Abstract: A CPR training manikin having a separable, tiltable head mounted on the neck of the torso; a flexible nose/mouthpiece removably supported on said head portion; a ball valve assembly removably mounted to said head; flexible airway tubing communicating between said head and a lung bag through the ball valve, whereby lung bag is adapted to be inflated by breathing into the nose/mouthpiece while the head is tilted into a CPR-correct position in which the ball in the ball valve assembly is unseated, the orientation of the head in the CPR-correct position properly corresponding to the orientation of a head of a patient which will allow the administrator of CPR to inflate a human lung, and said ball valve is adapted to be closed by the displacement by gravity of the ball into the valve seat when the manikin head is not properly tilted or oriented into a position in which a human patient may be resuscitated by CPR techniques.

Abstract: A training manikin for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation is provided with a hollow body in human form, with two nostril orifices and a mouth orifice, and an air passage extending from the nostril and mouth orifices entirely through the interior of the body to a flushing orifice, whereby the air passage is readily flushable through the introduction of a flushing fluid into the air passage through any one of the orifices. The manikin has simulated heart, pulmonary and pulse systems, with instant readout to a separate console box.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a disposable, foldable and inflatable protective sleeve for a conventional, re-usable, rigid splint board. The sleeve comprises three juxtaposed sheets of thermoplastic material fastened together to form two expansible pockets. One of the pockets is provided with an opening for insertion of the rigid splint board to provide a sanitary splint to support, in an immobile position, the limb of a patient. A valve is associated with the other of the pockets so that it may be inflated to provide a yieldable, cushion-like surface between the splint and the limb for maximum patient comfort. Advantageously, the inflated pocket will apply a stretching force to the first pocket to retain the rigid splint board securely therein. Prior to use, the protective sleeve is compactly foldable for convenient, sanitary storage. The disclosed structure affords easy insertion of a conventional splint board and subsequent inflation for a highly effective limb support. After use, the sleeve is disposable.
