Abstract: The self-contained module for intensive care and resuscitation includes a detachable receiver table for sick and injured persons, medical assistance equipment and resuscitation equipment, and a footing furnished with ground-support members. The module is characterized in that it comprises a girder (1) which supports the different module units and the table, and which is supported in an adjustable manner above the ground, i.e. adjustable in height and/or inclination, by the footing, which is formed by at least two support legs (7) associated with the operating and guide means, which operating an guide means communicates to the support legs a folding-up or unfolding motion under the girder simultaneously or independently for each leg.
