Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a core skill in emergency response. With advancements in modern CPR manikins and AED training devices, CPR training has become significantly more efficient. Whether for healthcare professionals or public first aid courses, these tools help learners improve their techniques and ensure that they can respond quickly and calmly in real-life emergencies.
This article introduces several professional devices, outlining their unique features to help users choose the most suitable training equipment based on their needs and budget.
Brayden Adult ADV features real-time feedback on CPR performance, allowing users to understand how correct CPR techniques affect cerebral blood flow.
Brayden Adult PRO is a further upgrade, equipped with the Brayden Online App, which provides immediate performance data and helps users correct their techniques in real time. The app can be downloaded to mobile devices and generates radar charts and statistical reports after training, serving as a long-term learning record for trainees. A single device can connect to up to 6 manikins simultaneously, making it ideal for small-group CPR training.
Prestan PRO+ is a popular and cost-effective CPR model. It is suitable not only for high-quality CPR training but also supports nasopharyngeal airway insertion practice—ideal for both public and professional healthcare training. Its dual feedback system includes:
Shoulder indicator lights and compression clicker: Shows whether compression rate and depth are correct.
Smart Bluetooth feedback: Through the Prestan CPR Feedback App, users receive data on compression rate, depth, recoil, and ventilation volume. The app supports up to 6 connected manikins, and performance reports can be stored on mobile devices.
Brayden Baby ADV is the world's only infant CPR model that shows high-quality CPR performance through blood flow and lung illumination indicators. It is the top choice for Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) training. Its oversized head design requires users to pay close attention to proper head positioning to maintain airway patency.
Brayden Baby PRO adds functionality via the Brayden Online App, providing real-time feedback and generating the industry’s most detailed performance reports, ideal for long-term training records. Blood flow and ventilation indicator lights and precise tracking features make it highly professional for infant CPR or neonatal resuscitation training.
The AED Ultra Trainer is the most compact AED training device on the market, designed to simulate real-life emergency scenarios. It features a patented electrode pad sensing system that accurately detects whether the pads are correctly placed on the manikin. It also includes a built-in pediatric mode switch and automatically plays a CPR metronome after simulated defibrillation, delivering a realistic training experience.
The Laerdal AED Trainer 2 mimics the interface, voice prompts, and step-by-step instructions of the Philips HeartStart® FR2 AED, providing users with an authentic AED experience. This allows for seamless transition to real-life AED use without hesitation. While it replicates the interface of the Philips AED, it conveniently operates using standard alkaline batteries, eliminating concerns about hard-to-find power sources.
