IVEA is an innovative, 4-wheeled mobile patient equipment management device to aid the in-hospital ambulation process by organizing and mobilizing patient equipment when the patient is ready to ambulate. IVEA, designed by nurses to improve mobility, safety, efficiency, and storability, can replace the traditional IV pole and be set up at a patient’s bedside ready to move when the patient is ready. As a mobile equipment management tool, IVEA organizes and secures supportive equipment such as IVs, infusion pumps, oxygen tank, chest tubes, urinary catheters, drainage devices, PCAs, and feeding tubes, and eliminates the need to transfer equipment from one device to another for patient ambulation. IVEA can be set up before the patient arrives to reduce prep time at arrival and remain set up for every time the patient ambulates. IVEA makes it possible for fewer clinical staff to safely ambulate a patient. When not in use, IVEA folds and stores easily to reduce clutter.
