Accident and Emergency Resuscitation
Resus Brandon Equipment Package
Resuscitation equipment, planning, and design solutions
The accident and emergency room is the last place where anyone wants to find themselves, but also the place where everyone hopes their life or loved ones’ lives will be saved.
The highest intensity area within Accident and Emergency is the resuscitation area, commonly referred to as Trauma or Resus; this is where injured or very ill patients will be dealt with.
The clinical team – usually one physician and a couple of trauma and advanced cardiac life support training – needs to be able to rely on life-saving equipment which cannot fail.
Patients arrive by ambulance connected to mobile ventilators and infusions, which will need to be transferred to the lines and ventilator on the medical supply pendant.
360 nursing means the equipment package needs to be a more flexible system with the best fit operating lighting.
The Resus areas equipping projects require an individual approach, with design constraints of any given building.
Brandon Medical’s approach is to make the equipment work with the building rather than offering an “off-the-shelf package.”.

The Operating Theatre of Tomorrow: Designing for Uncertainty, Not Assumptions
Walk into an operating theatre early in the morning and you’ll often find the ultraclean ventilation running at full speed, with no patient and no staff in the room. It is a system designed for the worst case and run as if the worst case were always happening.
In this article, Richard McAuley, National Specification Manager at Brandon Medical, looks at how NHS estates teams can design theatres for a 20 to 30 year lifespan without knowing exactly what will happen inside them. He covers the space robotic surgery needs and the connectivity that 4K imaging and AI require. He makes the case for open protocols and modular infrastructure over proprietary lock-in. He also explains how sensors built into the surgical light can monitor air quality, surgical smoke and noise, and allow ventilation to scale back when a theatre is empty.
Most of the theatres that will be in use in 2040, the NHS net-zero target year, are already standing. McAuley argues that intelligent retrofit, not rebuilding, is the realistic way forward.
