AB In summary, the risk of transmission of HIV and other infectious
diseases by saliva during CPR training practice is extremely low because
of low infectious virus titers and properties of saliva that inhibit
HIV. However, it is necessary to perform decontaminations of mannequins,
by application of a suitable disinfectant and by a mechanical wipe-down
with a sponge, to cleanse the external buccal area of the mannequin
after contact with each CPR trainee. For health care and public safety
professionals training and performance of MTM ventilation during CPR
should be carried out with barrier devices such as the bag-valve-mask or
face shield. Guidelines and standards of the AHA, American Red Cross,
and the CDC for prevention of infection during CPR and emergency cardiac
care are more fully available elsewhere. If the recommended procedures
are followed, the risk of acquiring HIV from saliva during MTM should be
extremely low.
