An apparatus for the relative positioning of the upper body, neck, and head of infants and young children for airway management and resuscitation. The apparatus is comprised of a support platform with a plurality of cylinders of various diameters which are secured beneath the platform and may be positioned so as to adjust the platform to the proper angle and elevation for the youth laid thereon. A pair of strips of hook and loop fastener are affixed to the lower surface of the platform which cooperate with a pair of bands of hook and loop fastener affixed around the cylinders. A mat is movably secured to the upper surface of the support platform and may secure an x-ray plate to permit the use of a portable x-ray machine for viewing possible lung collapse and the proper insertion of endotracheal tubes.
