Prestan CPR manikins are great, and most of the manikins themselves are manufactured right here in Ohio, USA. We love to post articles about Prestan because of how much we love the manikins, but also since they are great people to work with.
Many of the recent articles include information about CPR feedback, and which Prestan training manikins are compliant with the 2015 ECC/AHA standards. Most of them are compliant and are approved for use in both American Heart Association as well as American Red Cross layperson and professional rescuer training courses. The Pro series with rate monitor option includes the CPR feedback required by both the AHA and ARC.

We all know that children and adults bodies are different in many ways, yet so many CPR instructors teach CPR for children on adult manikins. I’m guessing that it is a way to save some money but is it really enough of a savings to NOT practice CPR on a child size body? Since we have remarkable, life like, child manikins available, we support learning CPR on an infant, a child and an adult manikin.
In 2014 the leading cause of death in children 1-8 years old was unintentional injury. Drowning coming in as #2 in that section. I come across stories quite often where a child was saved from drowning with CPR. And with accidents as the leading cause of death in children, we need every tool available so that we give them the best chance for a good outcome. You know how they say “practice makes perfect’?
