Purpose: Understanding the difference in treating pediatric patients is essential to provide medication in safe doses. This is especially true in emergency, when medications have to be provided quickly. Therefore it is the practice in the units, the pharmacists prepare a sheet for each child that is admitted, with appropriate doses of emergency medications for them weight.
Description: The main goal is to provide the nurses and physicians with a reference that lists safe doses of emergency medications for the child’s weight. The sheet contains all emergency medications as well as the proper doses of intubations medications. The sheet is placed in the patient’s room in a visible location and if the child is transferred it goes with him.
Evaluation/Outcomes: The nurses and physicians are familiar with the resource of the medication sheets and have found them useful in situations that require quick reaction. The hope is that the nurses will become familiar enough with using them that they will immediately reference them in critical situations and diminish the response time.
