- Do you even realise you've seen this face before? Probably not, and the reason is really creepy.
"Resusci Anne, also known as Rescue Anne, Resusci Annie, CPR Annie, Resuscitation Annie, Little Annie, or CPR Doll is a model of medical simulator used for teaching both emergency workers and members of the general public. Resusci Anne was developed by the Norwegian toy maker Åsmund S. Lærdal and the Austrian-Czech physician Peter Safar and American physician James Elam, and is produced by the company Laerdal Medical. Anne is rumored to be modeled after a dead woman who died in the Seine.
The distinctive face of Resusci Anne was based on L'Inconnue de la Seine (English: The unknown woman of Seine), the death mask of an unidentified young woman reputedly drowned in the River Seine around the late 1880s. The toymaker, Åsmund S. Lærdal chose to use a woman's face on the mannequin as he thought male trainees might be reluctant to kiss a man's face. The face was sculpted by the Norwegian-Danish sculptor Emma Matthiasen.
The first version of Resusci-Annie was presented by Lærdal at the First International Symposium on Resuscitation at Stavanger, Norway, in 1960. Peter Safar and James Elam were attending the conference. Together they would join Lærdal in refining the design. Later versions included a simulated carotid pulse, eye-pupils that could dilate and constrict, and a system for recording the trainee's resuscitation performance on a paper tape."

Thank you
Since she was 16 that means all the Annie dolls have 16 year old girl faces on it
Getting to here you sing Michael Jackson, simply amazing! If anything glad I made it to 2024 to hear that.
Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" is actually the song most uses as the beat reference for chest compressions.
It's somewhat fitting that the face of a person who died from drowning is now associated with a training tool for saving people from just that.
You beat me to it, I was just going to say she failed to receive CPR (perhaps CPR didn't even exist then, I don't know), and now everyone pretends to perform CPR on her, almost like a vain, desperate act for redemption.
I think that if you drown that it's too late.
I was going to say "ironic", but the sentiment is still the same.
@@user-hs9cl3sy1lor an homage made in hopes that less people would meet her fate... what you said sounds so cynical.. lol
@@garrysekelli6776the entire point of cpr is to help someone who’s drown. CPR is used when they aren’t breathing, it doesnt matter if you think they aren’t coming back, always preform cpr because it absolutely can save someone who’s drown. Obviously it only works if you find them pretty immediately but we don’t know how long she wasn’t breathing for. My cpr instructor told us don’t worry about hurting someone when preforming cpr, they are literally dead and you are doing the only thing that can be done to save them so a few broken ribs or even a punctured lung is the least of their concerns
Using "Another one bites the dust" after someone has collapsed from a heartattack is probably something to have been reconsidered
Yeah, always use "staying alive" for positivity points
@@Ellie-rx3jt but what if I don't know the words to the "staying alive" song?
I tend to go with Imperial March.

The "Dead bitch face" sign really got me lol
yeah me too🤣🤣🤣
I’ve always been certain I, myself have an ideal ‘resting bitch face’, but now, I dunno. Maybe I do instead have ‘dead bitch face’, I shall inquire.
😂😂
I came down to the comments to make sure i wasn't seeing things, this is hilarious lol
That smooth criminal animation had me hooked from the very start
Animation? Didn't you mean to say angelic voice
Gripped as hard as MJ's scrotum
The two frames are awesome. We need an animated gif of that.
weird how in a roundabout way that she died from drowning and she inadvertently becomes the doll people learn to save people who have drowned (among other things).
i hope she is happy about it up there
That is called “irony”… many people don’t know the actual meaning of that word…
@@xNecromancerxxx 🤓
@@xNecromancerxxxIt's a lot like rain. On your wedding day. Or so I've heard.
If she’s anything like the average 16 year old, learning her face is the most-kissed face in the world would have her blushing and hiding under her bed.
You have given this girl her humanity back by telling her story, as much as can be told. You turned her from a mask and a dummy back into a person, recognising her as such. A thoughtful gift and a wonderful video, thank you x
This memoriam was a lot less plastic than her old one.
She was someone's baby and she mattered. This is a story worth telling.
"Dead b.... face"
Sure he did..
@@Dwigt_Rortugal Well, not really. Her parents/family didn't even identify her when they had her body on display.

