Infant Airway Obstruction Training Manikin (Infant Heimlich Trainer)

The Vitaliya Infant Airway Obstruction Training Manikin is designed to help healthcare trainees practice life-saving choking rescue procedures for infants. Because infants have underdeveloped airway structures, they are more vulnerable to foreign body airway obstruction during everyday activities such as crying, laughing, or placing objects in their mouths.

This training model allows learners to practice back blows, chest thrusts, artificial respiration, and airway management techniques in a safe and controlled environment. By simulating real emergency scenarios, the manikin helps improve the confidence and response skills of healthcare professionals and first responders.

This training model is widely used in medical colleges, nursing schools, pediatric emergency training programs, paramedical institutes, and hospital simulation labs.

Key Training Methods

Back Blow Method

• Position the infant so that the head is lower than the trunk.
• Place the infant across the rescuer’s arm with proper head support.
• Deliver 4–6 firm back blows between the shoulder blades to create pressure in the airway and remove the foreign body.

Chest Thrust Method

• Place the infant in a supine position across the rescuer’s arm, keeping the head slightly lower than the trunk.
• Perform 4–6 chest compressions using two fingers between the nipples.
• Both techniques may be alternated until the obstruction is cleared or the infant becomes unconscious.

Key Features

Artificial Respiration & Chest Compression

Allows practice of rescue breathing and external chest compression during infant airway emergencies.

Natural Airway Simulation

Designed to simulate a realistic infant airway structure for accurate training scenarios.

Airway Opening Practice

Supports training for airway opening and chest compression techniques.

Chest Rise Observation

Provides visible chest rise when the airway is successfully opened, helping trainees confirm proper technique.

Foreign Body Airway Obstruction Simulation

Simulates infant choking scenarios caused by airway blockage, enabling effective first aid training.
