Procedure Cart - how do you stock yours?

by MDJRN

In the Neuro ICU we will be getting a brand new procedure cart. I want to stock it with the more essential supplies needed. Got the basics:

Sterile Gloves
Sterile Gowns
Chlorehexidine
Biopatches
Tegaderm Dressing
4x4 Gauze
Sterile Towels
Scissors
1" tape
2" tape
Goggles
Face Masks
Face Shields
Suture kits
Flushes
Dead Heads
Caps

Triple Lumen Catheter Kit
Cordis Catheter Kit
Swan Kit

Now, as far as actual kits - well, I want your feedback on which ones should be in there - I mean, the ones used most in a neuro ICU.


I look forward to everyone's input - post pics if you can!

Thank you!
