Thanks for your help. I am the one who will be making purchasing decisions. I just learned that an anesthesia tech will come over from a partner hospital to help get this set up, but I appreciate having additional information in advance. I have a list for the cart from another organization, but I would be interested in seeing what you have. I forgot to mention in my previous post that we will be using propofol (once we have an anesthesiologist). Thanks again for your help.

I have a very basic question...pardon my ignorance. I work in an outpatient facility where we provide moderate sedation for our procedure patients. I've been asked to figure out what we need (besides the anesthesiologist), anesthesia machine, cart, etc. My first thought was, why don't I ask the anesthesiologist? I guess that's frowned upon. My question, are the anesthesia machine and the anesthesia cart two different things? Or are the terms interchangable? I'm trying to find out if I'm looking for one or both. Thanks so much for your help!

I've wanted to go into nursing education...looks like I'll have to wait until my kids are out of college!
