To determine the degree to which Broselow weight predicts measured weight in children under 143cm (tape limit) in three weight categories

Exclusion criteria

Any medical condition that would substantially affect their weight and/or height: (amputation or dwarfism; dehydration, volume overload, or edema; growth hormone deficiency; severe joint contractures; or neurologic defects (e.g., cerebral palsy) that can affect growth 3 Patients in the NICU were also excluded

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
We could expect to see a difference in any, all or none of the three weight groups. If there is no significant difference in any of the three groups between Broselow weight and true weight, the Broselow tape is accurate for the study population and can be piloted for use in pediatric resuscitations in Max HospitalsTimepoint: AFTER 6 MONTHS WE WOULD COLLECT THE DATA ALL TOGETHER

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
If there is a significant difference in one/two of the subgroups but not in others, we could recommend use of the tape for those subgroups but not in others pending further research. We will analyze our date for preliminary correction factors that would need to be validated in a further study. The Broselow tape would be inaccurate for use in the study population if there are significant differences across all three categories. Timepoint: Correlation
