For disaster situations, if we should we need to expand beyond our standard critical care beds, we have put together bedside kits (based on a colleague’s plan at the Royal London trauma center). There are 20 adult and 10 peds (age <8) bins. They are stored in a closet that is next to all of the disaster rooms and equipment.
