Abstract: A head frame for a medical patient includes support for a probe and a neck support. The frame wraps around the head of the patient and can be used in the supine position. The support may include a probe holder slidable under the head and configured to contact or engage the neck support. In some embodiments, conformal shaping to the head and/or neck of the patient, the frame's rigid construction, the alignment of the optionally separable holder to the neck support, the weight of the head, or a combination thereof serve to keep the distal tip of the ultrasound probe in place against the temporal region of the head without need for attaching the frame to the head as by straps, which may provide an arrangement robust against patient/vehicle movement in an emergency medical services setting.

Abstract: According to one aspect, there is provided a device (4) for providing supplemental oxygen to a subject (8), the device (4) comprising a subject interface (10) through which the subject (8) can inhale; a container (12) that has a first outlet (18) connected to the subject interface (10) to allow gas with an elevated oxygen level stored in the container (12) to be inhaled by the subject (8), a first inlet (24), and a material (15) for removing a specific gas from air passing through the container (12) to increase the oxygen content of the air passing through the container (12); and an air blower (14) that is connected to the first inlet (24) of the container (12) and that is configured to supply air into the container (12) as the subject (8) uses the device (4).

Abstract: A head frame is configured for the head of a medical patient (108) and includes support for a probe and a neck support. The frame wraps around said head, and can be used in the supine position. The support may include a probe holder (116) slidable under the head and to contact or engage the neck support. In some embodiments, conformal shaping to the head and/or neck, the frame's rigid construction, the alignment of the optionally separable holder to the neck support (110), and weight of the head all serve to keep the distal tip of the ultrasound probe in place against the temporal region of the head, without need for attaching the frame to the head as by straps, providing an arrangement robust against patient/vehicle movement in an emergency medical services setting. Head immobilizing walls may be folded away (316) in some versions, retaining probe alignment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for adapting the delivery of information to a user, the system comprising: an information receiving mechanism arranged to receive patient information comprising a plurality of information units and at least one sequence for delivering the plurality of information units to the user, wherein each information unit is at least one of instructional and informational information, and in the sequence each information unit is associated with at least one of a time window for delivering the information unit and a priority score representing the priority for delivering the information unit; an information delivering mechanism arranged to deliver a first information unit in a first sequence to the user via a delivery platform; a feedback receiving mechanism arranged to receive feedback corresponding to the delivered information unit; a feedback evaluation mechanism arranged to calculate a feedback score for the received feedback; a processing mechanism arranged to compare the feed
