Resuscitation training manikin

A manikin for practicing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, comprising a flexible, inflatable body that is adapted be filled with a gas, characterized in that:

• the inflatable body has the shape of at least an upper part of a human body, comprising a chest portion and a head;
• the inflatable body retains the gas within the inflatable body, and is adapted to absorb the full compression force, so that the gas confined in the inflatable body is compressed as the inflatable body is being deformed by compression force exerted during simulated chest compression provided by a human;
• the inflatable body is adapted to be deflated and folded into a small height;
• and the inflatable body further comprises a chest plate, the chest plate being situated on the outside of the inflatable body and being connected to the inflatable body and acting as a pressure distributor on the inflatable body, wherein the chest plate being connected to the inflatable body by an elastic portion, and wherein a ring shaped portion of the inflatable body providing a support for the chest plate;
• the head including an expansion chamber that expands during chest compression;
• and the inflatable body further comprises a face mask, the face mask having a mouth and/or nose providing an inlet for air or gas into the lung, the face mask being positioned at the head portion of the inflatable body, and wherein the face mask including a chin portion comprising an edge, the edge pinching a portion of the lung against the inflatable body in a first state, in which first state the head portion is lying in the same plane as the chest portion of the inflatable body, and the edge being lifted away from the lung portion when the head portion is tilted relative to a chest portion.
