Broselow Tapes 2025 v3 - New errors found (Nov 2025)

Good morning!
We recently found 2 errors on the newly released Broselow Tape 2025 v3 and wanted to share it so you all are aware and can determine next steps.

#1. Flumazenil dosing on one of the dosing tables towards the beginning of the card lists the dose as 0.1 mg/kg. (the dose should be 0.01 mg/kg).

#2. Vecuronium on one of the dosing tables towards the beginning of the card, for the "Pre-RSI" indication, lists the dose as 0.1 mg/mL (should be mg/kg).
- The Vec dose under the Post-RSI is correct right below it.

At this time, there has been no information provided from the company as to when they plan to release an updated card.

Some of our sites that have already replaced all of their cards to the 2025 version are blacking out the wrong dosing information on the front table.

Note: It appears that the calculated dosing in the color tables based on patient weight, are correct.

thanks!
Stacy
