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.
