AbstractThe dose of drugs used in pediatric resuscitation is one of the greatest sources of problems. Usually, each drug has a different recommended dosage in mg/kg weight and a different presentation in mg/ml in the ampoule. We suggested a simple solution to simplify drug use in the emergency: we established a common dose of 0.1 ml/kg body weight and modified drugs presentations conventionally used for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and tracheal tube placement in newborns and children so that all the new ampoules contain the same dose.
