Loaded Crash Carts provide simulation labs and medical training facilities with the supplies and equipment needed for Code Emergency simulation. Simulated medications and supplies are organized in a cardboard tray that slides into the corresponding drawer of the cart. This not only ensures the products arrive safely; it eliminates the need for instructors to organize and stock supplies before running a simulation. They are also sure to expedite the process of restocking after a simulation. Finally, the kits guarantee a higher quality training experience. They provide a comprehensive, realistic, and consistent simulation for every student, every time.

Provide medical training facilities and simulation labs with the practice medications and medical supplies most commonly required in Code Blue simulations with our kits that have been based around the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Guidelines. Each of these demo medications contain distilled water that is safe for use in high-fidelity manikins and task trainers.

 

Simulated Medications Included in

Drawer 1 of the Emergency Crash Carts:

 

Simulated Amiodarone:

Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic also found under the brand names Cordarone, Nexterone, and Pacerone. Simulated Amiodarone, like all the other Practi-Medications, is an accurately labeled vial containing manikin-safe distilled water. It is used to teach intravenous injection and to simulate the proper treatment of cardiac problems including Arrhythmia, Atrial Fibrillation, Myocarditis, Atrial Flutter, Tachycardia, Cardiomyopathy, and Cardiac Arrest.

 
Simulated Atropine:

Atropine is an involuntary nervous system blocker, and Simulated Atropine can be used to teach intravenous injection during lessons surrounding Bradycardia – when the average heart rate drops below 60 beats per minute.

 

Simulated Calcium Chloride (CaCl):

Commonly used to educate students on how to protect against a variety of metabolic conditions involving muscle contraction, Simulated Calcium Chloride is particularly useful in cardiac arrest simulations or other lessons on atrial stabilization.

 

Simulated Dextrose 50%:

While Dextrose itself is just a simple sugar, it is chemically identical to Glucose – the sugar that is used as an energy source in the body.  Simulated Dextrose is perfect for fluid replenishment simulations, as well as the in the simulated treatment of hypoglycemic patients.

 

Simulated Dopamine:

Typically included in educational Crash Carts as a secondary option during Bradycardia simulations where Atropine is not effective. Practi-Dopamine is also commonly recommended when training students in the treatment of shock, and blood pressure regulation.

 

Simulated Epinephrine:

Simulated Epinephrine is a widely used hormone in the simulation of various emergency situations. It can be used in the simulation of asthma attacks, severe allergic reactions known as anaphylaxis, and lessons on cardiac arrest.

 

Simulated Lidocaine:

Used primarily to teach the proper medical response to irregular heartbeats – specifically Ventricular Tachycardia –Simulated Lidocaine can also be used to simulate the application of a local anesthetic to relieve pain on the skin.

 

Simulated Sodium Bicarbonate:

Sodium Bicarbonate is most commonly seen in caplet form as an antacid to treat indigestion and heartburn. However, Practi-Sodium Bicarbonate is a vial of manikin-safe distilled water. It can be used to teach intravenous injection in order to treat severe acidosis or to support cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when the simulation includes a drop in blood pH below 7.0.

 

Simulated Vasopressin:

Also known as Simulated Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), Simulated Vasopressin is used in simulations involving constricted blood vessels. It can also be used in as a way to simulate increased water retention. It is also useful in simulations requiring increased kidney reabsorption, and can be used in the education of cardiac arrest as well as a second line therapy for septic shock simulations.

 

Simulated NaCl IV Bags:

Simulated NaCL IV Bags, also known as Simulated Sodium Chloride IV Bags, are the most commonly used simulated medications. They are used to teach fluid resuscitation, the response to severe dehydration or when a lesson requires the student to otherwise increase blood volume. Simulated IV bags can also be infused with other practice medications – a process called “Piggybacking”. They are essential to any Simulation Lab looking for hands-on experience with IV Bag spiking simulations and intravenous injection simulations.
