Peds PALS Dosage Scanner is the only app that measures the child and provides the weight, defibrillation levels, and equipment sizes - even if the weight of the child is unknown. The childs weight is usually not known in emergencies, and an unconscious or pulseless child cant be weighed.

You can stop guessing the childs weight during emergencies.

Peds PALS Scanner automatically gives you the defibrillation level and equipment sizes. The PALS algorithms are included to guide each step in the resuscitation.
