Zusammenfassung:An intubation positioning device comprising a body, an alignment member and an inflation facilitating means. The body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces. The side surfaces are substantially triangular in configuration, such that the top surface and the bottom surface are substantially oblique to each other. Moreover, upon positioning the bottom surface upon an outer surface, the top surface extends angularly in an upward direction. The top surface, bottom surface and side surfaces cooperate to define an inflatable cavity. The alignment member includes a recess positioned within the top surface of the body. The inflation facilitating means is selectively placeable in fluid communication with the inflatable cavity. Inflation of the inflatable cavity of the body correspondingly facilitates the configuration of the body and the alignment member facilitating the receipt and retention of a portion of the head of a patient in a sniffing position.
