| Abstract: | The authors have devised a cart for use during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the prime purpose of which is to bring every essential piece of equipment, and all the drugs generally required, to the immediate area to revive a pulseless and/or apneic patient with the least effort and confusion. The strategically placed contents of the cart are described.The regular use of such a cart, following appropriate formal staff training and instruction in resuscitation procedures, and frequent reading of an appropriate instruction poster, as well as the reporting of all these events on an appropriate protocol, will increase the effectiveness of acute resuscitation in hospital. |
