Abstract: A medical cart, which includes respiration and cardiac functionality, can readily be transported to a patient. The cart may contain separable respiratory and cardiac units in which the cardiac unit contains one or more items useful in treating cardiac emergencies such as cardiac arrest and the respiratory unit contains one or more items useful in treating respiratory emergencies such as a stoppage of breathing. To increase access to the items that the cart carries, parts of the cart, e.g., drawers, which contain items associated with particular medical conditions, may be isolated. As a result, multiple users, who are treating different medical conditions, can access the cart at any given time. A hood may be provided to enclose items, which were placed on top of the cart, while the cart is in transit.

Abstract: A cart includes a base having a deck for holding items and having at least a portion configured to move such that the deck can be changed from an expanded-length position to a reduced-length position, and a frame connected to the deck and configured to be disposed at a first length when the deck is in the expanded-length position and a shorter, second length when the deck is in the reduced-length position. The cart also includes rolling members supporting the base. It further includes a first upright member connected to and extending upwardly from the base.
