Abstract

La présente invention concerne une trousse de démarrage de ligne intraveineuse utilisée par un professionnel de la médecine pour démarrer une ligne intraveineuse chez un patient pour introduire des médicaments et/ou des fluides directement dans l'organisme du patient ou pour prélever des fluides chez un patient. La trousse de démarrage de ligne intraveineuse comporte un boîtier souple repliable entre au moins une configuration fermée et une configuration ouverte. Le boîtier peut comprendre une pluralité d'espaces de réception configurés pour recevoir des articles et/ou des équipements médicaux utilisés pour le démarrage d'une ligne intraveineuse. Les espaces de réception peuvent également recevoir et stocker des déchets, par exemple, des articles médicaux usagés ou l'emballage des articles médicaux. Le boîtier peut également comporter une ou plusieurs sangles servant à la fixation amovible du boîtier à une structure fixe, par exemple, une civière roulante. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant de démarrer une ligne intraveineuse chez un patient au moyen d'une trousse de démarrage de ligne intraveineuse.
