Examples of needed equipment include wheelchairs (manual and electric), hospital beds, ventilators, oxygen and oxygen concentrators (and accessories), C-PAP continuous airway pressure devices, powered suction pumps, nebulizers, glucose monitors, traction equipment, canes, crutches, walkers, pressure mattresses, lifts, infusion and feeding pumps, as well as types of medical support needed for people injured during an incident.
