Pediatrics Calculators

Specialized tools for growth assessment, development and pediatric dosing.

What are Pediatrics Calculators?

Pediatric calculators are specialized clinical tools developed to address the particularities of the pediatric population. They assist pediatricians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in monitoring children's growth and development, calculating medication doses adjusted for age and weight, evaluating anthropometric percentiles, and monitoring developmental milestones. Based on WHO growth curves, validated pediatric dosing tables, and international protocols, these calculators are essential for safe and effective pediatric practice, reducing medication errors and ensuring adequate assessment of child development.

When to Use These Tools

  • Growth monitoring in well-child visits
  • Calculation of medication doses adjusted for children
  • Assessment of weight, height, and BMI percentiles in children
  • Monitoring of neuropsychomotor development
  • Early identification of deviations from normal growth
  • Nutritional planning for children and adolescents

Clinical Benefits

  • Safety in pediatric medication dose calculation
  • Accurate monitoring of child growth
  • Early identification of developmental alterations
  • Reduction of prescription errors in pediatrics
  • Standardization of assessments according to WHO references
  • Effective communication with parents about child development

Frequently Asked Questions

Are pediatric calculators safe for calculating doses?

Yes, when used correctly by qualified professionals. The formulas are based on validated protocols, but should always be checked and interpreted considering the child's clinical context and institutional guidelines.

Are growth curves updated?

Yes. We use the most recent growth curves from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other internationally recognized pediatric references, ensuring accurate assessment of child development.

Can parents use these tools?

The tools are public, but we strongly recommend that results be interpreted by pediatricians. Monitoring child growth requires complete professional assessment, including physical examination and detailed clinical history.
