We use a stretcher scale that EMS weights the patient as they come in since we have few beds that weigh as well. Think it was around 5k.

Hello, Our hospital has very few emergency department beds that weigh patients. We are struggling to obtain accurate weights to calculate 30ml/kg fluids for SEP-1. How are other hospitals accurately obtaining patient weight in the ED? Or is a set amount of fluid given to patients? Thanks in advance for your feedback!
