When equipped with these artificial lungs, the Brayden Manikin can effectively simulate the flow of air through a patient’s body during CPR.
- Artificial lungs can be placed inside the chest cavity of the Brayden Manikin and attached to the airway valve that forms the “throat” of the manikin
- During CPR, the air students provide to the manikin filters through the lungs and causes the chest to rise, effectively simulating the breathing of a patient receiving CPR
- Air filtered through the manikin’s lungs exits through the back of his head, so students never come into contact with exhaled air and the risk of cross contamination is reduced
