Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group
Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Procedure - Broselow Band Selection - Experimental Group Urinary Catheter Insertion Procedure - Broselow Tape Selection - Experimental Group Aspiration process - Broselow Band Selection - Experimental group Nasogastric/Orogastric Catheter Insertion Procedure - Broselow Band Selection - Experimental Group
Use of broselow tape
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.
Control Group
Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Procedure - Routine Application - Control Group Urinary Catheter Insertion Procedure - Routine Application - Control Group Aspiration process - Routine Application - Control Group Nasogastric/Orogastric Catheter Insertion Procedure - Routine Practice - Control Group
