The office emergency cart.
Two mobile emergency resuscitative carts have been described. One, in use in a major dental school in the United States, has been estimated to cost $8,000 to $10,000. The second, with essentially the same equipment and drugs, costs about $2,800 and is feasible for an office situation. It helps to solve two problems. First, it provides a ready, compact, and organized method for the storage and maintenance of emergency resuscitative drugs and equipment. Second, it provides a vehicle by which the medical emergency resuscitative expertise of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon may be extended and utilized.
