You reminded me that I hadn't put up a paeds drug dosing cheat sheet that Michael Ings put together. It's on now at /downloads/cat_view/51-documents/96-guides.html

ALso, for those with iPhones, I'd thoroughly recommend PaedsED.
It's really simple, just put in the childs age, and calculates everything you can think of in a very logical layout (eg WETFAG for APLS calculations).
I haven't been through it and formally checked the anaesthetic drug doses yet but the APLS calculations are accurate.
