Five Drawers, The Compact Adult Standard

Five drawer builds carry the standard adult code layout, drugs up top, airway next, lines and bulk below, in a cart short enough to move fast and see over. Units that run the classic layout without extended supplies land here, and the 16 builds below vary by platform, lock style and finish.

The Standard Floor Code Cart

Five drawers is the height most adult code standards actually fill, which makes this the default floor cart across the line: airway, breathing, circulation, medication and IV stock each holding a drawer in the committee’s order. Response zones across med surg and telemetry floors are typically covered at this height, sealed and checked on the unit’s schedule.

Standardizing At Five Drawers

Code response rewards uniformity above all: one drawer map, one seal procedure, one restock kit across every five drawer cart in the building, so a responder from any unit opens the right drawer first time. Confirm lock and seal compatibility with your checking procedure, and cardiac board and tank mounts per model. Federal and VA purchasers buy on the GSA contract.

The Five Drawer Cart On The Floor

On a nursing floor the five drawer cart lives parked at the station or alcove the response plan names, sealed, checked each shift, moved only for codes and checks. Everything about the build serves that life: the central lock and seal points for the checking procedure, the full drawer stack for the committee standard, the casters and push handle for the response run itself.

Pharmacy Trays And The Standard Cart

Most hospitals run exchange trays: pharmacy seals the medication tray, the tray drops into its assigned drawer, and expiration management happens in pharmacy rather than on the floor. Confirm the drawer dimensions against your tray system before standardizing, because tray fit is the one specification that cannot be adjusted after purchase. The desk checks tray dimensions against models at 877-706-4480.

Build Options Across The Five Drawer Line

The carts on this page span the practical build range: steel standard builds for maximum duty, lightweight carts that move faster on response runs, short and mini width chassis for tight zones, and tall standard width builds for deeper stock. Lock styles vary by model, breakaway lock builds for sealed code duty and lever lock builds where programs prefer them, and several ship with the emergency accessory package or IV pole already included. Material, dimensions, drawer configuration and pricing are listed per item, and shipping is quoted by destination at order. Quick ship models are flagged for facilities working against an opening date, and the medical supply desk confirms availability dates before a purchase order commits to one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in each drawer of a 5 drawer code cart?

The common pattern runs first-line drugs on top, airway second, then IV and lines, with bulk and backup low; the facility’s code committee layout is the authority.
