Product Description
Pediatric Anesthesia and Emergency Drug Guide is the first book to focus on the pediatric patient and discuss and list the milligram per kilogram dose range of each anesthetic drug, antibiotic, continuous IV drug infusions, local anesthetics and epidural/caudal pediatric guidelines. Designed as a quick index, the anesthesia care provider can locate common anesthetic drugs calculated both in milligrams and actual ml s to be drawn up for a specific kilogram weight, along with calculated intravenous fluids and endotracheal/LMA sizes. Also shown are calculated emergency drugs and weight specific cardio-pulmonary resuscitation guidelines including: chest compression to ventilation ratio, depth and rate of chest compression, synchronized cardioversion and defibrillation Joules, pulse check placement, and foreign body obstruction maneuvers. General guidelines for pediatric care are given including anesthetic setup, bradycardia guidelines, NPO guidelines, IV fluid replacement formulas, and hemoglobin and hematocrit normal values with blood replacement guidelines, estimated blood volumes and the allowable blood loss formula.

Superb Resource! July 27, 2009
Heather Winslow (Angier, NC)
This is one of the most practical, user-friendly resources available for CRNAs/SRNAs in the OR. It has been a life-saver for me as an SRNA when Pediatric cases were added to my room unexpectantly. It not only provides you with accurate, weight-based doses for the majority of medications you would give a pediatric patient, but it also gives you the calculated milliters for the drugs (check concentrations). Many CRNAs I have worked with have purchased this valuable resource after utilizing my copy. Add this to your OR bag...you will not be disappointed!
Most comprehensive Pediatric Anesthesia pocket guide! November 25, 2008
V. RAAVI (Apex, NC)
I believe that this is the most comprehensive, practical, concise pediatric pocket reference. I carry this valuable tool with me everyday of clinical experience. The book has info about all the possible drugs used in pediatric population, weight based dosages down to 250gm premie baby. I do wish that the font was a little larger for a better view. This pediatric pocket is an excellent pocket reference.
 Pediatric anesthesia and Emergency Drug Guide November 11, 2008
Kari Howie (Goldsboro, North Carolina)
Good info organized by child's age. It would be more convenient to have the two pages per each age placed so they face each other. That way you could leave the book open without flipping back and forth between pages. Also, the pages aren't laminated so you have to be careful about spills since this is the kind of book you bring into the OR with you and leave on top of your anesthesia cart during your pediatric cases.
Heads Up!!!! August 13, 2008

Heads up!! You need to have this pediatric guide in your possession when you're out battling the peds world. This is a fantastic, "flip-to-the-page" guide that instantly gives you EVERYTHING you want based on the peds weight. If I hear that my next case is a kid, I immediately pull out THIS guide. *****5 STARS to the author of this pocket manual!!

SRNA Must Have... August 6, 2008
F. Callaway
This pocket guide to pediatric anesthesia is an absolute must have, especially during my peds clinical rotation. It provides quick references to pediatric weights, drug dosages, ETT sizes, set-up, etc. all at your fingertips. There is also an abbreviated section on pediatric anomalies. Simply put, don't do pediatric anesthesia without it.
