PALS Copilot was designed by healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals. Pediatric code response can be a high stress situation and having a copilot to support quick decisions helps eliminate moments of uncertainty. Larger teams no longer need to tussle over who handles the pediatric emergency tape for medication dosing, and small teams can appreciate key features like timers to be alerted when additional doses are due. PALS Copilot takes Pediatric Advanced Life Support one step further in allowing for a patient specific weight to be used for automatic calculation of medication doses, shocks, and approximate equipment sizes. With straightforward displays and quick, user-friendly controls, PALS Copilot supports you and your team so you can focus on delivering the best patient care. Features: Weight based dosing options for patient specific medication dosing or color zones related to standard pediatric length-based tapes Automatically calculate medication doses and volumes for administration Timers with alerts to help track when additional medication doses or shocks are due Customizable drip concentrations to match your organizational standards Customizable notes for every medication or intervention to allow for your own key points and topics to remember Quick pounds to kilograms converter Additional content for RSI and post-ROSC fluids and medicated drips MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: This app is intended for informational purposes only, for use by professionals, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or seen in this app

About

Code Ready Pro

Code Ready Pro - Pediatric — the pediatric and neonatal code companion for trained emergency clinicians. When a child is crashing, you don't have time to page through a manual. Code Ready Pro - Pediatric puts the AHA PALS algorithms, the AAP/AHA Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), the ENA ENPC trauma primary survey, and the high-yield pediatric emergencies into fast, guided, citation-tracked walkthroughs — fully offline, on the device already in your pocket. LIVE CODE RUNNER A manual timing aid for pediatric cardiac arrest: code clock, 2-minute CPR cycle timer with rhythm-check alerts, epinephrine due/overdue reminders, shock and dose counters, and a timestamped event log for your debrief. Shockable and non-shockable pathways side by side, with the H's & T's one tap away. GUIDED ALGORITHMS Step-by-step walkthroughs for bradycardia, tachycardia (SVT vs VT), post-ROSC care, neonatal resuscitation (the Golden Minute, MR. SOPA, 3:1 compressions), pediatric trauma (A-B-C-D-E), anaphylaxis, status asthmaticus, status epilepticus, DKA, and croup — each step labeled, sourced, and written for recall under pressure. PUBLISHED DOSING TABLES A consolidated dosing reference of published per-kilogram rules with adult-maximum caps, plus weight-band tables that lay out the published values for every Broselow color zone — exactly like a printed length-based tape or code card, with the per-kg rule and source shown on every row. The app accepts no patient data and computes nothing: every value is static published reference material to verify against your length tape, pharmacy, and protocol. BUILT FOR THE BEDSIDE 100% offline — no account, no network, nothing tracked Every dose, step, and alert cites its source: AHA PALS, AAP/AHA NRP, ENA ENPC, ILCOR No patient data stored, ever Interface localized in 9 languages (clinical content stays in English to match the source guidelines) FOR LICENSED PROFESSIONALS ONLY Code Ready Pro - Pediatric is an educational quick-reference, not a medical device. It provides no diagnosis, no individualized treatment advice, and no dose calculation, and it never replaces your certification, code-team leader, Medical Command, or pharmacy verification. A professional-use disclaimer must be accepted on first launch. From the maker of Code Ready Pro, and Anesthesia Ready.
