Abstract:
Apparatus and methods related to an underbody support for supporting a body of a being, such as during surgery to prevent contact pressure injuries. In certain embodiments, the underbody support may include one or more inflatable chambers enclosing a volume. At least one of the inflatable chambers may include one or more compression sensitive switches for monitoring the volume of the inflatable chamber, and the one or more compression sensitive switches may be located within the inflatable chamber. In some embodiments the one or more compression sensitive switches are sized to close when the said inflatable chamber is deflated to a desired residual volume.

Claim (Index 6):
The underbody support of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the compression sensitive switches is coupled to a base layer of the underbody support distal from a patient support surface of the underbody support, at least one of the compression sensitive switches further comprising one or more compressible foam layers attached to the side of the electrically conductive material that is opposite the compressible switch layer;\n wherein a combined thickness of the one or more compressible foam layers and the compressible switch layer determines a distance between the patient and the base layer when the at least one compression sensitive switch closes; wherein the said distance between the patient and the base layer correlates with the volume of the inflatable chamber.