Medic tf2
@@alexv3372thank you, I already knew of its origin but for the people who wouldn’t, thank you
I AM BOOLETPROOF!
I mean hey, broken ribs are gonna happen. They’re not breathing, their heart’s not breathing, they are DEAD, their day can’t get any worse.
Nice TF2 reference.
While working ICU as a hospital corpsman (medic) in the US Navy, I've broken some ribs performing CPR. This can happen especially on older people with brittle bones.
From Michael Jackson to Queen to a Toy Maker to a Dead teenager death mask,
What a ride lol.
2:00 Also, in a real emergency, reviving someone at the cost of some cracked ribs is generally better than keeping their ribs intact and pulse flat. Best not to risk forming the opposite idea into who you're training.
My wife is a nurse who has worked both in the ICU and ER, cracking ribs is a regular occurrence especially with elderly patients.
I'm trained in CPR, on this doll, but a friend of mine who isn't trained actually saved someones life but cracked some ribs. He's a skinny guy and resorted to stomping the chest with his foot. It actually worked. The guy didn't complain afterwards.
My father was a fireman for 30 years and told me about doing CPR on older people and how stuff would crack and you just have to keep going.
A couple years ago he had a heart attack and collapsed, I broke 4 of his ribs doing CPR but EMS managed to get him back so yeah, break the ribs, they can moan when they cough for a while afterward.
I remember my cpr instructor telling the class “if you don’t crack a rib you aren’t doing it right.”
@@BoredZozo I've heard that many times also. Best practice is designed to minimise rib damage as much as possible, but it can still happen. You shouldn't set out to crack a rib.
An incredible photo -
"The Kiss of Life" taken by Rocco Moribito.
Lineman Randall Champion accidentally touched a low voltage line (under 1000 volts) electrocuting himself and stopping his heart.
His colleague JD Thompson climbed up and performed mouth to mouth CPR until he began breathing. Champion was then carried down by Thompson whereupon medics took over.
Champion survived, and went on to live another 35 years.
The photograph won the 1967 Pulitzer Prize.
Very interesting. Never saw the photo before. Of course me not being American or whichever country this was taken in could account somewhat for that.
So another dude performed CPR on him?
Gross. That's sus.
@@stonecoldsteveaustin9353it was that or death
@@stonecoldsteveaustin9353 So you'd rather die than have another man perform mouth to mouth CPR on you?
Or you'd rather let another man die because of your own inadequacies?
You'd rather be called a homophobe than a hero.
When facing the family of the man you might have saved, and they ask why you didn't at least try to save him, you'll say what?
"No homo..."
What about when you are (possibly) referred to a male urologist?
Or when you are due a prostrate exam?
@calci2679 give me death I ain't gay that's cringe /s
There's something bittersweet about being not being remembered, but also renowned for something you'll even know about

@@doctorelijah ?
It's even more ironic to be known as the trainer who saves people from the fate you ultimately met
@@doctorelijah ?

I think it's kind of beautiful. The idea of an unknown person who likely died by drowning being immortalised as the symbol of resuscitation. Even if it was a case of them believing their self to be worthless, now they are a priceless part of both the art world and the medical field.
The saddest thing about the Annie story is that a 16 year old girl died and nobody missed her, rip young lady.
I work in EMS. Ever since I learned about this I can't stop thinking about it when we trains on manikins lol
I teach EMT, Paramedic, and BLS courses and manage to work this into all of my courses. Love the looks I get 😂
When you train on what now? Anyone educated enough to be an EMS responder should know how to spell mannequin...
nice...i lost my virginity to a "training" doll....her name was rhonda tho...we are still together
@@Adrian-vd6ji🥰
@@Adrian-vd6jiDunno what I'm missing here, but I'm glad you're happy either way 😄
I would say it’s a bit creepy but the fact that she had died by drowning and then being used for cpr devices is rather poetic
“ That’s why me and the other apprentices practice kissing on EVERY job site “

