Abstract: CPR manikin in simulated human form including a head, body, arms and legs, the head is provided with throat and mouth openings in fluid communication and the body provided with a cavity, a piston is mounted in the cavity, a disposable lung bag is fastened over and in fluid communication with the throat opening and a body plate is mounted to the body and overlying the piston which provides biasing force to the body plate.

Abstract: A valve means (1) is disclosed for use in a teaching manikin to simulate an open and closed airway of the human throat. The valve means comprises a section with a hollow passage and two end openings. A first opening fits onto a manikin head and a second opening seats on a sealing surface. When the head is tilted back the valve means (1) lifts to open the second end to permit the flow of air.

Abstract: A manikin with a disposable lung is used as a tool for teaching cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The manikin includes a head, chest, disposable lung, and compression device. The head includes a "mouth" opening to receive air blown into it by a user, and the chest is removably connected to the head. The disposable lung is removably connected to the head in communication with the mouth opening. The compression device preferably is a resilient dowel like member which extends vertically through the manikin chest, having a stop which positively prevents resilient compression of more than a certain amount.
