Abstract
Knowing a pediatric patient’s weight is crucial in resuscitation since the decision on the dose of resuscitation drug and the size of the instrument is made mostly based on a patient’s weight. However, using a scale may not always be practical in
resuscitation. Therefore, it is important to know the methods of weight estimation in resuscitation. The weight estimation can be performed based on various factors: visual assessment, age, height, and body habitus. One of the most common problems of these methods is that the weight tends to be underestimated as a patient’s age increases. This is due to an inappropriate reflection of body habitus. Further research is needed to overcome this problem.
