This year marks the 55th anniversary of Resusci Anne, the world’s most famous life-sized resuscitation manikin, who was created by Asmund Laerdal to help teach people CPR. Since the 1960s, how we practice CPR has changed very little but advances in technology used in conjunction with a manikin shows that improving the quality of CPR can increase survival rates. To help us deliver quality CPR, Jon Laerdal, Managing Director of Laerdal Medical UK, talks through the evolution of CPR and how firefighters in New York have helped improve out of hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrests (SCAs) survival rates.

Whilst innovation is fundamental to driving progress through the adoption of new materials and product design, this can also be accompanied by increased costs as new, better performing materials are often intrinsically more costly to produce whilst improved manufacturing techniques require additional investment. Over the past 10 years, PPE for the emergency services and, in particular, the fire and rescue services has developed by providing more specialised clothing designed to protect wearers from exposure to the specific hazards and dangers associated with their differing operational conditions.

There is an increasing emphasis among the global firefighter family on the importance of health and well-being. This is partly about the health and well-being of the people living in our communities, but just as importantly about firefighters themselves. Hainsworth recently returned from the Fire Industry Equipment Research Organisation (FIERO) PPE symposium in Raleigh, North Carolina, where there was a lot of talk about the well-being of our firefighters.

VENTRY® Fans are inherently safe, very efficient, and versatile, with three adjustable legs for positive pressure attack and ventilation. They overcome common obstacles that handicap conventional blowers. Legs allow for quick placement wherever they are most effective, far back from the entry and out of the way of crew and victims. The fan and its airstream are lifted above obstacles (stairs, hills, snow…) and there is no shadowing of the air stream by the ground. [ 224 more words. ]
