  • Publication number: 20170252250
    Abstract: An improved active head/shoulder and neck positioning device for positioning a patient undergoing endotracheal intubation, including: (1) a horseshoe-shaped torso support bladder adapted to be positioned underneath the torso of a patient that provides added stability, (2) a head support bladder affixed to a top surface of the torso support bladder, (3) at least one source of compressed air, and (4) a combined joystick/controller for selectively conducting pressurized air from the source to the torso support bladder and the head support bladder. The torso support bladder expands as it is inflated and it can be vented to an atmosphere for deflation. The head support bladder is positioned for placement beneath the patient's head, and it is operative to elevate the patient's head as the head support bladder is inflated and the headrest thereby expands. The at least one source of compressed air is in fluid communication with the torso support bladder and the head support bladder.
