Built by anesthesiologists for anesthesia professionals.

Published by iAnesthesia LLC

What PediSafe does for you

Everything a pediatric anesthetic needs, by weight

Three tools in one app, organized the way an anesthesia provider thinks.

  • Critical pathways

    Crisis checklists for anesthesia, designed to help ensure attention to every step in a STAT situation.

  • Weight-based reference

    Typical vital signs, airway equipment, tube sizes and fluid resuscitation for each Broselow-based weight class.

  • Case pearls

    An ever-growing collection of tips, set-up and reference material for pediatric patients in the OR or emergency department.

Weight classes

The whole child on one screen

Pick a weight class and see typical vital signs, airway equipment, tube sizes and fluids, with your own medications, infusions and notes alongside.

PediSafe 10 to 11 kg weight class: heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, tidal volume and endotracheal tube size, with options to add a medication, infusion or free text

Your formulary

All the medications you want, at the doses you use

Select a medication, enter the dose, and set the weight classes it applies to. The whole table is yours to tailor.

Critical pathways

A checklist for the moment you cannot afford to forget a step

Anaphylaxis, bradycardia, difficult airway, hemorrhage and more, each as a checklist you can run from the top.

Case pearls

Tips and set-up for the case in front of you

Knowing the anesthetic considerations for a procedure is indispensable. Case pearls help you plan and run a safe anesthetic for the child and the surgery.

  • Considerations by procedure

    The anesthetic issues that matter for the case, so the plan fits the patient’s physiology and the surgery.

  • Set-up and equipment

    Practical tips for the room before the child arrives.

  • Always growing

    Suggest a topic from inside the app; new pearls arrive with updates.

Does PediSafe replace clinical judgment?

No. PediSafe is a reference for licensed clinicians. It does not prescribe or make treatment decisions. Verify every dose and equipment size against current references, your institution’s protocols and the needs of the individual patient.
