Today's diversity crisis: CPR mannequins are too white and too fit

Mannequins used to practice life-saving CPR aren’t diverse enough, doctors have claimed.

Researchers want to ditch the reliance on default ‘lean white male’ models.

Doing so will help overcome ‘bias’ among bystanders and help improve the survival of other groups, they say. …

Academics from Canada and Argentina found fewer than 10 per cent of mannequins used to promote CPR on social media represented black or Asian people.

None were of pregnant women and barely any were of fat people, according to the study.
