What better way to engage your learners and encourage competition than using Little Anne QCPR!
How does it work?
As students practise CPR on their manikin, Little Anne QCPR sends feedback digitally through an app to a tablet or similar device. The programme monitors depth and speed of compressions as well as the effectiveness of the breaths. A score will be given to the student after their performance. Graphics on the app have been cleverly designed for students and instructors to quickly assess where they need to improve and adjust their technique to hit the 100% score!
What do our Instructors like about it?
WorkSafe instructor Steve shows us just how easy it is use on his YouTube video, click here to see the QCPR Anne in action.
In addition to using the technology as a feedback tool, you can also create friendly competitions at the end of a course. Steve projects a ‘CPR race’ onto a big screen, where the most successful performers reach the end of the race soonest! This helps to keep learners engaged and allows students to experience performing CPR in a high-tension situation!
The immediate feedback via electronic devices is a helpful tool for learners as they can adjust the speed and depth of their compressions as they watch their performance feedback. Reviewing their score throughout the duration of the course, with detailed analysis of technique enables the learners to improve the quality of their CPR.
Steve states that his students really like learning with the technology and as an instructor it can provide a much more precise measure of effectiveness.
In addition to CPR feedback, the baby Anne manikin has an additional feature to analyse choking treatment. The app can assess back blows and chest thrusts, the baby will cry if you have been successful!
Is there a variety of manikin sizes available with the QCPR technology?
The Laerdal Little Anne QCPR’s are available singularly, as a four pack or as a family which includes an adult, child and infant. Instructors can also purchase QCPR kits to add to their existing manikins. Embracing new technology is helping to improve learner engagement in first aid techniques.
