Confidence During Pediatric Emergencies! The Pedi-Wheel is a convenient pocket reference tool that puts vital pediatric data at your fingertips. This sturdy, full-color, water resistant device provides virtually all of the information you will need to successfully perform during a pediatric emergency. An incredibly valuable reference for medical professionals and students because we've compiled volumes of vital pediatric information into this slide chart that is only the size of a compact disc. The Pedi-Wheel is perfect for every day use or as a study aid. Turn the dial to your patient's age on one side and the following information appears in the window: average weight, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, suggested sizes for ET tubes and laryngoscope blades, as well as the average length of a properly inserted ET tube at the teeth or gum line. Age categories range from premie to 16 years-old. Flip the Pedi-Wheel over and turn the dial to the patient's weight between 2 and 75 kilograms. Pre-calculated dosages for the most common emergency medications immediately appear. The Pedi-Wheel contains information on 14 emergency meds, fluid resuscitation, defibrillation and cardioversion and conforms to Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support guidelines. It even has a special pediatric burn table to help you accurately calculate percentage of body surface burned. Information on eight other emergency medications, synchronized cardioversion energy, asynchronous defibrillation energy, and recommended fluid resuscitation volumes are also displayed for your reference on side two. Additional medications referenced are: albuterol, calcium chloride, dextrose 25%, diphenhydramine, epinephrine dosages for bradycardia, furosemide, morphine, and sodium bicarbonate. This sturdy, full-color wheel is water resistant and fits perfectly in your pocket, clipboard, drug box, or crash cart. Ideal for paramedics, EMT's, nurses, physicians, students, or anyone in the medical field that deals with pediatrics. Diameter is 4-5/8 inches round.
