Description

For more than 30 years, Frank Shann’s little booklet has helped physicians all around the world prescribe drugs to children. DrugDoses now contains more than 2150 entries. It lists every drug commonly prescribed for systemic use in both adults and children.

The iOS version of the booklet gives you an enormous amount of information, which will be updated yearly! You will therefore always have the latest drugs, which will only be available in the paper version in another year or two.

The iOS version has also lots of other features: more than 150 current laboratory values and a useful cardiology database.

DrugDoses also integrates PedCalc. It contains the most common pediatric scores and formulas:
- ASA score
- Alveolo-arterial gradient
- Anion gap
- Apgar score
- Blunt abdominal trauma score
- Body mass index
- Body surface area
- Corrected Ca
- Creatinine clearance - measured
- Creatinine clearance - estimated
- Endotracheal tube sizes
- FeNa
- Glasgow Coma Score
- Glasgow Outcome Scale
- Ideal Body Weight
- Maintenance fluids
- Mallampati
- NACA score
- Neonatal central lines
- Oxygen index

Usual good work

Very good piece of work, translated well from the Windows platform. The only thing lacking is the ability to put decimal points in the weight for calculations, there can be a big difference between a 4 and 4.5kg child. If that was to be addressed in the next update it would get 5 stars.

Useful but limited.

Shann's book Drug Doses is well known and admired throughout the world of PICU. This is a reasonable attempt to translate this to the iphone but it lacks the infusions compatibility table, values for ETT sizes and DC shock energy (not found under the Code Blue tab) and the useful notes pages (p89-96 in the current 14th Edition of Drug Doses) don't appear to feature at all. These omissions weaken what would otherwise be an excellent app. It's a shame this couldn't have been combined with the PICU Guidelines app to produce a truly first class PICU app.

Now very poor.

My opinion has now changed. Development appears to have stopped, there has been no implementation of the calculator, andinformation is very scanty. It is also very overpriced. I now recommend my trainees to get ePocrates whcih is free, informative and updated. A pity, but there you go.
