We can count ourselves lucky that in our society there are many people who are prepared to take a first aid course. They are largely responsible for providing first aid to victims, even before the emergency services arrive. They save lives by resuscitating people on the street, in a shop, at work or at the sports club when they have a cardiac arrest. Being able to practice with high-quality resuscitation dolls makes a significant contribution to this.
Why practice lifelike?
When a first aider or trainee practices his learned techniques on a resuscitation doll, the setting during the lesson should be as lifelike as possible. If the trainee performs well in the lesson what is expected later in practice, when someone needs to be resuscitated, this increases the victim’s chance of survival. Every second counts!
It is important that the resuscitation dolls look and feel lifelike, thanks to the specially developed skin. This gives the student the impression that it is a real person.
Be well prepared
Unfortunately, it also happens occasionally that a child or even a baby needs to be resuscitated. Imagine being the first aider who comes up with this. You may have resuscitated an adult before, but a child is something else. You realize that you can save this young life by applying the learned techniques without hesitation. Of course, you do not hesitate for a moment and you immediately do what is asked of you and what you have practiced so often in class.
It is obvious that you can only do this because you learned how to resuscitate a child or baby during all those first aid lessons. A realistic and almost lifelike child resuscitation doll was the basis for your life-saving action today.
Practicing good resuscitation techniques increases the victim’s chance of survival
Examples of resuscitation dolls

Most resuscitation dolls have easily replaceable air bags / lung bags. There are also separate facial skins and other accessories available and of course alcohol wipes to clean the doll.

Prestan Collection
These resuscitation mannequins give a realistic impression of a human body. The resuscitation torsos contain an ultramodern resuscitation monitor that provides direct feedback on the resuscitation performed, specifically the speed of the heart massage applied by the rescuer. In addition, LED lights in the shoulders clearly indicate at what speed the trainee should give compressions. The resuscitation torsos also make a click sound when the trainee compresses the chest deeply enough. This makes it almost automatic for him to work with exactly the right force during each resuscitation.
