The percentage of weight estimations within 10% of actual weight were 65.8% (59.1, 65.8, and 68.1% for the 19-kg groups, respectively) and 44.8% (40.9, 50.6, and 35.5% for the 19-kg groups, respectively) using the Broselow tape and the APLS method, respectively. The color concordance rates of the Broselow tape-estimated weight in the three groups were 56.8, 57.2, and 68.1%, respectively. The 19-kg groups included 44, 257, and 141 children, respectively. Results: The study included 442 children (mean age: 48 months male-to-female ratio: 1.13:1). Broselow tape was used to estimate weight and its validity was compared with the advanced child life support (APLS) method. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the emergency department of the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine (Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China) in March 2022. Objective: To assess the validity of the Broselow tape in estimating the weight of Chinese children in pediatric emergency. 4Department of Child Psychology, The Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine/National Clinical Research Center for Children's Health and Diseases/National Regional Children's Medical Center, Hangzhou, China.3Statistics Office, The Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.2Department of Nursing, The Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.1Emergency Department, The Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.Duke University Medical Center.Shuzhen Zhu 1, Jihua Zhu 2, Hongqin Zhou 2, Xiuping Chen 2, Jianfeng Liang 3, Lijun Liu 1, Caidi Zhang 1, Yingying Zhao 1, Yanyan Chen 1, Xiao Wu 1, Sheng Ye 1 * and Kewen Jiang 4 * Study Packet for the Correct Use of the Broselow Pediatric Emergency Tape.
