Broselow Pediatric Emergency Resuscitation Tape

Estimates pediatric weight, equipment sizes, and drug doses from child length.

Parameters

Broselow Pediatric Emergency Resuscitation Tape Result

--
FormulaStandardized length-to-weight regression mapped to American Heart Association (AHA) PALS resuscitation drug & equipment protocols.

Clinical Pearls

Eliminates mathematical calculation errors during high-stress pediatric cardiac arrest, trauma resuscitations, and rapid sequence intubation.

Limitations

Designed for standard body habitus; severely obese children may weigh more than the length-based estimate (lean weight should guide airway sizing).
