Embodiment Construction

[0053] The main elements of a head restraint assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention and their coordinate system references are shown in FIG. 2 , and their related functions are provided in Table 1 .

[0054] Table 1, Major Components of the Head Support Assembly

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] • The headrest supports the patient's head at an angle of approximately 15° between the plane of the face and the horizontal.

[0058] The head lifter can raise (rise) or lower (fall) the coordinate Z HS , which about Z HS Axis from 0" to 6" raises or lowers the patient's head and neck respectively.

[0059] · The head support can be about as in Figure 5 The device shown in the X HS axis, raises or lowers the patient's atlanto-occipital joint angle from +5° to 0° to -35°.

[0060] The headrest is on the top of the head lifter, which is composed of a ring pad, a track and a headrest lock. The ring pad is used to provide a comfortable and proper head position ...

Abstract

A device for use with an OR table for supporting a patient's head in a sniff position has a support assembly including a base and patient head support for mounting to an end of an OR table; a pneumatic or mechanical jack, or an expandable bellows, supporting the patient head support for raising or lowering the patient's head relative to the base; a rotatable axis allowing for flexion and extension of the neck; and a mounting assembly for mounting the support assembly to the end of the operating table.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in patient positioning devices and to head supports to help maintain an airway when the patient is unconscious and unable to maintain an airway, or when sedated and / or anesthetized. In another aspect, the invention relates to a positioning device for assisting in maintaining an airway when a patient is unconscious and unable to maintain an airway, or when sedated and / or anesthetized. Background technique [0002] Over the past few decades, the number of anesthesia care (MAC) cases has increased dramatically (millions are performed each year), and unfortunately, so has the number of airway complications leading to death and brain injury. Sedative medications are used in MAC cases, thereby limiting the amount of physical and psychological pain a patient may experience. However, these sedative drugs may cause relaxation of the muscles that help keep the airways open. Relaxation of these muscles can then lead...
