How many sur- gical suites do you have? What's your caseload like? What volume and types of drugs do you need to store? These questions will help you deter- mine whether you need a centralized sys- tem or could survive with a large cart. Finally, seek the input of your anesthesia providers. A wise manager heeds the wisdom of experienced users. And make sure all your users are adequately trained on whichever solution you choose.
