U.S. Navy Capt. Olaitan Ojo and Lt. Jacob Kabbah from the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery show visitors how to perform CPR using a manikin simulator at the April 26, 2025, Military Medical Innovation event at the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Manikin technology mimics and reflects human physiology, allowing service members to practice life-saving procedures in a controlled environment. Manikins can be used in a wide variety of applications for both medical and combat training and provide many benefits for the warfighter in simulating a realistic but safe military medical environment that helps improve their skills.
Kabbah and Ojo describe how this particular manikin gives visual and aural responses to the trainee while practicing CPR. Red lights imitate blood flow to the brain with every compression, and a clicking sound is heard when the right amount of pressure is used on the chest.
