Patient -
correct answer ✅Our example is a 3-year-old child weighing 25 lbs,
or 11 kg.
Pediatric Blood Pressure Formula -
correct answer ✅70 + (age of child x 2)
So, a three-year-old child should have a minimum systolic blood
pressure of 76, because
70 + (3 x 2) =
70 + 6 = 76
*remember, always solve equations inside the parantheses first!*
Pediatric Synchronized Cardioversion -
correct answer ✅Cardiovert children at .5-1 J/kg.
So, for a 25 lb (11 kg) child, cardiovert at 5.5 J on the R wave, then
at 11 J if the first dose fails.
Pediatric Unsynchronized Cardioversion, or Defibrillation -
correct answer ✅Shock kids at 2-4 J/kg, to a max of 10 J. So, now
shock the 25 lb kid at 22 J, then 44 J, and so on.
