Abstract: A neonatal pneumothorax decompression device is disclosed. The device comprises a needle stabilizer, a pressure indicator, and a fluid evacuation pump. The needle stabilizer is configured to facilitate insertion of the needle into a subject's pleural cavity and to hold a needle at an adjustable length. The pressure indicator is coupled to the proximal end of the needle stabilizer and is configured to visibly display pressure within the subject's pleural cavity. The fluid evacuation pump is configured to be actuated by a user to evacuate air or fluid from the subject's pleural cavity through the needle. The fluid evacuation pump is proximally coupled to the pressure indicator and the needle stabilizer.

Abstract: A medicament delivery device (“MDD”) having a delivery tube and a laryngeal mask having an anterior patient-contacting surface. In some embodiments of the invention, the laryngeal mask has an epiglottis-holding ridge. In some embodiments of the invention, the laryngeal mask has a cuff-portion providing at least a portion of an anterior patient-contacting surface, the cuff-portion being shaped and positioned to create a side-groove facing away from the anterior patient-contacting surface. In some embodiments of the invention, the laryngeal mask has a plurality of ridges on a posterior-side of the laryngeal mask opposite the anterior patient-contacting surface (the “posterior-side ridges”), the posterior-side ridges being shaped and positioned relative to the anterior patient-contacting surface so as to push against the patient and thereby push the anterior patient-contacting surface against the patient.

Abstract: Methods of delivering medicament and a medicament delivery device (“MDD”) are described. Such an MDD may have a laryngeal mask configured to fit against a patient at an area surrounding the patient's laryngeal inlet, and thereby cover a laryngeal inlet of the patient, and a delivery tube having interior wall surfaces defining a medicament channel. Medicament may be conveyed via the medicament channel toward the laryngeal mask. The MDD may have at least two gas channels. The gas channels may be in gas-communication with the laryngeal mask.

Abstract: A care unit can include a base member and a plurality of petal members. Each petal member can extend from a first end, engaged with the base member, to a second end, spaced from the base member. Inward-facing surfaces of at least two petal members and the base member can collectively define a cavity for receiving at least a portion of the patient. The care unit can further include one or both of a therapy component, configured to provide a treatment to the patient, or a sensor component, configured to monitor a condition of the patient. The therapy component can be coupled to, or integrated with, one or both of the base member or a petal member and can include an optical light source, a thermal energy source, an oxygen or air source, a sound wave source, a sound wave-cancelling source, or a pulsating source, for example.

Abstract: A laryngoscope includes a blade having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein a blade includes a curved portion adjacent the distal end, a housing within the blade adjacent the curved portion, a light source positioned within the housing, and a handle adjacent the proximal end.

Abstract: Care units and related methods providing a comfortable environment for a patient are disclosed. A care unit can include a base member and a plurality of petal members.