Oh.
Never mind. Hey uh, guys, stay out of the truck for a while."
@@Dwigt_Rortugal "Practicing CPR _again?_ This is the third time today! If you think you still need more practice, go to the YMCA. They have classes to train people in first aid."
Assuming more than 5% of your audience has CPR training is a grave mistake.
I had CPR training but the CPR doll was male, so not even all us with CPR training have worked on Annie.
I think you are mistaken. Prisons in America offer it. I suspect the percentage is much higher.
We do CPR for fun on the weekends, did you not get the invite?
@@IdefkmahnCan you give yourself CPR?
@@ct92404 yeah, just have to practice
No I haven't

same
I most certainly have not.

Yes you have
And the resusciation doll even made it onto a Radiohead album cover.
Scrolled way too far to find this.
Lol...ditto @@samuelscoville5177
One titled "The Bends" which is pretty ironic
I actually think she'd be smiling, knowing that her visage is used to save countless millions.
Conversely said procedure, had it been known in her time, could have saved her life.
I've taken some CPR classes for work and I've been told the bee gees staying alive is closer to the rhythm. Also if you do it right you may very well crack some ribs.
You WILL crack ribs doing CPR.
But since the person is already effectively dead, not like you're going to make things worse...
@@hawker7488 they told us about the good Samaritan law as well. If you injure someone while saving their lives they can't press charges since as you said they're pretty much dead or would be.
@richardsanchez5444 my CPR instructor for the Scottish Ambulance service told me that "Du hast" by Rammstein is closest at 120 bpm.
You'll never get it out of your head.
ruclips.net/video/W3q8Od5qJio/видео.htmlsi=uVL74ZTsPPDOr9y0
Yeah that was what they told us in HS CPR class - don't do CPR on a living (or likely to *keep* living) person; because the ribs are put right in the way to prevent you from doing anything to the heart, and to get a good compression in, they're gonna have to go
"Nellie The Elephant" is another song that's been used...
The Siene story is only one of the possible origins of the mask. There is another story that it was taken from a model who died of tuberculosis, and another one (which seems the most plausible) that the girl was not dead at all, and was the daughter of a mask manufacturer.
Last one does sound more believable because the face does have a faint smile to it.
@@FR4M3Sharmapeople can have a resting smile after death, especially if you smiled a lot in your life. Same for frowning, if you frown a lot, you'll frown in death too
@@sleeziestsleezy There's a lot of information out there on this. While I guess it probably is possible for a corpse to appear to be smiling, there are experts who have said the face of a corpse that had been pulled out of a river would not look like that.
It's worth reading about it online, there has been quite a lot of interesting research and speculation.
@@thepenultimateninja5797 I'm aware, aspiring mortician here! I haven't really considered bloating in my exhaustion, especially since that causes tongues to swell and force the mouth open. They do often look a certain way and distort faces a lot... It's really hard to say, maybe she wasn't dead for too long when she was found, that would be my only theory honestly. Maybe a medical researcher can dig into that more, I only know how the dead would look like. Not sure if there'd be enough information since it's an really old cold case
@@sleeziestsleezy That's what I'm saying; medical researchers and a ton of other experrts have dug into it in some depth already, because it's such a famous image.
Obviously, a lot of it is speculation, but it makes for some interesting reading.,
Let's all take a moment to appreciate the sign above the vendor booth at 4:42. This is Qxir's best single frame, from what it says, to the fact that it's partially obscured, to the face of the vendor...it all comes together so beautifully. 10/10
He's peaked. Its all downhill from here.

