Emergency Equipment

[mariabruce4]

I want to know what other hospitals do in terms of keeping emergency equipment readily available at the patient's bedside. I want to improve the process on my unit at work and would love to hear how other nurses and units keep their supplies at hand without cluttering up the bedside.

The equip. includes:

ambubag

suction yaunkeer

suction nasal tip

suction tubing

simple mask

nasal cannula

Thanks everyone!

We have a crash cart with those items and just wheel it where it might be needed. What sort of unit are you working in?
