ABSTRACT:
A manikin unit (1) for teaching cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, including ventilation and external cardiac massage, comprises at least one manikin (66) and a chest extension structure (2). The manikin comprises a head (9) having a mouth opening, a neck (8), a chest means (3), a throat means in communication with the mouth opening, and a lung means in communication with the throat means, the chest means comprising a flexible front plate formed to imitate the human chest, a back plate and a resilient compression means compressed between said front plate and said back plate. According to the invention the chest extension structure (3) is connected to said chest means' distal end by means allowing it to pivot about a pivot axis extending in a direction transversely to the chest means between an in-use position wherein the chest extension structure extends longitudinally from the chest means and serves to stabilise the manikin, and a storage position wherein the chest extension structure is pivoted away from the in-use position in order to reduce the length of space occupied by the manikin unit.
