PEPID (Portable Emergency Physician Information Database) was designed for physicians, residents, interns and medical students to present management essentials for virtually all medical and drug problems encountered in the emergency or urgent care settings.
PEPID provides diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment recommendations for over 1,100 cases. It contains information on trauma management (including resuscitation basics and management of traumatic emergencies plus a step-by-step guide to procedures), pediatrics, orthopedics (including diagnosis and management essentials for all fractures, sprains, ligament and joint injuries and infections), toxicology, giving advice on general management, overdoses, antidotes, drug of abuse, occupational exposures, plant identification and poisoning, general toxins and a list of poison control centers. PEPID also provides detailed information for all commonly prescribed drugs, including generic and trade names, adult and pediatric doses, dosage formulations and adjustment, pregnancy class, contra-indications, adverse drug reactions, important drug interaction common overdose management and pharmacokinetics. As PEPID has been developed for use in an emergency situation, it has a user-friendly interface and can also be used on palm tops, which enables a flexible use. A simple “point-and-click” technique enables rapid assimilation.
Evaluation: PEPID was prepared by over 40 Board Certified Emergency, Pharmacology, Surgery and Internal Medicine Specialists and field tested by over four years.
