Emergency Crash Cart
Free!
A purpose-built Emergency Crash Cart that brings lifesaving supplies to the bedside fast. It features color-coded, sealed drawers; a defibrillator platform; oxygen and IV accessories; and durable, disinfectant-ready surfaces. Smooth casters and protective bumpers enable rapid, safe transport. Ideal for code blue response in ERs, ICUs, ORs, and wards, it standardizes setup, speeds critical actions, and helps teams deliver confident, coordinated care when seconds matter.
Description
An Emergency Crash Cart—also called a resuscitation trolley—is a mobile, all-in-one station designed to bring life-saving equipment and medications to the patient’s bedside in seconds. Built from durable, easy-to-sanitize materials, it organizes critical supplies for cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, anaphylaxis, and other “code” situations. Smooth-rolling casters, ergonomic handles, and clearly arranged drawers help clinical teams move fast, reduce search time, and standardize response.

How it compares
Compared with generic medical trolleys, a crash cart is optimized for resuscitation: it prioritizes airway and cardiac access, includes mounting for a defibrillator and oxygen, and uses breakaway seals instead of conventional locks to keep contents immediately accessible while proving readiness. Many facilities standardize drawer layouts across units, improving team coordination and reducing errors.
Notes on configuration
Models can be configured with pediatric dosing guides, CPR backboards, specialized medication trays, and barcode/asset labels to support local protocols and documentation.
