An Electronic Resuscitation Evaluation System

An electronic system is described that distinguishes and tabulates pressure pulses received from the Resusci-Anne training mannequin during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The requirements of this system are in accordance with accepted CPR training programs. Samples of quantitative data gathered during mannequin practice sessions are included. The effectiveness of the system as a teaching aid is investigated, and correlations are made between CPR skills and a trainee´s physical attributes.
