What is a CPR Manikin? 

 

CPR manikins – also known as CPR dummies or CPR mannequins – are used to demonstrate and practice CPR, helping to ensure the proper techniques are being used in CPR training. It is important to use a CPR manikin to learn the techniques for CPR, including hand placement, depth and rate of chest compressions, and techniques for rescue breathing. It is also important to utilize CPR manikins in all ages to learn the differences between CPR in infants, children, and adults.  

These manikins can be purchased individually, in packs, or even in “family packs” that also include differently aged manikins. Although it is not required by all CPR courses, many CPR training manikins on the market today include feedback devices, to give the user and instructor real-time feedback on important CPR parameters, like compression rate and depth.  

Other CPR manikin supplies include replacement face shield lung bags (also known as airways), CPR kneeling pads, and replacement CPR manikin parts. Other CPR training supplies include AED trainersAED training padsCPR pocket masks, and bag-valve mask (BVM) resuscitators.
