This reduces the chances of cross-contamination between students during training as well as the time spent cleaning. The muzzles on this CPR dog manikin can instead be disinfected and reused for effective training every time.

What CPR Procedures Can I Practise with This Dog?
The Life/Form Dog can help students learn various CPR procedures. These must always be performed at the back of the dog. You should place the dog on a firm, non-slip surface and ensure it is lying on its right side (left side up). This will allow for the practice of the following:
-
Mouth-to-Nose Ventilation
- Clamp the dog's mouth shut with both hands and blow gently into the nose. Watch for chest to rise. Do not over-inflate. The “correct ventilation” light on the control box will not activate during mouth-to-nose ventilation.
-
Endotracheal Ventilation
- Establish an airway by inserting a 6mm or 6.5mm lubricated cuffed endotracheal tube into the simulated trachea at the back of the throat. The cuff on the ET tube must be inflated with a 12cc syringe. The “correct ventilation” light on the control box will illuminate with proper ventilation. Chest rise is visible only with the mouth-to-nose method.
-
Chest Compression
- Place your hands on the dog’s chest just behind the shoulder, at the point where the left elbow would meet the body if the leg were pulled backward. Use the heel of your hand to activate the position light. Compressions and ventilations should be performed according to prescribed standards (current guidelines). Avoid excessive pressure, as this may damage the trainer. Resuscitation may be practiced with one person or two, with one performing compressions while the other ventilates.
-
Pulse Check
- The femoral artery tubing is located in the left hind leg. By manipulating the squeeze bulb, the instructor can simulate a variety of heart rates and conditions.
How Do I Clean the CPR Dog Manikin?
For clean training every time, the fur on the body of this manakin can be unzipped, removed and cleaned by adhering the following:
- Hand wash in cool water with a few drops of mild soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly
- Roll in a towel to remove excess water, then air dry. Gently brush fur if desired. A small amount of shedding is normal
- The fur on the face and legs may be cleaned by rubbing with a damp cloth
- Do not immerse the dog in water and never use cleaning fluids or solvents
