An
infant is born with a pulse of less than 60 and no
respirations. According to the American Academy of
Pediatrics Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), you
should be completed with bag mask ventilation, intubation,
and cardiac compression within 2 minutes so you can
begin to deliver epinephrine and volume. |
|
 |
A team of nurses
and a neonatologist created the Kangaroo Board to create
a tool that would
give medical professionals an organized system for
storage and quick access to all equipment and drugs
necessary
for the first 10 minutes of infant resuscitation. |
|
|
|
| Saves
Time = Lives |
No more
digging around a resuscitation crash cart
with multiple compartments. All resuscitation
equipment and all drugs are right at your
fingertips. Stop wasting time searching
for what you need - it's all on the Kangaroo
Board.
|
 |
| Mobile |
Transport
all the equipment you need for infant resuscitation
with ease. With the Kangaroo Board, all
of the important supplies you need are
clearly labeled and stored. The board folds
up and is closed with flaps and can be
transported to any area fast and efficiently. |
|
| Improved Inventory Management |
Your
team will have perfect visibility as to
what equipment and drugs are missing from
the Kangaroo Board. With clear labels on
all compartments and clips, you will easily
see what you have and what you need. Don't
start a resuscitation without everything
you need ever again. The Kangaroo Board
will keep your team always ready and prepared. |
|
| Enhanced Offsite Capabilities |
Now
you have instant availability of all equipment
and drugs when your resuscitation team
responds to an area not setup for newborn
resuscitation. Don't be caught in other
offsite areas that do not have the equipment
you need - bring the Kangaroo Board and
always be prepared. |
|
| Fiscally Sound |
Stop
throwing away suction and ventilation equipment.
With the Kangaroo Board, equipment and
drugs are ready for use and can be kept
clean off the resuscitation field - this
prevents you from discarding equipment
that can be used again. Also, since the
Kangaroo Board is portable, you no longer
have to stock as many rooms with equipment
and drugs. This leads to less overall discard
and waste. |
|
| Conforms to new JCAHO
Standards |
Conforms
to JCAHO requirements of MM. 2.30 that
states that all emergency medications must
be in a locked room or under constant surveillance.
Kangaroo Board Version 2 comes with 3
locking loops. The Kangaroo Board allows for safe storage
and transport of this equipment.
“Over 500
hospitals in the US currently agree that
every delivery &
resuscitation team in the country should
be using the Kangaroo Board..”
