Every veterinary hospital needs a crash cart; ideally, one in the treatment room, each operating room, and one in the patient ward. But what exactly should we keep in them? How should they be organized?
The reality is that although the contents are relatively common across hospitals, the organization ends up being what works for your team members. Therefore, we strongly encourage practicing CPR with the entire team at least twice a year to refresh the team, check in on any equipment or personnel issues, and keep up to date on the latest practices.
We also recommend going through your crash cart after every code to replace contents, and at least weekly to check on the expiration of any contents. Click on the drawers below to get an idea of what to keep in your cart.
