The first ever manikin to illuminate the virtual blood flow from the heart to the brain during CPR.
Improve learners skill acquisition & retention of knowledge
3 interrelated sets of lights help teach:
How to perform CPR
The Function of CPR
The importance of effective CPR
How it works
BLOOD CIRCULATION INDICATING LIGHTS: Light up in direct proportion to compression rate.
In addition, when compression rate and depth become closer to the default value, the lights will reflect improved blood flow.
Whilst the lights all display their individual function, they are all interrelated to show the overall effect of good quality CPR on the flow of blood from the heart to the brain.
The ultimate purpose of CPR is to maintain a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain during cardiac arrest to prevent serious brain damage.
CHEST COMPRESSION INDICATING LIGHTS: Light up in direct proportion to compression depth. The shallower the depth the less the lights across the chest will light up. The closer to the optimal depth of 5cm, the more the lights will increase in brightness and spread across the chest.
If chest compressions are the correct depth but the rate is too slow, it is important to see the corresponding effect on the blood circulating lamps.
Only when both chest compressions and rate both are being performed at the optimal value will the CPR quality indicating lights be lit.
CPR QUALITY INDICATING LIGHTS: Only light up when compression depth and rate reaches the set default value.
The corresponding chest compression & blood circulating lamps will also be at their optimal setting. The chest lights will be fully lit across the chest and the flow rate will be clearly seen up to the brain.
The ultimate purpose of CPR is to maintain a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain during cardiac arrest to prevent serious brain damage – these lights clearly show the overall importance of effective CPR.
The set default value is in line with current (2010) Resuscitation Council Guidelines.
