QCPR Resusci Anne

The Resusci Anne® with QCPR® is an adult CPR training manikin now improved for multiple feedback options that provide opportunity to focus on student competency. Measurement, assessment and quality feedback are key factors in developing competency.

The Little Anne is the staple manikin used for all first aid training. Looking to ensure HDP offer the best teaching equipment, we tested the new Resusci Anne QCPR manikin with SkillGuide. We were so impressed we order two.

The SkillGuide is a small electrronic device that when attached to the manikin, records and displays real-time feedback on the core parameters of CPR performance (depth, rate, incomplete release and ventilation volume).

We all strive to ensure that students attain Guideline compliant CPR but judging the quality of CPR performed can be a challenge and imprecise. With the SkillGuide providing real-time feedback, the instructor and student can see straightaway the level of CPR being performed and what aspects need to improve.

Students can be self-directed in their CPR practice with the feedback on the SkillGuide guiding their improvements until they reach the required standard. And with the SkillGuide’s summative feedback and scoring function, we can now be certain they have reached that standard.

The student feedback has been really positive. They seem much more engaged in the training and more motivated and competitive with themselves to improve their scores. The sessions are noticeably more fun and interactive.

I can certainly see a measured improvement in CPR performance compared to previous training. Using feedback is definitely the way we will move forward to improve CPR competence in our organisation. Along with continuing to invest in the best equipment.
