Singapore Heart Foundation launches 'first of its kind' female CPR manikin vest for training use

SINGAPORE: Those taking cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses will soon be able to practise the emergency procedure on female physiques, with the launch of a female CPR manikin vest by the Singapore Heart Foundation .

"With this female CPR manikin vest, participants can be accustomed to doing chest compressions around the female breasts and learn how to paste the AED pads without exposing the women's chest. "As CPR+AED training is taught traditionally with CPR manikins of a male physique, trained lifesavers are primed to be familiar with performing CPR on males compared to females," said the press release.

This is even after adjusting for Singapore's ageing population, said Prof Marcus Ong, who is the medical director at UPEC and senior consultant at the department of emergency medicine at Singapore General Hospital. This led to a"record high" of 175 survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 2018. More than two-thirds of these survivors had"good neurological function" after being discharged.

In 2018, Singapore's Utstein survival rate was 25.9 per cent, compared to 56 per cent in Seattle, US, which has one of the highest sudden cardiac arrest survival rates in the world.

so will there be qualified CPRM and CPRFM in the future
