Brayden Baby is the first infant CPR manikin with real-time visual feedback using intuitive lights for good quality ventilations and chest compressions.
CPR for an infant differs from CPR performed on an older child or adult. Due to a small mouth and airway, a small body with a relatively large tongue and occiput, delicate lungs and more fragile but flexible ribs compared to an adult, resuscitating an infant requires more nuanced CPR skills. Brayden Baby has been designed to teach these skills.
Lighting the way to Quality CPR
The Brayden Baby is a very useful manikin for teaching good quality infant CPR according to current Guidelines. It has evidently been designed with help from experts! The lights on the manikin give excellent intuitive real-time feedback to help guide the student to perform correct ventilation technique and good quality chest compressions – essential in real life to help optimise survival. The Brayden Baby manikin, in my opinion, is unique in its ability to do this.

Infant Ventilation
Ventilating an infant correctly involves the correct airway position (neutral) and the appropriate delivered ventilation volume. The Brayden Baby CPR manikin provides real-time feedback of performance to ensure good quality ventilation.
Ventilation volumes for infants
The appropriate ventilation volume for an infant of similar size to the Brayden Baby CPR training manikin is 30ml to 50ml. Ventilation indication Lights on the Brayden Baby indicate the volume of air being delivered and if it is being delivered with excessive force.
