Podcast #218: Estimating Pediatric Weight

Author: Aaron Lessen, M.D.

Educational Pearls

  • Asking parents and Broselow Tape are common options for estimating pediatric weight.
  • Equipment sizes should not be adjusted for under/overweight kids based on Broselow Tape estimates.
  • The finger counting method (see reference) is just as accurate as Broselow Tape method, according to one study.
