Sheesh.. that's like saying I am buying a car.. what should i buy?..

There is so much to consider.. the first thing to do is write a good RFP.. see if you can find a few good RFPs on the web that others have done. Then there are some sites that have comparisons of equipment.. and others like MDbuyline who you can pay a fee to.

I mean.. to try and answer this in here... would be crazy. If you want you can leave me your e-mail adress and i can give you a few places to go

sorry i guess i should have been more specific.

We already have the scanner in place its a ge 8 slice lightspeed. Nice and new!

I already know what to order as far as ivs contrast etc...

I guess what i am getting at is for the actual risk of contrast reaction.. is there a requirement that the crash cart have certain drugs... and or a defib machine. We are an outpt facility.
