When it comes to pediatric emergencies, every second matters — but real-world conditions don’t always allow for an ideal process. In line with the most recent 2025 Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guidelines, the American Heart Association (AHA) emphasizes the importance of accurate weight-based methods, anthropometric estimations, and reliable cognitive aids to guide pediatric resuscitation.
That’s why we developed OneDose®, a patient care platform designed to make those best practices practical and achievable in the field — helping EMS teams follow all three AHA pediatric dosing guidelines from pre-scene to handoff.
Here’s how OneDose fits into your workflow:
Pre-scene:
Before arrival, crews can use OneDose to estimate weight based on age. The app instantly calculates guideline-based medication doses and fluid volumes, giving providers a reliable cognitive aid and immediate dosing reference.
On scene:
When conditions allow, the OneWeight® gurney scale provides an exact, real-time weight. In line with the AHA’s only Class I recommendation for weight-based dosing of resuscitation medications, OneWeight allows for real-time, accurate weights of your most critical patients without disrupting workflow or losing valuable time. If the patient cannot be safely placed on the scale, the OneDose app offers a length-based estimation tool — allowing providers to quickly determine weight and continue receiving precise, weight-based dosing guidance. In both cases, OneDose automatically calculates or recalculates all medication and fluid doses, ensuring accuracy and adherence to AHA dosing limits.
During care and handoff:
Throughout resuscitation, transport, and transfer, OneDose provides real-time dosing support, records weight-based interventions, and generates documentation to support QA, data review, and training.
OneDose helps EMS teams:
- Use accurate, weight-based dosing without exceeding adult limits.
- Improve weight estimation accuracy with both age- and length-based tools.
- Access instant cognitive aids for safe, precise medication administration when every second counts.
At OneDose, we’re dedicated to helping EMS providers deliver confident, consistent, and AHA-aligned pediatric care through integrated solutions like OneDose and OneWeight — from pre-scene to handoff.
