CRASHCARDS PEDIATRIC RESUSCITATION, 2nd ed., CrashCards, Inc., 2002
If you work with pediatrics, whether as a doctor, a paramedic, a nurse, or a pharmacist, whether on an EMS rescue unit, on a pediatric nursing unit, in an ER, or on a surgical nursing unit, you will find this a NEW, IMPROVED pediatric resource that you can count on.
CrashCards are quick and easy to use (even if you are a paramedic in the back of an EMS rescue unit).
You can have the correct dosing available in seconds. Bright and easily readable, this pediatric medical reference lists emergency medications in easy-to-see precalculated medication tables according to the weight of the child in pounds and kilograms. Color-coded, the tables can be used as an adjunct to a tape system. It's organized for quick access and uses rich color coding to make it easy to find the medications appropriate for the child's age and weight.
Created with speed and accuracy in mind, CrashCards™ Pediatric Emergency Resuscitation Guide is the new pediatric life support guide that combines the information provided in pediatric courses with the usefulness of a pocket-sized tool. More than a measuring device, CrashCards allows you to have useful practical complete information in your pocket. Color-coded easy-to-read tables make CrashCards useful alone or in conjunction with other pediatric tools. Be able to find the information you want without having to flip through extraneous information. Be ready for your next pediatric emergency. When there's no time for calculations, no room for error, there's CrashCards™.
