Hospitals can be incredibly chaotic at times, dealing with multiple issues that occur without warning. Emergency medical equipment is critical in these instances, offering support to healthcare professionals to do their job correctly. Below are five of the most critical emergency medical equipment pieces that every facility should include.
CPR Super Pocket Mask with Filter:
The CPR Super Pocket Mask is an award-winning product used for a mouth to mouth resuscitation. Seeing as this CPR mask has a bacterial air filter, it minimises the risk of cross-contamination during CPR. The mask has a soft air-cushion to ensure comfort, better seal and a flexible extension tube to ensure better adjustment. This mask is disposable and should only ever be used once. These masks are easy to carry and can be easily stored in the compact carry case.
Emergency Cart:
The emergency cart is perfect to organise all of your emergency medical equipment. It is used to store accessories such as a Sharps Container, Oxygen Tank, I.V. Pole and Cardiac Board. This cart has locking handles to ensure maximum security for all of your equipment, especially the sharps. All the emergency carts are delivered fully assembled, ready to be used immediately.
Multiple Purpose Stretchers:
The multi-purpose stretchers are manufactured to ensure versatility, lasting and consistent performance, and ease of use. These stretchers are used to support a patient during transport, induction, treatment and recovery. The stretcher provides patients protection due to the long and high side rails, making sure they cannot fall or hurt themselves. The vinyl-covered mattress ensures comfort in case of extended stay and has a backrest that can incline 0-90 degrees and a knee-flex capability from 0-50 degrees. They are very reliable, sturdy and easy to use.
Wheelchair:
A wheelchair is used when walking is difficult or impossible due to an illness, injury, or disability. The wheelchair has swing away removable leg rests & removable armrests. It has heel loops to support your heel, a folding frame so that it can be easily stored and solid tyres to ensure safety and comfortable experience.
Professional Nurse Accessory Kit (Basic):
The nurse accessory kits come with essential emergency medical equipment, vital to a nurse’s role. Equipment such as a stethoscope and thermometer are used on almost every patient a nurse comes across. Designed to listen to patient’s heartrates and take their temperatures, stethoscopes and thermometer are critical tools in a nurse’s arsenal.
Additionally, the nurse kit also comes with a sphygmomanometer for measuring blood pressure. While not used on a frequent basis, sphygmomanometers are an essential tool and something that all nurses should possess, as measuring patients’ blood pressure can provide insight into their well-being.
Lastly, the nurse kit also includes forceps and surgical scissors for easy management of patient bindings and to help assist in cutting clothing or materials from a patient, the penlight is used to examine eyes, ears, nose and throats of patients and a nurse’s watch.
Find the Right Medical Supplier For Your Business
If you want your facility to have the best emergency medical equipment, then find the right supplier and develop a relationship with them. Price should not be as much of a concern as quality and reliability. In life or death situations, this equipment can often be the difference.
