Resusci Anne

Have you ever heard of a doll called Resusci Anne? Resusci Anne is a special kind of doll that is used to help people learn how to do CPR, which stands for Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CPR is a way to help someone whose heart has stopped beating and they are not breathing.

To learn how to do CPR properly, people need to practice on a doll that looks and feels like a real human body. That's where Resusci Anne comes in. The doll is made of a special material that feels like human skin and has a face and features that look like a real person.

When people practice CPR on Resusci Anne, they learn how to do chest compressions and rescue breaths, which can help start the person's heart beating again and get oxygen to their lungs. Doing chest compressions means pressing hard and fast on the center of the person's chest, while rescue breaths are a way to breathe air into the person's lungs.

Overall, Resusci Anne is an important tool that helps people learn how to save lives by performing CPR.
