Box Hill Hospital Resuscitation Trolley

Abstract

A resuscitation trolley has been designed to meet the following requirements.

Continuous oxygen supply from the trolley for the duration of the emergency; medical suction of similar strength to that of an ICU treatment bay and provision of equipment and drugs in a modular form, which is uniform across the institution, and which allows immediate replacement from stock.

These requirements have been fulfilled whilst maintaining a total trolley weight and manoeuvrability similar to that of commercially manufactured trolleys available in Australia.
