HELP Rhydychen® has featured in many publications over the years as the definitive head elevation pillow for bariatric, obstetric and difficult airway patients.

draws attention to the key contribution that the HELP® makes to obstetric general anaesthesia: realigning the patients to an anatomical and physiologically optimal position. This realignment almost totally eliminates the fatal risks sometimes associated with this challenging group of patients.

The HELP® is especially significant in this clinical setting because of the unpredictability of obstetric emergencies, often experienced out of hours and by junior staff working at a distance from the main theatre department.

HELP Rhydychen® is a central clinical feature in many obstetric department’s clinical algorithms.
