The purpose of this prospective single center study is to investigate if a developed algorithm is more accurate than the pediatric emergency tape (Alpha 1 Werbedesign e.K., Falkenberg, Germany). For this study 500 patients are required to collect anonymized data (length, weight, age, anaesthesia material used during anaesthesia) for achieving a power of 80% during statistical analysis. The main hypothesis ist that the algorithm has a better accuracy than the pediatric emergency tape (53% are in a +/- 10% interval).
