Design: The cart is designed to be a HIGH RELIABILTY system to help assure necessary critical equipment is readily availability at the bedside for EVERY intubation. The cart should be immediately resupplied from a department’s central repository of stock. This is an “Adult” Airway Cart – Assumes separate fully stocked system for pediatric patients (e.g. Broselow Cart - including LMA and video laryngoscopy blades).

Discloser: The Safer Airway Cart Stocking List was developed without manufacturing influence. Listings do not represent an endorsement of specific products.
