Example Sentences:

(2) Seventy-two percent were still confident in their ability to perform CPR, although no one had performed the technique on a real victim; 61.9% thought there should have been more manikin practice time; 92.2% still had their CPR refresher card.
(3) A correction for custom in-the-ear nondirectional hearing aids is obtained for converting a frequency response measured using a 2 cm3 coupler to an insertion response, approximating that measured using a manikin and ear simulator.

(6) The results of this investigation showed that American Heart Association (AHA)-certified rescuers are able to produce a consistent pattern of chest wall displacement during a manikin training exercise, and only small differences in displacement recordings are found when comparing one certified rescuer to another.
(7) Sampling efficiency appeared to be improved by placing cassettes on a manikin to simulate personal sampling.
(8) Sixty subjects were selected from students of Kanagawa Dental College and they were divided into two groups (A and B) to prepare abutment tooth of lower right 1st molar for full cast crown on typodont mounted into the manikin.
(9) Resuscitation of the manikin on the Cardiff wedge was found to be as efficient as in the supine position.
(10) Using a cardiopulmonary resuscitation manikin as the victim, our pilot study showed that external heart compression can be administered effectively by a rescuer standing next to a victim in a supine position.
(11) A novel airway device was evaluated for the retention of infective droplets and fluid permeability under simulated resuscitation conditions using a cardiopulmonary resuscitation training manikin.
(12) The effect of controlled, incremental water leakage on the thermal insulation provided by three immersion-protection assemblies has been measured using a thermal manikin.
(13) Investigations were also conducted in the sound field with a KEMAR manikin.
(14) The two training sessions were identical, given by lay teachers priorly instructed in CPR, and consisted of a video-program and practical demonstration, followed by individual practice on training manikins.
(15) The volumes delivered to a resuscitation manikin were compared using four ventilatory techniques: mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mask, one-person bag-valve-mask, and two-person bag-valve-mask.
(16) Results of manikin experiments showed both models to be less accurate for simulating the feedback path around the human head.
(17) Using a CPR manikin, we found that greater Thumper compression force was necessary to sustain the same sternal displacement and to achieve the same applied sternal pressure when the rate was increased due to a rate-limited fall in the compression duration.
(18) The student holds the tablet up to the manikin from the bedside and will see a live display of the room they are in but the head and shoulders of the manikin will be overlaid with the video of an actor posing as a patient.
(19) They were given instruction in only the cognitive knowledge related to CPR through lectures and a demonstration of the technique, without supervised manikin practice.
(20) The level of CPR-training of the GPs was fairly good: 67% had received BLS training on a manikin and 63% had already attended a cardiac arrest event.
