    摘要: A positioning system is provided that effectively engage the patient's neck/shoulder area so as to enable the caudally migration of the patient's neck/shoulder(s). An instance of the system includes a puller member for engaging a patient's neck/shoulder area and applying a pulling force thereupon. A support member is provided that is joined to the pulling member at a location away from where the engagement portion of the pulling member contacts the patient during normal use. The support member and the joining thereto are operational to enable the pulling member to adjustably maintain a substantially fixed vertical elevation that aligns the engagement portion of the pulling member to effectively engage the patient's neck/shoulder area; and, the support member also has a variable shuttle member that is adjustably joined to a guide member for adjusting the removable joining position of the support member along a length of a guide member. This guide member is configured to have a substantially parallel orientation relative to a longitudinal axis of the engagement portion of the pulling member such that the pulling member is operable for being positioned relative to the patient and effectively engage the patient's neck/shoulder area so as to enable the caudally migration of the patient's neck/shoulder(s). A method for using the apparatus is also included.

    摘要: This invention is a self-contained isolation, and environmental protection life support system (10) for shielding a patient contained therein, or alternatively isolating a contaminated patient from a clean environment while allowing treatment of traumatic injuries to the patient. The system comprises the combination of an environmental control system (ECS) (11) and a containment enclosure (14) that are designed to function in concert with conventional life support stretcher. The ECS component possesses an air management system that is designed configured to extract contaminated particles, gas from the external air, and deliver the same to the patient contained within the containment enclosure. To facilitate such delivery, the containment enclosure is preferably provided with a plurality of tubular passages (48) which are designed to be filled with air provided by the ventilator system to thus cause the containment enclosure to expand to form a semi rigid structure. A multiplicity of apertures are formed upon the tubular passages that causes the purified air to pass therethrough, and wash over the patient in a head to toe direction such that rapid removal of toxic residues is facilitated.
