What Goes in a Crash Cart?
A crash cart holds what staff need in the first minutes of a cardiac arrest or emergency. A typical layout (from a crash cart guidance document hosted by CAHO) is:
- Top: defibrillator with leads, adult and child Ambu bags, laryngoscope with blades, stylet and torch.
- Small compartment: ECG leads, lignocaine jelly, plasters and surgical blades.
- Sides: oxygen cylinder, CPR (cardiac) board, hand suction and IV stand.
- Drawers: emergency drugs on one side, airway and surgical items on the other, IV fluids at the bottom.
The same document says the cart should be checked every shift by the nurse in charge, with drug expiry checked every month and recorded on a checklist.
