Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a measuring tape for determining equipment sizes and medication dosages to use during the resuscitation of a pediatric patient. In one embodiment, the measuring tape may have a plurality of regions having different colors and/or patterns that identify weight zones that correlate with information and equipment required for resuscitating the pediatric patient. The measuring tape may be wrapped around the arm of the pediatric patient to determine the mid-arm circumference. Once wrapped around the arm, the color and/or pattern in alignment with an opening of the measuring tape may be used to identify a weight zone for the patient which provides the proper equipment size and medication dosages to be used for resuscitating the pediatric patient.
