$10,485 grant to provide child CPR mannequins
The Children's Miracle Network has awarded $10,485 to the College of Health Sciences for the purchase of three cardiopulmonary resuscitation mannequins that replicate a 6-year-old child.
The College's Emergency Health Sciences-Paramedic Program will house and maintain the equipment for use in training programs throughout the Carilion Health System.
These specialized mannequins, one of which will simulate breath and heart sounds, will provide potential rescuers the opportunity for realistic practice on age-specific mannequins.
