A patient support structure for supporting a patient in a supine position for surgery and a method for use of the patient support structure is provided. The patient support structure includes at least a head support portion. The head support portion includes at least one base portion, a first arm portion, a second arm portion, and a head harness, where the first arm portion and the second arm portion are adjustable inwardly/outwardly and upwardly/downwardly, and the head harness is supported by the first arm portion and the second arm portion.

A device and method that facilitates performance of a jaw thrust maneuver. A base connected to a rack and pinion mechanism including at least one pinion rotatably attached to the base and at least two racks slidably attached to the base and engaged with the pinion to move in opposite directions upon rotation of at least one pinion. A pair of arms, each pivotably coupled to one of the racks to allow rotational freedom of motion. A patient's head is placed in supine position and a pair of arms slides towards the patient's head in synchrony to position the arms to clear the patient's airways.

Devices, systems and methods for patient stabilization are disclosed.

An anti-bedsore bed may comprise a bed unit, a first bed body, and a second bed body. The bed unit has a first mattress, and a bottom portion is coupled on a bottom surface thereof. Moreover, the bottom portion comprises a plurality of first supporting units at positions corresponding to a user's upper back, middle portion of back and lower back, and each of the first supporting units has a first sliding block moveably mounted on the bottom portion. Each of the first sliding blocks has a first supporting rod, and an abutting unit is pivotally connected to an upper end of the first supporting rod. Each of first power units secured on a bottom surface of the first sliding block is engaged with the first supporting rod while each of second power units secured on the bottom portion is engaged with the first sliding block.

A system for turning a patient supported on a patient support apparatus includes a U-shaped frame and a rectangular frame pivotably coupled to the U-shaped frame. The rectangular frame includes first and second sheet grippers configured to removeably couple a plurality of sheets to the system and secure the patient between the sheets. The rectangular frame, the sheets, and the patient are configured to rotate at least 180 degrees relative to the U-shaped frame after the U-shaped frame, the rectangular frame, the sheets, and the patient are raised at least a clearance distance above the patient support apparatus.

A surgical table comprising a base and a patient support supported between opposed ends of the base, each opposed end including a pitch/roll assembly. The base is configured such that the patient support can be rolled and pitched relative to the opposed ends via the pitch/roll assemblies such that the roll axis of each pitch/roll assembly remains coaxial regardless of how the patient support is pitched or rolled relative to the base. The patient support includes an outer frame and an inner frame supported on, and displaceable relative to, the outer frame. The inner frame is further articulating about, and relative to, itself. The outer frame is rigid in that it does not change configurations.

An arm support for a supine patient includes a support which can easily be attached to or removed from a standard medical table pad, and which supports the patient's forearms at an angle parallel to the body, with the biceps at right angles to the body. The arm support may include arm rests which may be slideably moved to accommodate patients with narrower or broader shoulder widths.

A post-surgical support member is configured to be placed a post-surgically between a supine patient and a support surface so as to isolate an anatomical load from a post-surgical wound against the support surface, the anatomical load produced by the weight of the supine patient.

There is proposed a head support apparatus, comprising a frame and an adjustable sling member. The frame including a base and at least two spaced apart upwardly extending side walls, the base being supportable on a patient receiving surface. The adjustable sling member configured to be reversibly attached to a head of a patient, wherein the sling member being reversibly couplable to the upwardly extending side walls of the frame to thereby support the head of the patient above the patient receiving surface. This allows a practitioner to check the patients eyes for anything pressing on them and to check the breathing tube for position, circuit disconnection, kinking or blockages, even when the patient is positioned in the prone orientation.

Devices, systems and methods for patient stabilization are disclosed.
