Pedi STAT Customer Service

I’m an EM doc, have tried all the various paeds quick reference apps, for my purposes, i find this one easiest to use and most comprehensive for most “real world” applications. Many others are organized by cards for the patient weight with all i fo in one place. This is more what i was looking for, a weight-based reference that is organised by the symptom i am treating, helpful for everyday things like antipyretics and antiemetics, which i (fortunately) use more frequently in my practice than resuscitation medications in paeds (although these are also available and easy to reference in the app as well)

This is a must have app for any provider (physician, nurse, tech) who works in a pediatric setting. It’s very user friendly, quick to access and manipulate to find what you need, and accurate to patient care. If you’re looking for an app that will help guide your care and answer quick questions regarding dosages or weight/age-based management, this is the app for you. 100% worth the purchase & download!

I always get stuck on Pediatric dosing when I’m working through pediatric Simulation cases. I used this app on my friend’s phone and was pleasantly surprised at how quick, simple, and easy it is to use. I can confidently say that this app was the easiest to use when compared to competitors that I’ve also tried in other pediatric cases. I’m very excited to now have this app and continue using it as I continue growing in my career!

Just downloaded this app only to find there’s no options/recommendations for PO antibiotics?? I know this app is designed with ER physicians in mind, but certainly there are times when even they send patients home on PO antibiotics. I think that would really make this app much more complete and helpful for those of us in family medicine, urgent care, etc. Otherwise great app and very user friendly.

This is my go to pediatric application and I recommend it regularly. It gives you quick and easy access to dosages tailored to your patient without having to do math in the middle of an emergency. One click and the answer is at your fingertips. A little pricey but totally worth it!

I like this app, and it has been useful for me in the field. I have one complaint and that is that the dosages for meds given are different depending on where the provider is located. I am located in Massachusetts and I have noticed some discrepancies. Where are these dosages applicable to?

I’m a firefighter / Paramedic, I’ve been using this app for 4 years. I look up pedi doses enroute to calls so once arrive I know shocking Jules and cardiac drugs. Then by that time the broslow tape is out. Then use that. I use also for quick reference on vital signs. Highly recommended the app.

Thankfully I’ve never had to actually use this app (so far) other than in scenarios but as a Paramedic I recommend anyone in emergency services have this on their phone. The information is displayed really well and is very easy to get to when time matters.

I have tried out every app out there for peds EM dosing and Pedi STAT is truly the best. So easy to navigate, use, and really my lifeline during peds codes/critical cases. I recommend it to all our EM and Peds residents at my institution to use.

Missing a search function. If I know what medicine I need / want but just need a dose, I want to be able to search for the medicine instead of clicking through categories I think it might be in. Please give me a search functionality!!

I am a pals instructor and I use this app often as a supplement to other information. For example, nothing on the broselow tape for Benadryl but we can find it on Pedi STAT. Easy to use! Students often download the app right class!

Nearly everyone I know in my emergency department has this app and for good reason: Simple and intuitive UI with all the info you need for any truly sick kid that rolls into the ED. A must for any EM provider

Exceptional app, use it for every pediatric flight. However, besides the drug dosages in mg's listed, I wish this app listed the mL's and the standard dose concentrations for meds. It would just make that one step quicker for healthcare personnel to not have to calculate mg-ml in an emergency.

An essential app for pediatric calculations. When I’m on my way to a Ped patient this is my go-to quick reference. Great tool for cognitive off-loading.

Only thing I really suggest the developers look at are the new NRP guidelines and recommendations for neonatal dosing. Hope that helps!!!

This app is very helpful especially with medication dosages. Is there an adult version of this?

For those who treat sick kids infrequently

Best app money can buy (and its for free!). This app is the best quick pocket reference for emergency peds Meds ever!

This is my go to for anything Pedi!!

As a pediatric nurse I often find myself in need of information that can be difficult to obtain quickly. Often I am required to remember large quantities of information that specifically pertain to the age and/or weight of a child in care. This app makes it simple to understand exactly what's needed and when. The user interface is extremely well thought-out, thereby completely eliminating my initial learning curve. Definitely worth the 3 bucks I paid for this. One of the best medical apps I have for my iPhone.

As a practicing EM attending of 10 years, I feel compelled to write this review today. This morning I had a seizing baby arrive that was difficult to manage and this app kept me calm. I downloaded it a few weeks ago, liked the UI and hadn't used until this morning. A good medical app allows you to open it when you need it and quickly obtain critical information. This app fit the bill - flawless when needed most. PLEASE don't bloat it down with junk that I don't need....keep it as is.

I have always respected Dr. Kempema's clinical judgement and ability to respond to critical situations. He has taken my confidence in his knowledge even farther with the creation of this App. Working at an adult Level 1 trauma center, it is rare that we get critical children. Second guessing your dosing of lifesaving medications is the last stress you need. Pedi Stat makes it so simple and takes away the anxiety over medication dosing. As a mom, I have even used the App for over the counter medications, such as Benadryl. What a great reference to have at my fingertips! This App is for ALL medical staff!!!

