Resuscitation exercise with Resusci-Anne and defibrillator

The Resusci-Anne , also called Rescue-Annie or CPR-Annie in English-speaking countries , is a standardized doll that is used to learn and train cardiopulmonary resuscitation as part of first aid .

The doll consists of a clothed torso or whole body made of plastic with a compressible chest and simulated airways. Some versions also have electronic measuring instruments that signal the user that the measures are being carried out correctly.

The Resusci-Anne was developed by the doctor Peter Safar in collaboration with the Norwegian toy manufacturer Asmund Laerdal in 1960.

The doll's face is modeled on that of the stranger from the Seine .
