The University of Rochester Medical Center, in collaboration with the American Heart Association, introduced New York's first mobile hands-only CPR training station, according to a press release.
The teaching station includes a touchscreen with a video program to provide brief training followed by a practice session and a 30-second test. It has a built-in, rubber torso, or manikin, to guide proper hand placement as well as compression rate and depth. It offers real-time feedback to strengthen the technique.
Working with local organizations, the medical center will bring the portable system to various community locations, expanding opportunities for training.
The first stop will be at the Buffalo Bills Training Camp.
