A system configured to support growth and development of a premature fetus is disclosed. Specifically, a method and apparatus configured to provide extracorporeal support for premature fetuses is disclosed.

Systems and method for positioning a neonate within an imaging device are provided. A capsule incubator, a cart, and a docking incubator are used to move a baby between an imaging device and a incubator, such that a baby can be imagined without having to move the baby from its environment.

A medical transporter apparatus and methods, involving: a frame; at least one side-rail operably coupled with the frame; at least one lift member operably coupled with the frame; at least one actuator operably coupled with the at least one lift member, the at least one actuator configured to adjust an elevation of the frame by actuating the at least one lift member; a docking mechanism operable with the frame for facilitating docking of the frame in relation to an imaging apparatus; and a weighing mechanism, the weighing mechanism being at least one of operably coupled with the frame and integrated with the frame, whereby a patient is weighable, and whereby elevation of the frame is electronically adjustable.

A patient support structure for assisting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment of a patient is described. The patient support structure includes a base frame, one or more patient support sections supported by the base frame, at least one tilt adjuster coupled to at least one of the patient support sections and configured to tilt the at least one of the patient support sections, around a transverse axis of the patient support structure, to a tilt angle, and a chest compression (CC) device mount disposed on at least one of the patient support sections and configured to adjustably secure a CC device to the patient support structure. The tilt angle may be a target tilt angle and the patient support structure may further include a processor configured to determine the target tilt angle based on at least one of sensor input and user input.

A novel enclosure is used to prevent health-care-associated infections caused by contamination of devices such as cellular telephones, laptops, tablet computers, purses, and briefcases. Such a device is placed into the enclosure and is carried into a disinfected or clean environment, such as an operating room. The enclosure prevents infectious agents or other contaminants on the surface of the device from contaminating the clean environment. The enclosure also protects the environments outside the operating room from contaminants within the operating room. The enclosure is inexpensively manufactured and disposable. The enclosure may include an effective amount of antibacterial, antifungal, and/or antiviral compounds. The enclosure may be used in the residence of an individual with a compromised immune system. The enclosure may be used to bring a device into and out of a home or room of an individual who is extremely neat or is inflicted with an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Described herein is a system including a patient support unit having a patient environment, a heating module, a sensor module, and a control system. The control system is configured to selectively operate the system in a pre-programmed cooling mode configured to disable the heating module while monitoring patient-specific data of the patient using the sensor module. Related apparatus, systems, methods and/or articles are described.

A resuscitation chamber apparatus for administering hyperbaric oxygen to a patient. More particularly, the present invention relates to a hyperbaric oxygen compatible critical care chamber apparatus preferably for use in emergency departments and/or prehospital ambulance management of patients. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus is a resuscitation monoplace hyperbaric chamber preferably used in critical care management of acutely ill or injured patients in prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) settings or in hospital emergency departments. The apparatus preferably allows a critical care shock or arrested patient to be pressurized preferably without compromise for application of best medical equipment, medications and human resuscitating intervention.