I've used this and several other pedi apps. This is by far the best. The ability to get patient information by weight, age, or length is critical in cases when the weight isn't the only value known. And on top of that, the organization in this app makes it very easy to find what I'm looking for. The other apps are lacking these features, and so I would definitely recommend this over any other pedi app. This one is great!

This is a fantastic program to help you manage the sick / crashing kid. It is not an all encompassing pediatric drug reference. A few antibiotics can be remembered, and anything else can be looked up. This gives you quick access to what you don't have time to look up, and does the critical calculations for you. This is not going to be the only pediatric reference you will ever need, but it is the one that will really help you out in a bind!!!!

I am an RN in a busy emergency room. This app is great for me! We see pedi pts but not that many, so when I need information quickly, this app is perfect. Any life saving treaments are right at my fingertips and I dont have to calculate doses! That is a huge plus for me! It is very in depth and I have even shown in to all of the paramedics that come in because it would be great to use on scene. It's like PALS on my phone...but easier! A portable broselow! I love it!

As an emergency physician in a predominantly adult ER, this app is worth it's weight in gold. The sick kid isn't a problem for me. It's the critically ill child who presents through triage in distress and no one seemingly can find a Broslow. This scenario doesn't happen often (thankfully) but it does periodically. The app allows you to generate drug dosages via age or weight. This app is a must need for any practicing emergency physician!!

This app is quick, prompt, and accurate with most pediatric emergencies. I have used this for over three years now, and it is my #1 go to app for any sick kid. Plus, it is easy to navigate based on age, etc to get to where you want to be quickly. This single app is the reason I ALWAYS make sure my iTouch is charged and ready to go at my side.

I have worked in Pediatrics/ICU before and now work in my local ED. This app is really great. In addition, it contains an inadvertent typo which gave me a much-needed laugh. In one of the screens the term "broncospasm" is used instead of "bronchospasm." Given that the context for the word conjured up a bucking horse, I'd say the slip of the keyboard/spellchecker completely fits the type of patient one would be using a paralytic agent on!

I have had this app since it's inception. It is just awesome! Easy to use/navigate, comprehensive and accurate. I am a flight nurse on a busy EMS helicopter and utilize it often. I agree that the 1 star review with the word "worthless" requires specifics from the writer otherwise I question the motivation and or knowledge of this individual in this arena...

This is by far the best program of its kind. Intuitive, accurate, complete, and incredibly easy to use. This is essential for anyone taking care of kids in emergent situations. No more flipping through the Pharmacopoeia in a panic!!

As an orthopaedic surgeon, I am not in the habit of intubating too many kids, but I do operate on them. This app is absolutely terrific. It's great in the post op setting for my patients' pain management needs. This app is an absolute must for any surgeon who operates on kids.

Everyone who works with kids will find this app useful. The interface is clean and very easy to use. This sure beats remembering formulas and carrying reference cards or pocket books. Download this app now!!! You won't regret it.

Easy to use interface. Recommend this to anyone & everyone who takes care of peds patients. One of the best medical apps in ye iTunes store, wish the dev make one for adult patients too!

I think the easy of use makes this app useful both in the field and at the bedside. Lots of cool options and info at the click of your finger! ........regardless of what letters come after my name!

I work in both the ER & Burn ICU and we get a lot of kids, especially toddlers. This is a great app! Very useful & easy to use. I love that by entering weight everything is calculated out for you. Very time saving.

As an ED RN I use this app frequently, not just for really sick kids, where it's a must have, but for simple things like regular VS for a 3 year old. No resource is perfect but this one is as close as I've found.

Outstanding App ! As a flight nurse who constantly deals with time sensitive cases, this app allows you to get the answers you need FAST ! A colleague of mine challenged me to mock scenarios, he had a Braslo tape, I had the App, in the end, he paid for the latte ! Nice work James (o: John McKenna RN CTRN CFRN

Great app for any EMT or Paramedic, get the information on the way to the cal, age normally, and you will have every drug calculation needed to run any critical pediatric. I do have one issue, the age stops at 12 and the weight ends at 43kg.

Had a critically ill 2yo in ED last night, and found this incredibly useful, particularly during RSI. Would highly recommend for any health professional who potentially will be caring for sick kids.

Great app saves time and brain damage when double checking yourself or just in a pinch. Wonderful app keep up the good updates.

Very easy to navigate. Just the info you need and you do not have to navigate thru a bunch of stuff to find it.

This app is well done!! I love that it gives me one-dose calculations for my patients without having to fumble with numbers. It is a superb update to a well-loved classic!

