2021, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Our lower proportion of correct doses may relate to our threshold of a 20% margin of error. One strategy to improve the accuracy of medication administration is the use cognitive aids, such as the Broselow-Luten tape [25,26] and Handtevy system [27], to retrieve doses based on the patient's length or age. Some authors have proposed using smaller, color-coded, prefilled syringes [28,29].
