Abstract

The authors present a description of the procedure cart they designed for their Emergency Department. This project was in response to the inefficiencies in having to gather supplies from various locations to get set up. A complete description including each of the drawer contents is provided to allow others to easily replicate a tool that saved the authors much time and frustration in daily practice.

Keywords: emergency department; emergency medicine resuscitation; procedure cart; quality improvement tool; resuscitation; surgical supplies.
