Transcript of Crash Cart
A crash cart or code cart (crash trolley in UK medical jargon) is a set of trays/drawers/shelves on wheels used in hospitals for transportation and dispensing of emergency medication/equipment at site of medical/surgical emergency for life support protocols (ACLS/ALS) to potentially save someone's life.The contents of a crash cart vary from hospital to hospital, but typically contain the tools and drugs needed to treat a person in or near cardiac arrest. These include but are not limited to: Monitor/defibrillators and suction devices Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) drugs such as epinephrine, atropine, amiodarone, lidocaine, sodium
bicarbonate, dopamine, and vasopressin First line drugs for treatment of common problems such as: adenosine, dextrose, diazepam or midazolam,
epinephrine for IM use, naloxone, nitroglycerin, and others Drugs for rapid sequence intubation: Succinylcholine or another paralytic, and a sedative such as etomidate or
midazolam; endotracheal tubes and other intubating equipment Drugs for peripheral and central venous access Pediatric equipment (common pediatric drugs, intubation equipment, etc.) Other drugs and equipment as chosen by the facility
