Abstract

An inexpensive, disposable tray for anesthesiological use is formed with a central compartment for receiving the patient's head, preferably on a supporting cushion, and arrangements of compartments and recesses on opposite sides of the central compartment to hold specific instruments and medications used during anesthesia in an ordered array according to the sequence in which such articles are employed. The tray is dimensioned to fit across the end of an operating table. Projections along one edge support a suction tube and a manometer.
