Lower the risk for your next difficult airway…
(Obese / Morbidly Obese / OSA Patients)

BAD AIRWAY POSITIONING

(6’0″ | 375 lbs patient)

AIRWAY AXES MISALIGNED ON HEAD CRADLE ONLY

GOOD AIRWAY POSITIONING

(same patient)

ON TROOP ELEVATION PILLOW + HEAD CRADLE AIRWAY AXES BEGINNING TO ALIGN

Troop Elevation Pillow – Disposable

Troop Elevation Pillow – Complete System

The Troop Elevation Pillow Quickly Achieves:

H.E.L.P. (Head Elevated Laryngoscopy Position)

This is a much improved “starting position” for airway management…a position of strength!

Why pay attention to positioning?

Do it for the obese patient:

  • Ease of breathing
  • Better pre-oxygenation
  • Good positioning compliments GEA & regional cases

Do it for the anesthesia provider:

  • Ease of breathing = less anxious obese patient
  • Better pre-02 = increased desaturation safety period
  • Easier to mask ventilate
  • Facilitates 1st pass successful intubation (good positioning compliments all forms of airway management – DL, Glidescope, Airtraq, etc.)

TEP = easy / stable / predictable (result)

  • Meant to replace a stack of blankets
  • “Blessing of the blankets” but today’s obese patients = a stack of unstable blankets

Just adjust the O.R. table:

  • Not good enough
  • The airway axes do not change
  • You cannot adjust the cystoscopy table
