Disclaimer

PediHero is a reference for healthcare professionals who treat children. It does not replace clinical judgement, local protocols, or the product information of the medicine you use.

What PediHero shows

• Doses, equipment sizes and normal values for body weights from 2 to 40 kg, in whole kilograms.
• For each weight, an estimated age and height. These are estimates for orientation, not measurements.
• The formula and notes behind each value, as given in the data.

Where the values come from

The values are taken unchanged from an existing paediatric emergency reference, used with its author’s permission. PediHero checks automatically that every value it displays equals that data. Independent verification of each value against official and professional sources is in progress; see the methodology. Some values have been flagged for clinical review.

Your responsibility

Always check a dose, the concentration you draw up and the route against your local protocol and the product information before giving a medicine. Doses for adolescents above 40 kg and for preterm infants below 2 kg are not covered.

Privacy

PediHero does not store or send any patient data. The weight you select stays in your browser and is not saved.
