A medical procedure facilitation system for use with a bed. The system has a pair of assist arms secured to the bed that may rotate in relation to the bed along a path of rotation. A spring assembly is connected to the assist arms for helping raise a patient's legs. Supportive thigh pads associated with the assist arms give support under the knees and thighs and adjust their angle to accommodate the size and position of the patient. Hand grips are mounted on the support arms that allow the patient to contribute to lifting forces.

An apparatus to remove liquid from a ventilation system can include a housing, a first port extending into an interior volume of the housing and a second port extending toward the first tube, into the interior volume, separated from the first port by a gap that is at least 5 mm in length, such that ventilating fluid transfers from the first port to the second while secretions and condensate escape through the gap, to be trapped in the housing. The first port joins with a ventilator. The second port joins with an intubation tube coupled to a tracheostomy or endotracheal tube. An extraction port is in a floor of the housing so that accumulated liquids in the housing can drain downward and out the extraction port, while minimizing positive end expiratory pressure loss in the ventilation system, and without exposing caregivers to biological material in the drained liquid.