I work in a busy Level One Trauma center and this app is a great resource for when we get kids in. Makes life much easier

Simple interface provides rapid access to critical data needed when managing a critically ill pediatric patient.

This is a great app but using it in EMS can be less than ideal as it takes 30 seconds to load almost every time. Is this being looked into?

This app has saved me and my crew so much time. It is a must have for all first responders.

Love this app! Use it regularly. My only issue is that I work in a low resource environment and don’t have internet access at point of care. Now when I start the app it hangs because it can’t check if the database is up to date. I appreciate that updates are important but it would be better if it was an optional prompt (do you want to check for updates) vs an automatic thing as in an emergency restarting the app and trying to get internet access take precious time away from the case at hand. Or if the updates were pushed as app updates that would be good as well.

This is a great resource to have available for paediatric emergencies in the ED/ICU. Many of my colleagues use this app regularly for our peds patients. I wish we could search by drug name though, as I don’t always know what category to look under to find a medication.

Amazing app and very intuitive. I wish I could plug in my local medical directives and have the app run the formula on those directives.

Hey I'm an Advanced Care Paramedic and love using this app, but should not it be updated to the new PALS 2015 guidelines?

If you take care of acutely sick children this app is a must have! I use it regularly.

Simple interface is great for rapid reference. Would be nice to have a search function to rapidly find an item without having to find the item’s category.

Emerg physician. Excellent content and very use friendly interface

Complete, easily accessible, extremely useful tool. Includes normal vital signs as well as all drug doses/equipment sizes. Broselow in your pocket. Won't give you algorithms, but has things set up according to PALS so you know where to look in a pinch. Just download it... the next pediatric code you run will be much better for it.

Must have for any nurse or np in clinical settings! Used it this week with dosing for child having seizure! It's a great tool.

Phenomenal app. Incredibly user friendly and intuitive. The interface should be the gold standard for emergency medical reference apps!

As a critical care flight paramedic I think that this program is a fantastic reference tool. Good application to the advanced, basic care, and land paramedic.

Great for quick dosing when a resus arrives with only the age known. It could include an antibiotic or "custom" drug section where you could add other drugs to make it a little more usable outside crisis situations.

As an Advanced Life Support Paramedic this app has been great! Recently two 3 mo Arrests, multiple seizures and a couple traumas. Dial it in put it beside the child and my partner and I can dial up what we need to give and confirm our calculations. Significantly reduced stressful calls. Hope they keep improving an already excellent app!! And they just did!

Tons of useful information, very easy to use. Great app for the price!

I just found this amazing APP. I am doctor who works closly with EMTs and is regurlarly on call. This app is extremely intuitive. I will be recommending this to my colleagues. Thanks!

App looks solid on first review. However, having to join a subscription to get quick references for oral antibiotic dosing is frustrating. Should be a disclaimer on the description.

Whenever the app is started, it stays stuck on a loading screen! It is now unusable.

I’m an ER doc. This app is not useful. Each topic is too compartmentalized. Not simple to find things you need.

The updated app again does not include weight based dose for reversal (glyco and neo) which seems like a large omission for the app.

I usually don't write reviews but I hope the developers see this and fix the app. Pedi star was great; all the info at your fingertips, drugs and equipment. After the update it is now written for medical students, interns, or nurses who aren't used to dealing with sick patients. The meds are listed within algorithms and in giant categories. It's too unwieldly to use in an emergency or on the way to one. It has far too much basic information in the way of the real information. This basic information is not the kind needed when seeing a sick kids. It gets in the way and if that's the info you need, you don't need pedi stat, you need another doctor.

It is a nice reference and has some nice features. Would be a nice tool for the savvy new grad pedi nurse. I don't like the fact that the weight limit is 43kg. That is not useful when many patients are heavier than that. There are also many spelling errors too.

Older version was 5 stars, I could rely on it working 100% of the time. This latest version takes too long to open and requires good internet connectivity which isn’t always possible. Can no longer rely on it when I need it.

This update disables dark mode instead of supporting it properly. Edit— I think part of the problem is the developers are focusing their efforts on maintaining iOS 12 support, even though less than 7% of users are on iOS 12. That kind of thing uses a lot of coding and testing time that could be spent implementing modern features like Dark Mode.

Why did you change the icon to that ugly purple thing? I was so used to seeing the colourful icon that I could find the App rapidly. Now I was wondering what happened to my app. When you need the information fast you don't have time to futz around looking for the App.

The app works flawlessly. Just update it with retina support. Retina displays came out a year ago now, your still making money off this app at $2.99 on sale. Your programmer can afford to do an update. It's now THE only app on my phone without retina support which makes it the ugliest app on my phone. fix that and you'll get a 5 from me.

I was recommended this app by a coworker. After briefly browsing through the app I encountered several medication spelling errors. I have to admit I find it hard to rely on an app that can't even spell med names correctly. Wish it were more trustworthy!
