Every minute is crucial during emergency code response. The odds of patient survival are improved when healthcare providers are able to quickly identify all the items they need within a Crash Cart. For even the most seasoned hospital staff responding to an emergency code is the most stressful and mentally strenuous task they will perform. 

Healthcare educators around the U.S have identified the importance of running mock codes for medical providers of any level. They have found that by utilizing Loaded Crash Carts as a teaching tool they can simulate a variety of emergency codes from beginning to end with the utmost accuracy and precision. Below our DiaMedical USA Nurse Educator has highlighted 5 of the most important reasons healthcare providers should implement Loaded Emergency Crash Carts into their training.


Convenience For Instructors - Loaded Crash Carts by SimLabSolutions were designed by experienced nursing educators to ensure that they meet the needs of adult and pediatric resuscitation training programs. These preloaded carts arrive at your school simulation ready with all essential supplies neatly packed in the appropriate drawers, making them ready for immediate use. We’ve also made restocking your cart simple and cost-effective, our Loaded Crash Cart Refill Kits are ready made trays that fit right into the drawer of your cart, eliminating the need to reorder supplies in bulk.

Simulations For Any Skill Level - Mock codes with Loaded Crash Carts are helpful for healthcare providers of any skill level. Nursing assistants and students are empowered to begin lifesaving BLS interventions and effectively assist the code team. Repeated simulations with crash cart supplies enhance ACLS, PALS and NRP certification training for licensed professionals. Participants have opportunities to improve team performance, master psychomotor skills, and reduce time to defibrillation. Effective resuscitation ultimately leads to improved patient care with increased odds of survival.

Supplies for Both Adult & Pediatric Resuscitation Training - The Loaded 5 Drawer Emergency Crash Cart is designed for adult resuscitation training while the Loaded 6 Drawer Emergency Crash Cartcontains supplies for patients of all ages. Each cart contains all of the simulated crash cart medication and supplies for advanced life support, neatly organized so that they are readily accessible. SimRx Simulated Code Medication match current PALS and ACLS algorithms with realistic packaging and labels. They are stocked in the top drawer per standard practice, with airway and IV supplies organized in the lower drawers.

Promote Best Practice In Healthcare - Effective resuscitation requires healthcare professionals to seamlessly integrate teamwork, knowledge and psychomotor skills. Simulation with Loaded Crash Carts can enhance each of these to improve response times and increase staff confidence levels. The Loaded Crash Carts were designed to promote optimal patient outcomes while maintaining the safety of healthcare providers. All contents are latex free and designed to prevent needlestick injury. Pre-filled code drugs and IV tubing sets have needle-free Luer-lock connectors. Code drugs have Luer lock tips and medication syringes have blunt tip cannulas.

Essential Accessories Are Already Included - Loaded Emergency Crash Carts include cardiac backboards with mounting brackets so that students can practice board placement for effective chest compressions. An IV pole is mounted on the side of the crash cart, allowing participants to prepare the simulated IV fluids for administration. Plastic breakaway seals are included and may be used to secure the loaded crash carts when not in use. The pull-out work shelf is ideal for medication preparation and the transport lock keeps drawers secured during rapid transit.
