Hi Jim,
Here in Malta, within the Paediatric Emergency Department, we use the same tape. We replaced the Broselow tape following the batch recall. It has proven to be very effective and extremely helpful when a quick weight estimation is needed, particularly in pre-hospital settings or within the department, especially in the resuscitation room.

Hello everyone!
As we all waiting on the fix to the Broselow Tapes, we have found another length-based weight tape and wanted to see if anyone had any experience using it. The
PediaTape Quick Tape looks like it is just a tape measure that is used to get the weight and does not have of the medications or equipment which is more what we use it for anyway (we have our own equipment and medication lists). We just wanted to know if anyone else has used this and how it went.
Thanks!
