Resusci Anne[edit | edit source]
Resusci Anne, colloquially known by several names including Rescue Anne, CPR Annie, Little Annie, and Resuscitation Annie, is a specialized medical simulator model extensively used for instructing emergency professionals and the general public in the lifesaving technique of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).
Historical Background[edit | edit source]
Resusci Anne's origins trace back to a collaborative effort between a Norwegian toy maker and medical professionals.

The production and distribution of this vital training tool is managed by the company Laerdal Medical.
Design Inspiration[edit | edit source]
An intriguing aspect of Resusci Anne is her facial design. The face was inspired by L'Inconnue de la Seine, a death mask of an unidentified young woman who is believed to have drowned in the River Seine during the late 1880s. This mask has been widely recognized in various artistic circles, making Resusci Anne not only a significant tool in medical training but also a figure with historical and cultural implications.
