Guidelines for the Prevention of Disease Transmission in the Use of CPR Manikins

摘要

Guidelines and recommendations are set forth which provide information on how to minimize the chances of disease transmission through use of CPR manikins. Although use of such manikins has never been documented as the cause of infectious disease, it is recommended that manikins be cleaned and disinfected according to specific guidelines, and also that CPR students follow hygienic practices including hand washing before manikin contact, and avoidance of active participation if the student has any symptoms of infectious disease.
