Table 3.

Frequency of errors, conventional syringe versus color-coded syringe.

	Conventional Syringe		Color-Coded Syringe		Absolute Difference, 95% CI
Variable	N	%	N	%
Total number of doses administered	118		123
Number of dosing errors*	31	26	5	4	22	5–40
Number of doses outside of the Broselow range	26	22	4	3	19	3–34
Number of critical dosing errors†	20	17	0	0	17	4–30

^*An incorrect dose is defined by a dose that was greater than or equal to 10% or less than or equal to 10% of the published Broselow dose.

^†Critical dose error defined as a dose administered at less than 90% of the minimum correct Broselow dose or greater than 110% of the maximum correct Broselow dose.
