The cardiac patient support comprises a flat, rigid, horizontal base having an overlying torso support pivotally associated with a lower end area of said base and limitedly adjustable angularly upwardly in relation to the latter to effect and maintain a desired degree of suspension of a patient's head with reference to the patient's torso, with the patient's head extending beyond and clear of the upper end of the torso support. The disclosed means for effecting and maintaining such angular adjustment comprises a chin band and a forehead band, and a pair of manually operable screw knobs working on non-rotatable threaded studs adjacent to the upper end and opposite sides of the torso support. The screw knobs are freely turnable in bearing openings in the torso support. Also disclosed is an adjustable prop for elevating the torso support to hold the patient in a sitting posture; a novel, separable head rest being provided for use when the prop is being employed. An additional disclosed feature is a slidable leg support which can readily be changed from an inoperative position to a position in which it supports a patient's legs.
