Really vital clarification regarding using an AED when patient wearing a bra. Need our training and mannequins to reflect this! #RCUK25

Really interesting sessions on Ethics and ReSPECT @RCUK25. I could happily spend all day just exploring these subjects!

🫀 Who do CPR manikins represent? And who do they leave out?

Most CPR manikins are white, lean, and male – but real-world cardiac arrest patients are far more diverse. Women, people of colour, and obese individuals are less likely to receive bystander CPR and have poorer outcomes. Could the lack of diversity in training manikins be part of the problem?

A new scoping review in the Emergency Medicine Journal explored this question:
🔍 Out of 2,719 studies screened, only 15 studies looked at manikin diversity.
👩🏾‍⚕️ Just 5% of training videos used non-white manikins; only 1% used female manikins.
🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️ DIY modifications (adding breasts, wigs, clothing, or body mass) were common – but commercially available diverse manikins remain rare.
💡 Early evidence suggests racially and gender-diverse manikins may increase comfort and engagement during CPR training.

👉 The review calls for educators, organisations, and manufacturers to step up:
✔️ Make diverse manikins more accessible.
✔️ Ensure training reflects the populations most at risk.
✔️ Recognise that representation may save lives.
