Pediatric patients can sometimes seem like little aliens—they are affected by different diseases, require different medication dosages, and their vitals are completely different compared to adults. As a medical student rotating through pediatrics, I had a difficult time remembering the different age-specific ranges and developmental milestones when I went to see patients. That’s when I came up with the idea for the PedsVitals Card. It's helped me and my classmates tremendously, and I hope it will be helpful for you too.

All of the information on the card is evidence-based. I referenced a number of papers from reputable pediatrics journals (see 'References' tab). I tried my best to make sure the card is free of errors, but am not able to make a guarantee. Reference ranges, values, and developmental milestones are guidelines and you should always follow local protocol at your institution. Each patient’s individual clinical situation should always be taken into account.
