Baby Brayden CPR Manikin

The brayden baby is the first infant CPR manikin that provides real time visual feedback using intuitive lights to allow good quality ventilations and chest compressions.Comes complete with:1 x Baby manikin unit1 x Bag5 x Ventilation double filter10 x Face shield1 x Bodysuit1 x Quick guide1 x Instructions for use4 x AA Alkaline battery.Infant CPR, Are we really as good as we think?An infant has a small mouth and airway and a small body with a relatively large tongue and occiput. An infant also has more delicate but flexible ribs compared to an adult.An infant can choke more easily than an adult as they often put objects in their mouth that can cause an obstruction of their airway. An infant's lungs are also more delicate compared to an adult so over ventilation should be avoided.Due to the differences in their anatomy, infants face different dangers compared to adults. CPR for an infant is different to CPR performed on an older child or adult.Infants are also less robust than older children and adults so more care is needed when CPR is performed on them.By learning infant CPR, you could potentially save a life.Why Brayden Baby?"The Brayden Baby is a very useful manikin for teaching good quality infant CPR according to current Guidelines. It has evidently been designed with help from experts! The lights on the manikin give excellent intuitive real-time CPR feedback and help guide the student to perform correct ventilation technique for an infant and also help guide the student to perform good quality chest compressions. It is essential that both these key component parts of infant CPR are performed to the highest level in real life to help optimise survival. The Brayden Baby manikin, in my opinion, is unique in its ability to do this."Prof. Patrick Van de Voorde (Paediatrician and Clinical Head of Emergency Medicine, University Hospital Ghent, Belgium) Infant Ventilation:The most common cause of cardiac arrest in infants is due to respiratory arrest leading to cardiac arrest. It is extremely important to commence good quality CPR as quickly as possible according to infant Resuscitation Guidelines. Ventilating an infant correctly involves the correct airway position (neutral) and the appropriate delivered ventilation volume. The Brayden Baby provides real time feedback of performance to ensure good quality ventilation.Ventilation volumes for infants. The appropriate ventilation volume for an infant of similar size to Brayden Baby is 20ml to 40ml, considerably less than for an older child/adult. It is important that each ventilation delivered to an infant is done gently and not with excessive force as their lungs are more fragile than an adult.The 'Ventilation Indication lights' on the Brayden Baby indicates the volume of air delivered. The real time feedback is indicated via lung shaped lights on the chest of the manikin.The lung shaped 'Ventilation Indication light' illuminates when a correct ventilation volume is delivered.These lights will flash repeatedly if excessive ventilation volume is delivered.Correct head and airway position for ventilating an infantThe Brayden Baby has the ability for trainees to practice the 'jaw thrust/lift' manoeuver which can be useful when it is difficult to secure an airway in the normal manner for an infant (due to injury etc). For normal ventilation of an infant it is important that the head is positioned in the 'neutral' position to open the airway.Hyper-extension of the head (tilting head back) is inappropriate for infant ventilation as is flexion (head tilted forwards). The neutral position [head straight) is the correct position for infant ventilation. The Brayden Baby head realistically positions itself inflexion due to the large occiput so the student needs to actively move the head into the correct neutral position to open the airway.Jaw thrustThe jaw mechanism of the Brayden Baby has been designed to mimic the action of a real Baby for an accurate jaw thrust/lift manoeuver.Head-tilt and chin liftThe Brayden Baby airway is only open when the head is positioned in the correct 'neutral' position. Chest compressions for an infant:Chest compressions can be performed on an infant using 2 fingers (or 2 thumbs using the encircling technique) positioned just below the 'nipple line' The correct compression depth is 1/3 (4cm) of the depth of the chest (Anterior, Posterior) at a rate of 100 to 120 a minu
