<p>A training manikin (14, 90) for use in teaching students to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation includes a head (18), a neck (20), and a torso (16) molded integrally of a resilient material allowing flexure of the neck (18) and providing realistic resistance to compression of the torso (16) in simulating external heart massage. An audible signal device (129) indicates adequate chest compression. A tubular airway passage (34, 112) includes a restrictor (71, 124) and a device for indicating sufficient air flow, and can receive obstructors (50). A cavity (30, 126) in the torso (16, 92) holds a smaller, infant-size similar manikin (60, 150). The manikin (14, 90) may have a tough watertight skin surrounding a core of resilient microporous foam of lesser density. One embodiment of the invention includes a ball-and-socket joint articulating the head portion (96) with the neck portion (94).</p> |
