Abstract
A training manikin for use in teaching students to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation includes a head, a neck, and a torso molded integrally of a resilient material allowing flexure of the neck and providing realistic resistance to compression of the torso in simulating external heart massage. A tubular airway passage includes a restrictor and can receive obstructors. A cavity in the torso holds a smaller, infant-size similar manikin. The manikin may have a tough watertight skin surrounding a core of resilient microporous foam of lesser density.
Claims12
A unitary cardio-pulmonary resuscitation training manikin, comprising:
- (a) a head portion defining a mouth opening and a tubular airway extending from said mouth rearwardly through said head portion;
- (b) a torso portion;
- and
- (c) a neck portion interconnecting said head and torso portions, said head, torso, and neck portions being an integral structure of micro-cellular foam, and said neck being flexible, allowing said head portion to be tilted between a normal position and a rearwardly tilted position by elastic flexure of said neck portion, and said head, neck, and torso portions being of a first, larger size and said torso portion defining a rearwardly open body cavity, and said manikin further comprising a smaller, infant-size manikin contained within said body cavity.
