A simple and compact device permits a single rescuer to quickly place a prone patient's airway in an optimal, open configuration. The device consists of a reversibly collapsed neck support that can rapidly be placed underneath the neck of an unconscious patient lying prone on his back. The collapsed support can be inflated to returned it to a not collapsed state for elevating a portion of the patient's neck. The support is shaped to come to an apex so that the pressure is applied to a restricted region of the neck. When gentle elevating pressure is applied to a small region of the neck, the neck “fulcrums” with the head remaining in contact with the ground and the free portion of the neck being elevated. This results in the optimum extension to open the airway without having to pull on the patient's jaw. Once the airway is open, it is relatively simple to place a tight fitting resuscitation mask over the patient's mouth.

A hip and pelvic splint system is designed to immobilize both the pelvic region and lower extremities of a patient suffering from a hip or pelvic fracture. This allows ready transport of the patient with little or no pain or additional injury caused by shifting of the hip or pelvis. The device consists of a foam leg insert that is first placed between the legs of a patient to help stabilize the patient's lower extremities. A flexible splint component is then slid beneath the patient's lets and hips. The splint component is then closed over the patient and tightened with straps. The lower edge of splint component is secured snuggly about the legs in the vicinity of the patient's knees so that the foam leg insert can immobilize the legs. The upper edge of the splint is secured snuggly about the upper abdomen, thereby immobilizing the pelvis. Hand holds on the device allow paramedics to lift the patient without distorting the fracture.

An improved head immobilizer comprises a head support position for placement beneath an injured patient's head, two head support blocks and a forehead strap. The head support cushion is located beneath the head of a patient on a backboard. After the head support cushion is optimally positioned in reference to the patient, an adhesive system is activated to affix the cushion to the backboard. The head support blocks are placed on either side of the patient's head to immobilize it and are held in position by a hook in loop fastening system. Finally, a forehead strap is stretched from on block to the other across the patient's forehead to more completely immobilize the patient. The strap also uses a hook in loop fastener to attach to the head support blocks.
