Attachment F Emergency Drug Kit and Crash Cart Inspection Check Protocol If the lock on the crash cart is broken: 1) complete a total inventory of the cart, 2) replace used/expired items and replace lock, 3) check the Emergency Drug Kit. If the Emergency Drug Kit lock has been broken, or the Emergency Drug Kit has been removed, notify the pharmacy, and return the Drug Kit to the pharmacy for replacement during normal work hours. If the Emergency Drug Kit has been opened and needs to be replaced on weekends, after hours, holidays, etc, there are extra replacement drug kits located in the nurse administrator s office. Notify the CSH Nurse Administrator if extra crash cart materials are needed after normal working hours and holidays. Routine monitoring of the crash cart include: 1) Check and Record the O2 PSI EVERY NIGHT ON 11-7 shift. The tank should be changed if it reads 500 psi or less. 2) Ensure that the lock is intact and verify the crash cart lock number. 3) Verify the expiration dates of the AED electrode pads. 4) For Lifepak 500, verify the expiration dates of BOTH AED batteries on the form. For Zoll, check to ensure green check ( ) light is on. If red (X) is present, unplug electrodes and check for green check ( ) to appear. If the green check ( ) light does not appear and/or the red (X) continues, tag as out of order and notify the supervisor. 5) Check the suction machine every night. If the suction machine is battery operated unplug and run for 15 minutes every Wednesday night for all types of suction check for vacuum. (Vacuum check: Make sure that the regulator is pushed in to the high vacuum position, use occlusion to check suction capability. If the unit stops or slows during the testing time, notify the nurse manager/designee who will report the malfunction to the biomedical engineer) 6) Check the list of emergency drug expiration dates located on the crash cart. Routine monitoring of the AED include: For Lifepak 500: AT THE END OF EACH MONTH THE NURSE/ DESIGNEE WILL DOWNLOAD THE AED and CHANGE THE BATTERY, if applicable. The nurse will: 1) enter a note in the comments section that the battery change out was completed, 2) place the removed battery from the AED on the charger, 3) check the battery charger each shift and remove the battery from the charger when the green LED light appears on the charger and, 4) place the charged battery on the crash cart and enter a note on the comments section of this form to indicate the battery was charged. Reminder: AED batteries expire 2 years from the date on the battery. The unit nurse should contact the nurse manager/ designee for new batteries ONE month prior to expiration.
