CPR manikin diversity for BLS education: Current status mapped by an international cross-sectional survey and steps to reach health equity

The vast majority of reported adult and pediatric CPR manikins are white, male/flat-chested, and lean, and thus lack diversification. Almost one-fifth of respondents indicated to put a bra on a "standard" manikin to simulate a female manikin. Research into diversified manikin use, how to overcome barriers, and its impact on educational and clinical outcomes are needed.
