During the last round of training sessions we put to good use our “new toy”, the Brayden manakin that we just obtained.
Many may see this as a gimmick, a manakin with a few lights on it, however as the guys doing the CPR training found, this is able to give you direct feedback on compressions right there in front of you, without looking at a monitor or tv screen. You can easily perfect depth, speed, and see the “blood” circulating to heart and brain.
Kasia and Brian were lucky enough to win this in a competition at the Emergency Services Show in September, the prize put up by Medisave (UK) Ltd of Weymouth, thanks to them for very unexpectedly notifying us of winning and posting out all ready for use.
You will notice we also press the use of the Microvent Oxygen Resuscitator (training model run on air) from Meditech Systems Limited, the teams at Aberpergwm and Kilroot Salt have this available for any such event, train with the equipment you use
