About this trial
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to \[learn about, test, compare etc.\] in critically ill or injured cohorts of patients presenting to the Emergency Department. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* Are weight estimates from a 3D camera system more accurate than standard methods of weight estimation? * Do patients who receive weight estimates with a 3D camera system have fewer drug dosing errors than patients receiving standard care?
Participants will either receive a weight estimate using a 3D camera system, or standard methods of care.
Researchers will compare the 3D camera group to those with standard care to see if the weight estimates are more accurate, to see if drug dosing is more accurate, and to compare the incidence of adverse events related to medications in each group.

Treatments tested in this trial
Weight estimation using 3D camera
Other interventionTotal body weight, ideal body weight and lean body weight estimates will be obtained using a 3D camera system. This weight will be used for calculation of weight-based drug doses and other weight-based interventions.
Standard care weight estimation
Other interventionStandard care (unspecified) will be used to determine weight-based dosing and other management.
