Mobile medical cart

A medical cart for transporting medical supplies, the cart comprising:

• a chassis having a plurality of wheels attached thereto;
• a plurality of drawers supported on the chassis, wherein at least one of the drawers is slidable along a first axis toward the chassis to a closed orientation and slidable away from the chassis along the first axis to an open configuration;
• a plurality of drawer mounts disposed on interior surfaces of the chassis;
• a plurality of interchangeable drawer slides attached to the plurality of drawers and removably attachable to the plurality of drawer mounts so that the drawer slides may be placed on different mounts thereby allowing different-sized drawers to be mounted to the chassis;
• a scale drawer slidably operable along a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis;
• and
• a scale supported in the scale drawer for weighing materials to determine blood lost by a patient during a medical procedure, the scale having a weighing surface and a display.

A medical cart for transporting medical supplies, the cart comprising:

• a chassis having a plurality of wheels attached thereto;
• a plurality of drawers supported on the chassis, wherein at least one of the drawers is slidable along a first axis toward the chassis to a closed orientation and slidable away from the chassis along the first axis to an open configuration and has a drawer lock shiftable between a locked position in which it secures the drawer in the closed orientation and an unlocked position in which it allows the drawer to be in the open configuration;
• a plurality of drawer mounts disposed on interior surfaces of the chassis;
• a plurality of interchangeable drawer slides attached to the plurality of drawers and removably attachable to the plurality of drawer mounts so that the drawer slides may be placed on different mounts thereby allowing different-sized drawers to be mounted to the chassis;
• a temperature-regulated compartment having a storage space with a door, a lock shiftable between a locked position in which it prevents the door from opening and an unlocked position in which it allows the door to open, and a temperature-regulating unit that regulates a temperature of the storage space at a predetermined temperature;
• and
• a locking bar pivotally attached to the chassis and shiftable between a locked position in which it prevents opening of the drawers and the door of the temperature-regulated compartment and an unlocked position in which it allows the drawers to open when the drawer locks are in their unlocked positions and allows the door to open when the door lock is in its unlocked position so that the locking bar serves as a secondary safety lock for all the drawers and the door of the temperature-regulated compartment.
