Abstract: A CPR training manikin is provided. The manikin can have a size and shape of the torso area of a human, including a head and a chest area. The head and chest area can be operatively configured to generally mimic a human head, chest, respiratory and cardiopulmonary morphology. Internal to the manikin a chest compression plate is joined to a main compression spring and compressed when chest compressions are applied to the torso area. Electrical circuits can measure, record, and/or report depth of chest compression as well as proper hand placement during chest compression.

Abstract: A CPR manikin is provided. The manikin can have a size and shape of the torso area of a human, including a head and a chest area. The head and chest area can be operatively configured to generally mimic a human head, chest, respiratory and cardiopulmonary morphology.