2:30
Very clever, hatchet wound, yep, definitely not a vagoo
yeah thats a vagene
Hmmmm
We now know that, for a fact, Qxir can draw porn as well
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
what's the difference
That song is done by Alien Ant Farm, and MJ loved that cover!
I do enjoy that version!
Hearing it always brings me right back to middle school just after the millennium.
@@jr2904air-headed Millennial checking in.
I HATE that cover, it’s so annoying. It’s obnoxious. At least the original has a good beat.
@@ct92404why you mad?
"You have seen this face"
Well. Now i definitely have. Thanks Qxir
Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" is actually the song most uses as the beat reference for chest compressions.
7:58 wow. That's a very emotionally moving ending statement, Q. Wasn't expecting that out of a Bottle vid.
I kind of like the Klingon way of thinking about death, really. There was one episode of Star Trek where a group of Klingons were taking refuge aboard Enterprise and one of them died. Picard asks the other Klingons what they'd like to do with the body, and the head Klingon replies, "We don't care what happens to it. That's not him anymore. His soul has moved on." And that's where my ethics come into this. Those hopes and dreams and personhood are somewhere else.
"It is a good day to die."
@@Dwigt_Rortugal Qapla'!
RIP sweet girl, such a sad tale.
kind of poetic that the face of a girl who drowned would go on to save countless others from drowning
1:17 Another song often used is "Stayin' Alive".
2:30 Oh no, that looks like something else.
Would be disgusting if that thing that losse
Having been up-close and personal with a “rescue Annie”, I learned the story of how she got her face some decades ago. I always found a certain sadness in knowing her face came from some one who died tragically.
Imagine if the dead girl real name was "Annie" (we don't know the real name is) and she's become "CPR Annie"
I love how you can be so funny, so insightful and convey such a humane perspective on things. Truly great bloke you
i love this series! i’ve binged all your back catalogue and now i’m impatiently awaiting more. thanks for the fix ☺️
I've done that too when I've first discovered qxir but it's been over a year since. The video that stuck with me the most is the KFC curse video. It's prolly the one that made me laugh the most too. That outrageously racist impression (in good taste imo) will probably stick with me till the day I die.
In a way, I’m sad that I’m already subscribed to your channel, because this one definitely deserves a sub. I never knew the origin of Resusci Annie, so I found this one fascinating. If it’s the genuine story, it’s sad that she died young and unknown, but the fact she’s now synonymous with lives being saved is a fantastic legacy to leave the world. I think I’d be happy with that.
Also, “Dead Bitch Face” made me laugh so hard, I had a coughing fit and nearly hacked up a lung…
3:09 i laughed harder than i allowed to 😂
I practiced on Annie soooo many times as an Army Medic (C 172nd SB) and later at hospitals... I never put the MJ connection together... Great vid @Qxir
I think that whoever she was she would be somewhat mortified that the pathologist profited off her death but she would also be glad that it ultimately led to countless lives saved.
Literally, what the fuck makes you think that? Don’t look too deep into this.
@@Adam-326Yeah, don’t speculate, don’t think, don’t reflect, don’t analyse - just go through life in vacuous, safe, socially comfortable ignorance.
@@catherinespark Dude, she’s just some random corpse that washed up in some random town.
I recently rewatched an old Jonathan Creek episode in which a woman is found dead with a smile on her face. It turns out she died from a rare poison that brings on a state of bliss just before someone dies. Annie’s face looks like she sensed the same.
Another notch on Qxir's List of "this is a subject that should be boring, BUT!" The smooth criminal connection was absolutely wild, thank you for this. i love obscure facts like that.
Yeah that was...smooth
What a humanizing, empathic and beautiful message for unknown serene lady at the end of the video. Bless your heart brother.
I absolutely LOVE that you included a few of your outtakes. I’ve been listening for years and I enjoy hearing the real human making all of the great content.
Another excellent way to start the weekend downunder. Once again, love the hilarious cartoons.
I don't think I've ever actually seen a Resusci Annie before in my life.
Wow, that's surprising. We even had CPR training in high school with these dolls (in the 90s).
I was always told to do chest compressions to “Staying Alive” which is in the same tempo range instead of “Another One Bites the Dust” because then the person will die
