pediatric normal vital signs
Among other tools provided in the Tables of Epocrates comes the Normal Vital Signs.
This is undoubtedly needed in pediatric practice and Epocrates made it quite easy to look up but unfortunately it's unlike Kidometer there is no way by which we enter age and sex to get the full vitals data.
This monograph incorporates reliable data (referenced from Harriet Lane and Harrisons) starting from the first day of life right through adolescence and adulthood.
Part of our daily practice is to check whether the vital signs we are looking at are actually normal or not. Make a wish to get it better; of course we want a better interface to enter patient data and an output richer in information like growth parameters. Although we should remember that Epocrates MedMath provides calculators of body mass index, body surface areas (See Right) , and ideal body weight.
