Crash cart

Subject		Crash cart
Sources		Ich lese zur Zeit „Recursion“ von Blake Crouch. An dem Punkt, wo ich gerade im Buch bin, wacht jemand nachdem er betäubt wurde in einem Bett auf: „The wall facing him is lined with a computer terminal and an assortment of medical equipment, including (and to his considerable alarm) a crash cart.“ Was ist denn das?

Comment		"Notfall-/Herzstillstand-Wagen"? Eine deutsche Bezeichnung kenne ich für den Crash Cart nicht, aber, zitiert aus Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_cart A *crash cart* or *code cart* (*crash trolley* in UK medical jargon) or "MAX cart" is a set of trays/drawers/shelves on wheels used in hospitals for transportation and dispensing of emergency medication/equipment at site of medical/surgical emergency for life support protocols (ACLS/ALS) to potentially save someone's life. The cart carries instruments for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other medical supplies while also functioning as a support litter for the patient. ... The contents of a crash cart vary from hospital to hospital, but typically contain the tools and drugs needed to treat a person in or near cardiac arrest. These include but are not limited to: Monitor/defibrillators, suction devices, and bag valve masks (BVMs) of different sizes Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) drugs such as epinephrine, atropine, amiodarone, lidocaine, sodium bicarbonate, dopamine, and vasopressin First line drugs for treatment of common problems such as: adenosine, dextrose, epinephrine for IM use, naloxone, nitroglycerin, and others Drugs for rapid sequence intubation: succinylcholine or another paralytic, and a sedative such as etomidate or midazolam; endotracheal tubes and other intubating equipment Drugs for peripheral and central venous access Pediatric equipment (common pediatric drugs, intubation equipment, etc.) Other drugs and equipment as chosen by the facility

Comment		It's a little wheeled cart with a defibrillator and other equipment, to be used for resuscitation if a patient 'crashes' (= stops breathing, loses pulse / heartbeat, etc). One source gives 'crash trolley' as a BE alternative. The medical translators among us may want to say more, but as a non-expert, I don't think it always consists of an entire stretcher or gurney, especially not in hospitals where there are already plenty of those. Maybe for something like the medics rushing out onto the soccer field for a head injury, or indeed, out into the parking lot if someone has a severe allergic reaction at a vaccine center.
