Pi Positioning Bariatric Pillow

Description

The Pi Positioning Bariatric Pillow is designed to make the laryngeal inlet more easily visible during airway management, improving first-pass success and reducing unnecessary force during intubation. By elevating and aligning the head, neck, and upper torso, the Pi intubation ramp eliminates the need to aggressively lift the chin with the laryngoscope. This anatomically optimized wedge positioning pillow promotes a safer, more controlled intubation experience while helping to reduce airway tissue trauma and provider fatigue.

The Pi medical pillow creates an ideal “sniffing” position, improving glottic exposure across a wide range of patients, including bariatric and obese populations. Proper positioning is critical in these cases, where excess tissue and chest mass can significantly limit visualization and compromise oxygenation.

The Pi Bariatric Intubation Pillow and Ramp are specifically engineered to support obese and bariatric patients, aiding in mask ventilation and allowing for easier laryngoscopic view and endotracheal intubation while maintaining patient oxygen saturation. Elevating the upper body helps move the mass of the chest away from the plane of laryngoscope movement, creating more working space and improving airway alignment.

As noted by Barash (2006):

“The obese patient needs further positioning to move the mass of the chest away from the plane across which the laryngoscope handle will sweep as it is manipulated into the mouth.”

The Pi Bariatric Positioning System addresses this challenge directly, providing a reliable, repeatable solution for safer airway management in high-risk patients.
