Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Very useful for new residents!!

    By MROCD10 (Pcmac user)

    Highly recommend it...
  • Nice, if you need to know

    By PyroMD (Pcmac user)

    This a simple and basic decision making tool for which term laboring patients need prophylaxis suggesting the optimal drug for the situation. A fetal therapy decision tree is also included. The format is based on answering yes/no questions to arrive at the 2002 CDC recommendations. The App is simple, illustrative, and the information is accurate. I do not see this being used by a current practicing obstetrician, as one would know this cold. Students, new residents, maternity cross covering nurses may benefit from this Apps format & information. Kudos to the author for the effort and making this free contribution to medical education!!
