James Broselow

James Broselow was an American emergency physician, an assistant professor, an inventor and an entrepreneur. He and fellow emergency physician Robert Luten are best known in the medical community for inventing the Broselow tape in 1985, which was the first tool developed relating a pediatric patient's height to their weight in order to “determine the size of equipment, supplies, and dosages of medication to use…” during emergencies. The Broselow Tape is featured in many medical textbooks and reference manuals as the standard for length-based weight measures. Nearly 40 years later after its inception, the Broselow Tape remains a cornerstone in pediatric emergency care worldwide, with Broselow hailed as the "rock star" of pediatric medicine. It continues to save lives throughout the globe.
