A manikin-based simulation study of a dispatch operator directed CPR algorithm within the Western Cape setting and the self- reported comfort around its execution
Background: There is little data in Africa regarding dispatch guided telephonic CPR. This study looks at the quality of CPR performed when compared to AHA guidelines, by untrained laypersons when given telephonic CPR instructions using the Western Cape EMS Guidecards algorithm for telephone …

A study of heat transfer through clothing assemblies
… the development and laboratory use of a fabric manikin. The "skin" of the manikin was made of coated water-proof fabric, and heated water was circulated inside the "body". The arms and legs of the manikin could be moved to simulate walking. The manikin was very cheap to construct when compared …

Clothing Evaporative Resistance: Its Measurements and Application in Prediction of Heat Strain
… be determined on guarded hotplates, on sweating manikins or even on human subjects. Previous studies have demonstrated that the thermal manikin is the most ideal instrument for testing clothing evaporative resistance. However, the repeatability and reproducibility of manikin wet experiments are …

Analysis of the Effects of Hypoxia on Cognitive Processing Ability
… University High Altitude Lab. Throughput manikin and throughput math were tested for each participant at normal SpO2 level, and at 2.5 minutes, 9.5 minutes, 16.5 minutes, and 23.5 minutes into exposure to the normobaric hypoxic environment in the High Altitude Lab. The primary analysis …

The Effect of Posture During CPR on Rescuer Muscular Fatigue Development and CPR Quality
… performed six-minutes of CPR, on a training manikin, at four heights (KH, LH, FH, WH). EMG of sixteen muscles, kinematics of the manikin, and kinetic data at the hands were collected. The MPF identified that four, six, four, and nine muscles fatigued during KH, LH, FH, and WH, respectively. …

Autonomous Cricothyroid Membrane Detection and Manipulation using Neural Networks and Robot Arm for First-Aid Airway Management
… to reach the detected position on a medical manikin. A hybrid neural network (HNNet) that can balance both speed and accuracy is proposed. HNNet is an ensemble-based network architecture that consists of two ensembles: the region proposal ensemble and the keypoint detection ensemble. This …

Semi-Open Space and Micro-Environmental Control for Improving Thermal Comfort, Indoor Air Quality, and Building Energy Efficiency
… work has demonstrated that the heat loss by the manikin was sensitive to the distance between the diffuser and the manikin. However, this effect was also related to the clothing material on the manikin. During the winter time, the idea of heating a person with only a warm air jet was shown to be …

The Effects of Acute Psychosocial Stress on Cognitive Performance
… basal and stressed conditions. Specifically, the Manikin task, Mathematical Processing task and Switching task were utilized. The Trier Social Stress Test protocol was employed to induce a psychosocial stress reaction in participants. Eight male volunteers were recruited as participants for this …

Intubation during spinal motion restriction using the Lubo TM cervical collar a minikin simulation study
… intubation using direct laryngoscopy on a manikin under two different scenarios: with the Lubo TM collar and MILS applied, and with MILS and no cervical collar. The time to successful intubation was measured and compared using two-one-sided and paired t-tests. Results: Intubation times fell …

A Book and its Cover: The effects of dynamic and static facial expressions on the perction of personality traits
… presence of the Halo Effect: The Self-Assessment Manikin (e.g., arousal, dominance, and pleasure) and four social perception questions (e.g., attractiveness, honesty, pleasing to look at, and threatening). Results indicate that participants were more accurate when identifying static scowling and …
