The EleGARD 3.0 Patient Positioning System is a portable tool designed to elevate a patient’s head and thorax. It can be used to help maintain the sniffing position.There are three different adjustable head and neck angle positions. The EleGARD can be used whenever elevation of the head and thorax is clinically indicated,including during CPR and patient transport.The EleGARD can be used during manual CPR, manual active compression decompression CPR (ResQCPR™ System), and CPR with the LUCAS® ChestCompression System or ARM XR Automated Chest Compressor.
A preformed patient-contact device (e.g., cushion, pad, bolster, wedge, elevation pillow) designed to be placed freely on a flat surface (e.g., operating table, stretcher) to position and stabilize a patient or body part typically in preparation for and during various medical procedures [e.g., to align the head, neck and thorax to optimise laryngoscopy in anaesthesia]; it is not attached to a parent device. It is made of shock-absorbing materials (e.g., memory foam) to reduce pressure on the bony prominences of a body part (e.g., torso, arm, leg), and some types are inflatable to provide variable support (e.g., to level the spine in a lateral position). This is a reusable device.
