A medical supply unit with a height-adjustable connection head, e.g., in the form of a ceiling-mounted supply unit or ceiling lamp, is able to receive a working device, e.g., an anesthesiological apparatus, while ensuring reliable coupling for this purpose, so that the user will be able to perform a procedure reliably, with the working device being correctly connected. This is made possible by a coupling part 34 equipped with guide faces 35, with which a receiving part 14 engages, which is provided with complementarily extending receiving jaws 15 and which actuates--in the case of correctly fitting engagement--electrical contacts 18, such that the control elements 10 provided on a control panel 9 for height adjustment of the connection head 1 and/or for supplying the working device 30 with the media needed for operation are released. |

The self-contained module for intensive care and resuscitation includes a detachable receiver table for sick and injured persons, medical assistance equipment and resuscitation equipment, and a footing furnished with ground-support members. The module is characterized in that it comprises a girder (1) which supports the different module units and the table, and which is supported in an adjustable manner above the ground, i.e. adjustable in height and/or inclination, by the footing, which is formed by at least two support legs (7) associated with the operating and guide means, which operating an guide means communicates to the support legs a folding-up or unfolding motion under the girder simultaneously or independently for each leg. |

A selectively transportable equipment support system is provided for operative association with an invalid transport vehicle such as a hospital bed. The system includes a transport bracket for selective secured association with a hospital bed or a service column. Various patient care items are secured to the transport bracket. Such items preferably comprise infusion pumps with associated fluid bags that are typically transported with the patients and employed in surgical rooms or intensive care units. The transport bracket includes a pivot post for reception in a service column latching assembly which allows pivotable movement of the transport bracket when it is secured to a service column support arm. The service columns are pneumatically powered for powered lifting and positioning of the transport bracket. |

The present invention relates to a portable, self-contained, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) providing heating (or cooling) for the patient by controlled exchange of thermal energy between a transparent enclosure that houses the infant and an internal reservoir. The invention has no requirement for electrical power. The internal reservoir utilizes water that is heated (or cooled) by an external source. The micro-environment inside the transparent enclosure for the infant and the water inside the internal reservoir are thermally and acoustically isolated in order to minimize heat and sound exchange with the ambient environment. |

Monitoring of infants in an incubator may use cameras to measure vital signs and other medical parameters, including oxygen saturation of arterial blood. However, the images obtained by these cameras suffer from a reduced signal-to-noise ratio due to specular reflectance from light reflecting off the skin of the infant. By including radiation scattering structures within the incubator walls and light sources arranged along the edges of the incubator walls, diffuse illumination may be achieved, specular reflectance may be reduced, and the above-mentioned adverse affects on the signal-to-noise ratio of the camera images may be avoided and/or reduced. |
