infusion sharing a line is documented compatible with every other, isolating dedicated-line drugs automatically. CONSERVATIVE BY DESIGN Infusion Ready only places two infusions together when the data affirmatively says they are compatible. Where no reliable Y-site data exists, it reports "No data" and keeps them on separate lines — so it may suggest MORE lines than strictly necessary, never fewer. It will never knowingly combine a pair documented as incompatible. DATA SOURCES Compatibility data is curated from widely used injectable-drug references (Trissel's Handbook on Injectable Drugs, King Guide to Parenteral Admixtures, Micromedex IV Index). It is intentionally conservative and not an exhaustive reproduction of any reference. IMPORTANT Infusion Ready is decision-support only. It is not a medical device, not a dosing calculator, and not a substitute for your pharmacist, the ordering provider, institutional protocols, or your clinical judgment. Concentration, diluent, and rate all affect real-world compatibility. Always confirm with your pharmacy before co-administering infusions. PRIVACY Fully offline. No accounts, no tracking, no network requests, no patient data. Custom infusions are stored only on your device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is chart position: Pedi STAT at #4 against Infusion Ready's #195. Pedi STAT also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0).
