Share your perspective and help improve the health of our community! We are conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to help us better understand the health needs of the community our health system serves. Learn more and take the short survey.
On April 8, all departments that take care of pediatric patients and use the BROSELOW code cart will switch to a pediatric code bag. This allows us to bring only one code cart when responding to pediatric emergencies as the bag will already be on the cart. Color-coded, weight-based, emergency resuscitation equipment and medication dosing will still be used and will be stored in this bag. In each color-coded compartment of the pediatric code bag you will find an oxygen delivery kit, a respiratory support kit and one or two laryngoscopes.
If you take care of pediatric patients on your unit, please look for an education/training plan that will allow you to become familiar with the new code bag and practice using it.
