An elevation device used in the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes a base and an upper support pivotably coupled to the base. The upper support is configured to elevate the individual's upper back, shoulders and head when pivoted. The upper support is expandable lengthwise. The upper support includes a neck support that is configured to support the individual's spine in a region of the individual's C7 and C8 vertebrae throughout elevation of the upper back, shoulders and head.

The present invention is directed to an adjustable height medical procedure table that can be moved between a first low position and second high position by a scissors lift. The table includes various features to prevent collisions when the table moved to the first low position.

A radiation monitoring system includes a patient support apparatus. A radiation sensor assembly is operably coupled to the patient support apparatus. The radiation sensor assembly includes a radiation sensor and a first controller. The radiation sensor senses radiation data corresponding to a radiation dose received by a patient. A management system includes a second controller that stores a patient profile database. The second controller is communicatively coupled with the first controller. The first controller communicates the radiation data to the second controller for storage in the patient profile database to monitor the radiation dose received by the patient.

Floating electromagnetic field generator systems and methods are provided. The system comprises a surgical bed portion. The system also comprises a brace component disposed within the surgical bed portion. Additionally, the system comprises a first arm that is attached to the brace component. The first arm is positioned adjacent to the surgical bed portion. Additionally, the first arm has at least one field generator coil embedded therein. The system also comprises a second arm that is attached to the brace component. The second arm is positioned adjacent to the surgical bed portion. Additionally, the second arm has at least one field generator coil embedded therein. The second arm is positioned parallel to the first arm.

An operating table includes a column, a hydraulic unit positioned in the column, and a patient supporting surface connected to the column. The operating table also includes a first pair of hydraulic cylinders for adjusting a portion of the supporting surface relative to a remainder of the supporting surface, and the supporting surface is hydraulically connected to the hydraulic unit only by a single supply line and a single return line extending between the supporting surface and the hydraulic unit.

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.

A surgery table utilizing first and second sections which are hingedly attached to one another. First and second sections are also connected to supports apart from the hinged portion. An elevator moves one of the sections upwardly and downwardly at the support. The resultant position of the frame formed by the first and second sections may take the configuration of a flat surface or an upwardly or downwardly oriented “V”.
