Abstract

A new and improved trainer mannequin comprising a body having a head and a torso made of common household items. The head and the torso are hollow. The head has openings for a mouth and two nostrils, and additionally has a neck and a neck opening. All the openings provide access to the interior of the head. The torso also has a neck and neck opening, and is secured to the head by connecting the necks in a way that provides a seal between the interior of the head and the torso. The torso additionally can be interchanged to provide training in three basic aid training techniques. For mouth-to-mouth breathing, the torso is an attached bag collapsible and expandable to simulate a lung. For aid in choking, also known as the Heimlich maneuver, the torso is self-supporting in order to provide a more constant volume and greater resistance to collapsing. This torso also simulates a full human torso including stomach and chest. For training this technique, an object is securely placed in the neck of the mannequin to restrict the air flow between the torso and the head, but the object may be forcibly removed from the neck by compressing the torso. Finally, for chest compression training, the torso is the same or similar to the torso for the choking technique, but the bottom is removed in order to stuff it with a filler to provide additional resistance to collapsing and rebounding of the torso.
