Pedi-Anesth is a valuable addition to the textbook "A Practice of Anesthesia for Infants and Children" by Charles J. Coté, Jerrold Lerman, and Brian Anderson. This user-friendly iPhone app provides a wealth of clinical information for practitioners in the field of pediatric anesthesia.

The app features a quick drug calculator that covers a wide range of pediatric anesthesia and critical care medications, including antibiotics, sedatives, and local anesthetics. It also provides guidance on managing emergency situations such as anaphylaxis, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, difficult airway algorithms, and malignant hyperthermia. Additionally, the app includes diagrams of major congenital heart lesions along with anesthesia-related management bullet points.

Pedi-Anesth goes beyond just drug calculations and emergency management. It also offers guidelines for blood component therapy, dosing of inotropes, diagnosis and management of diabetes insipidus, and recommendations for endotracheal tube size based on age. The app promises regular updates every 6 months, ensuring access to the latest data, tables, and diagrams.

This advanced app is a must-have for pediatric anesthesiologists, providing them with a comprehensive and up-to-date resource at their fingertips.
