Carts designed for organized storage, transport, and to facilitate the use of instruments, anesthetics, and supplies used during anesthesia procedures. These carts are usually constructed using materials that avoid build-up of static electrical charges (typically metals such as stainless steel). They usually include a multiple drawer or shelf/drawer cabinet-like structure, with an appropriate working top for placement of anesthetics, instruments, vials, or other small devices. Some carts include lockers, intravenous poles, oxygen holders, and electrical outlets. Anesthetic carts are used in the operating room during surgical procedures involving anesthesia; they include appropriate swivel casters (e.g., 3 or 4 inches wheels) for easy displacement.
