If you have ever done a first aid course, the chances are you have been intimate with Resusci Anne. Launched in 1960 to solve the problem of how to practice life like mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, she has been nick-named "the most kissed girl in the world" and to put it plainly, she is getting on a bit. More sophisticated mannequins have been manufactured in recent years and Resusci Anne's creators Laerdal have now brought out SimMan 3G, the next generation of simulator, able to mimic an array of medical complications. He has a pulse, he can cough and wheeze, his eyes can water, his jaws can lock and his body can breathe and convulse. Those are just the visible features but he can also simulate breathing complications, cardiac arrests and reactions to drugs" - BBC
