Abstract

A hospital support cart for supporting intravenous fluid dispensing systems includes a rectangular frame having a lower base with multiple corners and an upper table with a work surface thereon spaced above the base, the base and the work surface provide generally rectangular periphery. The work surface table provides X and Y axes that intersect at the center of the table work surface and which respectively bisect two parallel sides of the work surface. Each of the axes is parallel to two sides of the table work surface. A plurality of telescoping fluid container support poles are supported by the frame each being vertically oriented and including at least two poles being placed on opposite sides of the Y axis and at least one pole that is placed on one side of the X axis. The frame is preferably wheeled so that the apparatus can be moved about a hospital room or the like.
