| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a full body support for an infant which automatically aligns the oropharyngeal, laryngeal and tracheal axes of the infant head and neck for airway management. The support includes a first cushion and a second cushion, the first cushion having a head-receiving opening, a body-receiving opening and a neck-supporting surface to extend the neck of the infant. The second cushion is disposed beneath the first cushion and provides a head-supporting surface and a body-supporting surface within the head-receiving opening and body-receiving opening, respectively. When an infant is properly positioned on the support, the airway axes of the infant head and neck are automatically opened and aligned for airway management. The support may also be used to provide general comfort to an infant resting thereon during any type of pre- or post-operative care. |
