Crash carts centralize resuscitation supplies including airway tools medications defibrillator and IV access kits. They are strategically placed and require daily checks to ensure readiness for code events. Assign staff to check expiration dates battery status and inventory and ensure clear labeling and role assignments during codes.
Crash carts are essential for rapid response and must be maintained and audited for immediate availability. Mobile resuscitation cart containing drugs airway equipment and defibrillator for emergency response. Regular simulation drills with the crash cart improve team performance and reduce time to critical interventions.
