The best way to calculate blood pressure percentiles, and more.
Put an end to flipping between growth charts, vital signs, and NHLBI blood pressure tables. Now with the Pediacents app for iPhone and iPod touch, you can calculate your patients' exact blood pressure percentiles with just a few taps. Blood pressure percentiles are based on CDC growth data and the regression algorithms behind those confusing charts you used to use1, so you can be sure the results are accurate and precise. But wait, there's more. BMI and BSA are calculated for you. And exact percentiles for BMI, height and weight are also provided. Finally, normal vital ranges based on age and (in the case of blood pressure) height are also calculated.
