TEACHING AID FOR CPRABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION:The invention distinguishes between twoaspects of learning the technique of cardio-pulmonaryresuscitation. One aspect is in learning what CPR feelslike. The other is in learning the sequence of actions,times, rates, etc. It is the latter aspect that is moreeasily forgotten, and the invention provides a veryinexpensive aid, which has the simplest possible mouthand chest simulators. The student can carry out aperiodic repetition of the routine of motions on theaid. Refresher courses are then not needed so often,and the courses can concentrate on the "feel" aspects ofCPR rather than the "routine" aspects. A simple andinexpensive teaching and practise aid for CPR isprovided which has a stand on which a piece of foammaterial is mounted, and a generally self-supportingtube which has an upwardly facing open end. The otherend of the tube is connected to a balloon. The structureand action of the device more or less replicates thephysiology of a person in cardio-pulminary arrest.
