The patient's body weight is often taken as a basis when calculating drug doses and determining equipment sizes for pediatric patients presenting to the emergency department.
The methods used to determine body weight are the family's estimated weight, formulas for estimating weight according to age, or the Broselow band used to estimate weight according to height.
Weight estimates that are incomplete compared to the child's actual body weight lead to medication errors, wrong material selection and prolongation of the procedure, resulting in increased mortality and morbidity.
This study will be carried out to create an evidence-based practice in the selection of catheters to be used during peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, urinary catheter insertion, nasogastric/orogastric catheter insertion and aspiration in children using the Broselow band in non-resuscitation applications coming to the Pediatric Emergency Department.
By using the Boselow band in non-resuscitation pediatric emergency department applications, reducing the number of attempts and errors by ensuring the correct equipment selection in the procedures applied to patients, and increasing the success of the procedure; This will be done to ensure that the decisions taken by nurses using their experience and previous knowledge are more systematic.

| Use of broselow tape | Other | In the research, the nurse is the decision maker in the selection of the catheters to be used in the procedures (peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, urinary catheter insertion, aspiration procedure, nasogastric/orogastric catheter insertion) for the patients in the control group. In these procedures, the nurse's choices will be evaluated as control group data as routine clinical practice. After the control group data is collected, Broselow tape will be used in the selection of catheters to be used in the procedures to be performed on the patients in the experimental group (peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, urinary catheter insertion, aspiration procedure, nasogastric/orogastric catheter insertion). Our research will be conducted to examine the effect of nurses' use of Broselow tape in non-resuscitation applications and to minimize errors and application disruptions in procedures involving nurses. |
