Introducing Brayden!

One of the more innovative pieces of equipment we've added to our training arsenal recently is the CPR manikin Brayden.  Brayden shows students the results of their compressions with visual cues in the form of lights representing the blood flow between the heart and brain.  If compressions are too shallow or slow, the lights won't go all the way between the two...just as the blood won't flow adequately between them; conversely, if compressions are too rapid, there isn't time for the heart to refill with blood, so the lights appear in.  When we first received our new purchase, Chelsea did a demonstration to illustrate how this piece of technology would be used to show the importance of adequate compressions in CPR in all our BLS classes and we're excited to share that again here.

Here's a little more about Brayden from the manufacturer:

• This manikin is the first ever to display visual flow of blood from the heart to the brain during CPR. Students will not only easily learn how to execute proper and correct CPR in time of need, but will also help to remember the ultimate purpose and vital importance of correct and proper execution of CPR. Three kinds of indicator lights let students and instructors know if procedures are being performed correctly
• Blood Circulation Indicators: Lights change speed to reflect the blood flow in proportion to compression depth, aiding in visualizing the blood flow from the heart to the brain
•  Compression Indicators: Depending on the CPR quality, indicators will light partially or completely. Completely lit indicators indicate the procedure has been performed correctly. Indicators are interrelated with the given default value of depth and compression speed prescribed in the 2010 CPR Guidelines.
• CPR Quality Indicators: These only light when the compression depth and speed coincide correctly with the given default value.
