SmartMan is improving how CPR is performed. When you train on SmartMan, you will immediately know what you need to work on. Maybe you have a tendency to lean on the chest and prevent a full recoil or maybe you get tired towards the end of your cycle and errors start to occur. Maybe you need to work with your partner on the change over; maybe you need to develop a new way to perform ventilations or effect a better seal.

SmartMan Megacode makes tracking of Critical Events accurate and easy. It is the only system to focus on the quality of CPR performed during the code training. It gives debriefing the information needed to know where and how to improve.  

Australia Resuscitation Council
Reports on a 54 month study where a county in the USA moved to using SmartMan. Results showed survival rates doubled with the improved CPR. Also with use of SmartMan Retention Rates for performance of CPR remain high. In the last 2years of the study retention rates remained above 80%. (ARC Australia Resuscitation Council, May 2013)
