Simulators designed for use in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. The anatomic models used in these simulators typically include a model of the head, neck, and torso with anatomical landmarks such as nose, mouth, tongue, and larynx. The simulators also include devices such as masks, gloves, and inflatable bags (with face shields on the open end) that can be inserted in the model\'s torso to represent the lungs. Many of these anatomic models provide realistic resistance for chest compressions. Instructors can use the CPR simulators and the anatomic models to demonstrate various scenarios in which CPR is needed and possible patient reactions. Emergency medical technicians and other healthcare workers can learn and practice their CPR skills, rescue breathing, and choking first-aid instruction using CPR simulators. Anatomic models used in these simulators are available in different body types and sizes such as infant, child, adult, and bariatric.
