The Broselow Pediatric Emergency Tape features a color-coded system that provides essential medical dosage information and size-specific equipment for emergency resuscitation of children.
Each weight zone on the tape has pre-calculated medication doses to streamline administration and reduce the risk of human error. The 2019 version of the Broselow Pediatric Tape is compliant with the latest PALS Standards and includes habitus adjustment for obesity, accurate calculation of ideal body weight, and a comprehensive list of crucial medications for EMS and the ER. Additionally,
Quick Access Meds are included for immediate use.
*If the healthcare provider incorporates a visual estimate of body habitus into the prediction, the accuracy of the estimate of actual patient weight is improved as confirmed in multiple studies. Specifically, for drug dosing the patient's length-based dosing zone if the child appears overweight. Thus, incorporating a visual estimate of whether the child is over-weight provides a simple method to predict weight that appears to be clinically relevant given the rise of obesity in the United States.
