The Most Important Features of CPR Manikins

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation shortly known as CPR is the procedure to perform specific tasks near the chest region to save people from a heart attack or sudden trauma. The CPR is a very critical task because it could either save or kill the patient in a matter of seconds.

There are many tasks when it comes to CPR Provide first step is chest compression, second is Mouth to mouth resuscitation and third step is given when the patient has not recovered from the other two stages. The defibrillator only provides immediate treatment to bring the human back to the world, or else there are many chances that the patient could go to a comatose state or might lose their life.

Many colleges from various industries are given training on CPR to save people from heart strokes and other critical cases for heart and brain failure. Only a professional who is trained on the CPR could save them from dying.

To perform CPR training, there is a need for live human beings. But CPR cannot usually be implemented because it can affect their heart or the flow of blood cells to the heart and the brain. CPR manikin which guides you through the entire CPR process and ensures that your procedure is on the right track.

CPR Timeline: Every minute counts!

• 0 – 4 minutes – brain damage not likely
• 4 – 6 minutes – brain damage possible
• 6 – 10 minutes – brain damage likely
• >10 minutes – probably brain death

CPR Manikins

One of the highlights of the CPR Manikin is that it has an inbuilt LED lights which illuminate or gimmicks the flow of blood and oxygen from the brain to other vital organs of the human body. Students and other personnel would be able to visualize the effects of CPR with the right technique, and this would allow them to perform CPR in live situations.

CPR manikin is designed to allow people to understand the right methods from wrong techniques of CPR during critical situations. Some of the improper techniques are low chest compression rates, shallow compression depths, too much pressure and much more. When any of these actions take place, the LED lights in the manikin will not illuminate indicating that you are moving in the wrong direction.

The LED lights get lit up entirely when the compression rates are 100 to 120 per minute which has a depth of more than 5 cm. The lights can also be switched permanently when the compressions are too deep giving students a better idea of applying the right amount of pressure to the human body. After applying CPR onto the manikin, you would be able to receive immediate feedback without the effort for continuous supervision by trainers.

The LED lights can also be configured to give an audible sound when the right pressure is applied to the body. You also have switches to turn on and off whenever required. The Brayden Manikin also has different lights for illumination like red and white.

It’s just like a human body

CPR manikin is not anything less than a human body because it replicates every crucial anatomical feature in an adult. A live mouth to mouth resuscitation can be given by pinching the nose and tilting the head.

Even the chest portion of the manikin rises which gives you the passageway of air through the lungs. Vent holes are also provided for air to escape through the manikin, and it would not cause any problems for students because it is not made of latex, which creates few allergic reactions. The epidermis or the outer skin has been designed in such a way that you would be able to apply and remove the defibrillator pads from the bod

Durable, Repairable and Cost Effective Consumables

The manikin would be able to withstand to about one million compressions making it entirely durable for many years to come. You would also be able to replace different damaged parts of the body instead of replacing the entire manikin from Brayden and its list of authorized distributors.

Every battery charge can last up to 160,000 compressions, and the manikin also comes with a travel bag which makes it easily portable for different places and can also be used as a CPR training mat.
