The emergency service essential: the emergency trolley

The emergency trolley is an essential tool for clinics, hospitals and other health care institutions and must be able to deal with all emergency situations. It must allow the immediate availability of the material and medicines necessary to treat a patient in a critical condition.

Although it is true that the type of trolley counts a lot, because, let's be clear, not all trolley models are designed to be used in the rush of an emergency. It is better to choose quality equipment that meets your expectations earlier than a low-end tool that will have to be changed in the coming year.

Unfortunately, some manufacturers often decide to cut corners on parts and components, which can lead to minor accidents, such as the loss of a wheel or the detachment or destruction of a drawer, rendering it unusable. The importance of carers in preparing the emergency trolley should not be excluded or minimised.

Indeed, the care workers must ensure that the elements used for care are present, while monitoring the state of the emergency trolley. It is therefore important that the different teams (day and on-call) are prepared to maintain and stock the trolley. Some teams opt for a bi-weekly or monthly check with a detailed list of necessary equipment.

Today, when we look at some of the emergency trolley models available from specialist distributors and manufacturers such as mulTiroir, we can see that what is most important is the quality and durability of the components selected. It is important to note that emergency trolleys are designed to be ergonomic and easy to use.

The entire range of INSAUSTI emergency trolleys has been studied and designed to be resistant to chemicals used for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. The resistance of this range to various chemical agents is not its only asset. We can also mention its compatibility with storage bins that meet the 600 x 400 standard.

Some models, in addition to the slides already installed in the emergency trolley, can accommodate this type of tray. This makes it easier to refuel or act in an emergency situation with removable bins.

One of the advantages of the INSAUSTI emergency trolley compared to other similar products is that it is fully customisable in terms of colour and storage space. In any case, its structure is treated to resist acids and chemicals used for surface disinfection.

In conclusion, it can be said that the emergency trolley is an ally in the emergency department that must be selected with the greatest care so that the care team saves time instead of wasting it.
