PY - 2016 T2 - Improvised Medicine: Providing Care in Extreme Environments, 2e AB - A headrest for head and neck surgery can be fashioned from foam packing material (Styrofoam) or a piece of foam cushion or mattress. Use a 25 cm × 25 cm × 10 cm piece and hollow out the middle so that it is only one-third of the original depth. This space is for the patient’s head. The foam material will provide traction to keep it in place on the operating room (OR) table.1 This headrest can also be used as a sleeping pillow if the individual needs, or wants, to be only on his or her back.
