PedDose&Y-site Checker application
Pediatric dose
This pediatric dosage information is intended to be used as basic information for pediatricians, pharmacists, nurses, and medical personnel providing care for pediatric patients. The content contains common names of medicines. Forms and strengths of individual drug preparations available at the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health The dosage is divided according to different age groups. According to body weight (weight base) or body surface area (BSA), dose adjustment in conditions of impaired kidney and liver function. Adjusting the dose according to adverse reactions Dose adjustment when used in combination with other drugs Prescribing medicine for children should be clear, such as specifying the dosage in mg/kg/dose and specifying the frequency of use. Corresponds to the strength of the drug formula together with consideration of other factors such as drug dosage in obese children Prescribing medicine in newborns must be considered according to the Post Menstrual Age (PMA), calculated from the gestational age (GA) in weeks plus the age after birth. (chronological age) In summary, prescribing medicine in children must consider age range. The weight selected is used to calculate the dosage, indications, dosage based on the patient's condition at that time, route of administration, available dosage forms, etc.
The dosage information in this application has been compiled from reference materials that are properly accessible within the intranet of the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health. It is an open resource. or reference book and prepared within the context of the list of medicines and special medicine preparations that are produced within the institute. The time period of the latest information is as specified in the referenced document. and is only preliminary information for decision making. The use of information may therefore require consideration of such limitations and may require consideration of current information from other sources as well.

Y-site Checker
Patients who need to administer several types of intravenous drugs at the same time But with only one or two infusion lines, the drugs need to be administered together through the Y-site. As a result, the two injectable drugs are mixed together for a period of time before entering the patient's body. If drugs are incompatible, serious consequences for the patient may occur. Therefore, it is important and necessary to have an application to check the physical compatibility of injectable drugs before administration. This is to help prevent problems with drug sedimentation during administration, which can be life-threatening if the sediment blocks blood vessels in vital organs.
This application can
- Check intravenous drug compatibility when administered via y-site. Can support checking of more than 2 or more drug pairs.
- Collect data on physical compatibility of intravenous drug pairs. When administered through the Y-Site, more than 2000 pairs are a list of medications, dosage forms, and concentrations that are actually used in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
- Compilation database compiled from trusted sources. And new information obtained from additional research includes:
1) Trissel LA. Handbook of Injectable drugs.17th ed. ASHP. 2013
2) Porka K, Arayachaichan A. QSNICH IV Drug Y-Site Compatibility Wall Charts for

3) Ariyawangso U, Porka K, Arayachaichan A. The Physical Compatibility of IV Injectable Drugs Frequently Administered in PICU atQSNICH.JDMS.2023.
- Useful to help medical personnel make more informed treatment decisions. When multiple injectable drugs must be administered together via the Y-site
