Apparatus and methods for providing therapeutic treatment for symptoms associated with GERD and/or other digestive disorders and/or other medical conditions are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a base support having a support element portion and an encasement portion. The support element portion has a first end portion, a second end portion and a top surface disposed at an angle relative to a bottom surface. The second end portion has a height greater than the first end portion. A support pillow member is fixedly coupled to the base support between at least a portion of the encasement portion and at least a portion the second end portion of the support element portion. The support pillow member, the support element portion and the encasement portion collectively define an interior region that includes a receiving portion configured to receive at least a portion of a user's arm therein.

The present disclosure relates to a support system for patients recovering from medical procedures, including from total knee replacement surgery. The disclosed system may include a foot support unit which supports a patient's feet, where the foot support may have leg grooves separated by a divider and a tapered height. The foot support may be placed in a patient's bed. Additionally hip support wedges may be placed beneath a patient's hip, where the hip supports provide the benefit of counteracting a leg's natural tendency to rotate outwards. The disclosed foot support and hip wedges promote proper alignment and in that way provide comfort and assist in recovery.

A system for assisting cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment of a patient includes a defibrillator system including a defibrillator communicatively coupled to a local computing device and configured to receive signals from treatment sensors, a patient support section, and a tilt adjuster coupled to the patient support section. The tilt adjuster is configured to communicatively couple with the defibrillator system, receive a control signal indicative of a target tilt angle from the local computing device, and automatically tilt the patient support section, around a transverse axis, to the target tilt angle in response to the control signal from the local computing device. The system also includes a chest compression device mount disposed on the patient support section and configured to adjustably secure a chest compression device to the patient support section.

A face cushion includes a hollow-out portion located at a central portion of the face cushion; an inflatable portion having an inner peripheral edge located adjacent to the hollow-out portion, an outer peripheral edge, and two slit edges located between the inner and the outer peripheral edge, with an area between the inner and the outer peripheral edge being divided into a first and a second air bag; a slit section formed between the two slit edges; and a plurality of inflating connections separately connected to the first and the second air bag. The first and the second air bag are inflated alternately with gas supplied from a gas supply device to the inflatable body via different pipelines at different time points to produce on the face cushion a facial configuration similar to a patient's face, allowing different parts of the patient's face to contact with the face cushion intermittently.

There is disclosed a patient restraint assembly including a head restraint configured to extend around the patient's head, at least one securement member (4) extending from the first end of the head restraint, and at least one securement member (5) extending from the second end of the head restraint, said securement members (4, 5) being configured to releasably secure said head restraint to a support table, an adjustment unit (15) to adjust the tension in the securement member(s) (4, 5), wherein adjustment of the adjustment unit (15) applies the same force simultaneously to the securement member(s) (4) at the first end and the securement member(s) (5) at the second end of the head restraint.
