Abstract

This research examines Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), a critical life-saving technique that can greatly enhance an individual's likelihood of survival after experiencing a cardiac arrest. The success of CPR procedures is largely contingent upon the proficiency of the person administering aid. Delivering chest compressions at the correct depth and rate, while ensuring complete chest recoil and minimizing interruptions, is essential for improving survival rates during a cardiac arrest. The absence of effective CPR training models in developing nations significantly affects the training and development of CPR skills. Consequently, this paper seeks to enhance CPR training by creating a high-fidelity CPR training manikin. This model features a feedback mechanism that monitors CPR performance, facilitating effective practice and rehearsal until the requisite CPR skills are mastered. A comprehensive review of current training systems was performed to guarantee the appropriate design of the proposed system. The testing outcomes indicate that the developed manikin prototype evaluates the quality of CPR performance and offers suitable feedback to the trainee. This model can be employed to instruct medical students and other healthcare professionals in the proper execution of CPR.
