Spanish term or phrase: carro de parada
Hi,

I found a few hundred references to "cardiac arrest trolley", but (if correct) this seems to be British usage and I'm looking for the common U.S. term.

This particular part of the text refers to sedation in GI endoscopy units. There has been a survey showing the following results (UED stands for Unidad de Endoscopia Digestiva):

El 91% de las UED tienen carro de parada. Este porcentaje sube hasta el 96% de las UED que realizan sedación. El carro de parada se actualiza cada mes en el 45% de las UED, cada 6 meses en el 25%, cada año en el 10% y de forma aleatoria en el 20% restante

Thanks for your help!
