Description

This skill provides structured guidance for pediatric clinical calculators and decision rules. It supports accurate input collection, calculation, interpretation, and safety caveats.

Quick Reference

Tool Use
PECARN Head Injury Rule Identify very low risk of clinically important TBI
CDC Growth Charts Growth percentiles for ages 2 to 20 years
WHO Growth Standards Growth percentiles for birth to 24 months
Pediatric Weight-Based Dosing Historical dosing rules (Clark, Young, Fried)
Holliday-Segar Maintenance fluid calculation (4-2-1 rule)
Parkland Formula Burn resuscitation volume calculation

Interactive Mode (Lightweight)

  1. Confirm clinical context and intended tool.
  2. Collect required inputs with units and timing.
  3. Validate inclusion and exclusion criteria.
  4. Apply tool and present results with interpretation.
  5. Provide safety caveats and next-step guidance.
