The Female Skin for Prestan Professional Adult CPR manikins can be used on any Prestan Professional manikins as a replacement skin or to enhance the CPR training experience to be more realistic with diverse skin tones and body types.
Practicing CPR on a female manikin is crucial because it addresses the gender disparity in bystander CPR rates. Studies show that only 39% of women receive CPR from bystanders in public, compared to 45% of men. This gap can be attributed to several factors, including discomfort or uncertainty about performing CPR on women, especially concerning chest compressions.
Using female manikins helps normalize the practice of giving CPR to women, reducing hesitation, and increasing confidence among rescuers. It also ensures that students are familiar with anatomical differences, such as breast tissue, which can affect hand placement, compression depth and AED pad placement.
By incorporating female manikins into CPR training, you can improve the likelihood that women will receive timely and effective CPR, ultimately increasing their chances of survival in cardiac emergencies.
