Project Description:
We were originally tasked with designing, developing and fabricating a simulated abdomen that can be used for CPR training. The abdomen would simulate realistic abdomen pressure feedback and breathing patterns.
The final product is a Simulated Abdomen apparatus designed for use in CPR training, that replicates the response of the human abdomen. It is designed to simulate a human adult abdominal response when CPR is being performed correctly on the device. With its small size it is easily portable, making it great for use in classroom settings for learning purposes. The simulated abdomen has realistic pressures and spring like responses that would be found in a human abdomen, so that when CPR is performed it feels like a real abdomen. When CPR is performed correctly, a green LED light will come on and the breathing mechanism will actuate and simulate breathing to show that CPR has been performed correctly. When CPR is performed incorrectly, a red LED light will come on and the CPR process must be restarted.
