CPR TRAINING DEVICE

摘要

An inexpensive take-home training aid (100) for practicing human cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is contained in a non-humanoid housing, such as a teddy bear or other stuffed toy. When prominently placed in the home, it reminds users of their CPR skills and encourages them to practice with the training aid (100). The non-humanoid housing (110) makes the training aid (100) less intimidating for nervous parents or childcare providers. The internal mechanism consists of a simulated airway, a compression mechanism, a compression feedback mechanism, a metronome, a chest plate (130) and back plate (170) with simulated anatomical landmarks, and/or an external landmark (140) for identification of proper hand/finger placement. The two plates are connected by one or more telescoping posts with a resistance device between them to simulate the resistance of a human chest. Visual and/or auditory prompts on the steps of CPR and/or actual CPR performance can also be incorporated.
