Highlights the importance of standardized pediatric weight estimation when a measured weight is not immediately available. Introduces length-based systems and estimation tools that support timely medication dosing, reduce variability, and promote safer clinical decision-making in pediatric emergency care.

Safe pediatric medication delivery relies on consistent, well-designed processes for prescribing, preparation, administration, and disposal across emergency care settings. This document outlines common sources of pediatric medication errors, including weight-based dosing complexity and system vulnerabilities, and shares practical guidance to reduce risk, support safer dosing, and strengthen medication safety practices across multidisciplinary ED teams.

This 50-minute webinar emphasizes the importance of accurate weight measurement and documentation in kilograms to support safe pediatric medication dosing and clinical decision-making.

Provides a structured set of resources and change strategies to help emergency departments implement and sustain kilogram-only weights and documentation.

Highlights the importance of standardized pediatric weight estimation when a measured weight is not immediately available. Introduces length-based systems and estimation tools that support timely medication dosing, reduce variability, and promote safer clinical decision-making in pediatric emergency care.

This Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality resource introduces core concepts related to identifying, reporting, and learning from safety events.

Outlines core patient identification practices essential to safe pediatric emergency care. Highlights standardized approaches to verifying patient identity and preventing wrong-patient errors during assessment, treatment, medication administration, handoffs, and transitions of care.

This Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality resource highlights the importance of culturally and linguistically appropriate care in supporting patient safety, family understanding, and trust.

This slide deck focuses on pediatric medication dosing safety across prehospital and emergency department settings. Highlights practical strategies to reduce variability, improve communication, and support safer medication delivery during high-risk pediatric emergencies.

Highlights the role of end-tidal CO₂ (ETCO₂) monitoring in improving pediatric patient safety during sedation and critical illness. Provides educational resources on when and how to use capnography, how to interpret ETCO₂ values, and how monitoring supports early recognition of respiratory compromise.

Introduces the Abnormal Vital Signs intervention bundle, designed to improve recognition, documentation, and response to abnormal pediatric vital signs.

Includes age-specific thresholds, practical tools, suggested interventions, and measurement guidance to support early escalation of care and reduce missed clinical deterioration.
