Important design features include: The option to enter age in Years, Months and Days or as Date of Birth If known weight can be entered in Kg or Lb/Oz If weight is not known the application will provide an estimated weight which has been derived from the 50th centile for age and sex from World Health Organisation (WHO) growth charts. This increases the accuracy of the results provided by the application compared to using the standard formula (age in years + 4) x 2 for estimating weight.This application is a must for any Paediatrician, Anaesthetist, Emergency Department Physician or any healthcare professional who as some stage may find themselves looking after an acutely unwell child.
