EMS Pediatric Weight Measuring Tape Request Form |
Wisconsin Emergency Medical Services for Children (WI EMSC) has launched a quality improvement project focused on increasing the proportion of pediatric EMS encounters with documentation of estimated weight in kilograms. Thanks to a generous funding opportunity from Cars Curing Kids, part of this initiative includes providing all ambulances and emergency medical responder (EMR) groups in the state with a retractable, Broselow-compatible weight measuring tape and a corresponding reference card. These resources will help EMS personnel increase weight documentation and rapidly assess correct medication dosing and equipment sizes for pediatric patients.
