An obstetric hemorrhage cart for diagnosing, tracking, and treating obstetric hemorrhaging, the cart comprising:

• a chassis having a base, a top opposing the base, a first side wall extending between the top and the base, a second side wall opposing the first side wall, a front wall extending between the first and second side walls, and a back wall opposing the front wall;
• a plurality of wheels attached to the chassis at the base;
• a plurality of drawer mounts mechanically attached to the first side wall and the second side wall;
• a plurality of supply drawers, each supply drawer slidably attached to at least one of the drawer mounts;
• at least one drawer lock shiftable between a locked position preventing at least one of the supply drawers from opening and an unlocked position allowing at least one of the supply drawers to open;
• a cooling apparatus comprising:
• a storage compartment with a cooling apparatus door,
• a cooling apparatus door lock shiftable between a locked position preventing the cooling apparatus door from opening and an unlocked position allowing the cooling apparatus door to open, and
• refrigerating components that cool a temperature of the storage compartment to a predetermined temperature;
• a locking bar pivotally attached to the chassis and shiftable between a blocking orientation preventing opening of the supply drawers and the cooling apparatus door and a non-blocking orientation allowing the supply drawers and the cooling apparatus door to open, wherein the locking bar is selectively lockable in the blocking orientation;
• a scale drawer slidable into the chassis at the first side wall or the second side wall of the chassis in a closed position and slidable out of the first side wall or the second side wall of the chassis in an open position;
• a medical scale mounted in the scale drawer and including a weighing surface and a scale display, wherein the scale drawer includes a transparent sidewall or window through which the scale display is viewable by a person facing the front of the chassis when the scale drawer is in the open position;
• an open-topped enclosure removably attached to the weighing surface of the scale for receiving materials to be weighed by the scale;
• a positionable task light attached to the chassis and having a jointed, adjustable light stand and at least one light bulb attached to the light stand;
• and
• a portable power supply electrically coupled to the cooling apparatus, the scale, and the task light, wherein the portable power supply is a rechargeable uninterruptible power supply.

An obstetric hemorrhage cart for diagnosing, tracking, and treating obstetric hemorrhaging, the cart comprising:

• a chassis having a base, a top surface opposing the base and composed of an antimicrobial material, a first side wall extending between the top surface and the base, a second side wall opposing the first side wall, a front wall extending between the first and second side walls, and a back wall opposing the front wall;
• a plurality of wheels attached to the chassis at the base;
• a handle attached to the chassis and configured for pushing or pulling the chassis, thus causing rotation of the wheels engaged with a floor for transport of the chassis;
• a plurality of drawer mounts mechanically attached to the first side wall and the second side wall and reconfigurable along a height of the first side wall and the second side wall;
• a plurality of supply drawers, each supply drawer slidably attached to at least one of the drawer mounts, wherein each of the supply drawers include a drawer lock shiftable between a locked position preventing one of the supply drawers from opening and an unlocked position allowing one of the supply drawers to open;
• a cooling apparatus comprising:
• a storage compartment with a cooling apparatus door shiftable between an open position and a closed position,
• a cooling apparatus door lock shiftable between a locked position preventing the cooling apparatus door from opening and an unlocked position allowing the cooling apparatus door to open, and
• refrigerating components that cool a temperature of the storage compartment to a predetermined temperature;
• a locking bar pivotally attached to the chassis and shiftable between a blocking orientation simultaneously preventing opening of the supply drawers and the cooling apparatus door and a non-blocking orientation allowing the supply drawers and the cooling apparatus door to open, wherein the locking bar is selectively lockable in the blocking orientation;
• a scale drawer slidable into the chassis at the first side wall or the second side wall of the chassis to a closed position and slidable out of the first side wall or the second side wall of the chassis to an open position;
• a medical scale mounted in the scale drawer and including a weighing surface and a scale display, wherein the scale drawer includes a transparent sidewall or window through which the scale display is viewable by a person facing the front of the chassis when the scale drawer is in the open position;
• an open-topped enclosure removably attached to the weighing surface of the scale for receiving materials to be weighed by the scale;
• a disposable hazardous waste bag attached to the open-topped enclosure and sized and configured to substantially surround a majority of the scale drawer when the scale drawer is open;
• a positionable task light attached to the chassis and having a jointed, adjustable light stand and at least one light bulb attached to the light stand;
• a portable power supply mounted within the chassis and behind at least one of the supply drawers, wherein the portable power supply is electrically coupled to at least one of the cooling apparatus, the scale, and the task light, wherein the portable power supply is a rechargeable uninterruptible power supply;
• a power strip of outlets mounted to the back wall of the chassis and electrically coupled to the portable power supply;
• an IV pole fixed to the chassis and having a height adjustment mechanism;
• and
• an electronic display physically coupled to the IV pole or the chassis and electrically coupled to the portable power supply, wherein the electronic display is configured to communicably couple with a portable ultrasound machine.