This channel is a blessing. Great and fun narrator, visualizing and cute artstyle and awesome stories!
she looks very peaceful
Yes, sometimes Ethics evolve. Lately they've devolved in the west. .
Humans will be humans. Every once in a while in history there is a brighter side to this. We take for granted a lot of things.
Solid work Qxir! Really good take from the bottle material. Got me thinkin, got me feelin.
So happy to see you are over a million subscribers!
The dummy looks more like a robot from a Will Smith movie.
Also, "Another one bites the dust" is next-level morbidly funny! 🤣
I had a thing for Annie at nursing school. Good to know her other roots.
Huh????
You wanted to to put your own musical instrument into the mix and kick it root down ….. what are you some kinda beastie boy or something?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤦🏼
@@xwolf6960 I often wonder if it is so. 🤔
The best rhythm for CPR is Stayin’ Alive, but I have heard of Another One Bites the Dust being used.
It's about the same rhythm. "Stayin" isn't 'the best rhythm' its just a song people knew and was easy to train to at one time. If you're training teens and 20 somethings now, "Stayin' Alive" isn't a song they're familiar with and would be a horrible choice to expect them to remember in the stress of an emergency. There's a whole list of songs you can use, and it helps if someone has a song they know well enough that they'll remember to use it.
4:45 I LOVE YOUR CENSORING THAT'S HILARIOUS
You had WAY too much fun animating Jackson there, Qxir... ;)
Im CPR certified and i just learned it stands for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation.
Hello Qxir, I am a nurse for NHS England, I have practised on Anne for the last 10 years without knowing the history, but I wouldn't have considered kissing Anne with lips as we used resuscitation masks instead so I wouldn't count for a lot of countries as a kiss and I wouldn't be doing that to strangers either. I will be adding this to random medical facts to pass on my colleagues.
Thanks for the video, I never gave any thought of the dummy's face so this is a fantastic piece of history.
The staying alive song was also written for CPR
Marty Mcfly in 1955: It's okay, I know CPR
17 year olds in 1955: what's CPR? Hey! I think he just took that guys wallet
The animations are still brilliant!
Sort of similar but the 'Most Beautiful Suicide' death mask takes this into a WILDLY different direction.
It's generally accepted that there is no such thing as privacy for the dead. Which is a good thing because Qxir does a lot of videos about images of gruesome deaths.
the way you pronounced michael jackson is amazing
I knew this. My mom was an army nurse, and i learned how to french kiss on this... :p
"Another one bites the dust" while giving CPR,
mixed messages.
Goodness this was one of the best and yet still strange stories that you have done.
The "Rib Bin" 😂😄🤣
Baby’s got the bends.. oh no
In Australia we use Staying Alive by the Bee Gees.
I feel like she would be more bothered by the fact she drowned rather than anything to do with her image.
3:18 I've actually been told the story about this. A lineman got shocked on a high voltage line and his buddy had to go up to give him CPR till the paramedics got there.
4:46 it's actually sad how they wouldve probably called her face in the 1880s
what do you mean? what they wouldve marketed it as?
@@jazzabighits4473 yeah. Probably not it's official name. But how people would nickname it.
@@doctormahrio5226 Oh okay, I get what you mean
Hi yeah I knew every aspect of the story you told.
I just wanted to say it was one of the best tales of the story I've heard. Thanks Connie
I've been told by EMTs that if you don't crack a rib you're not doing it right.
I fear the worst about that doctor who found the dead body pretty.
Like the Man Who Never Was.
Operation Mincemeat in World War II, the body of British officer Major Martin washed up the shore in southern Spain. The man drowned after his aircraft crashed. Attached to him was a satchel full of paperwork, love letters, photos, pay stubs, as well as plans for the Allied invasion of Greece and Sardinia.
Because Spain was technically neutral, they returned the papers to Britain. Major Martin’s body was interned in Spain with full military honors.
That wasn’t the end of it. Spain did have sympathies towards Germany. Spain did show the contents of the papers to German agents. That information was sent to Berlin. To show that the letters had been tampered with, a tiny hair was placed in the folds of the paper and then sealed in envelopes. When the letters returned to Britain and opened, the hairs were gone. They fell out when agents opened the letters.
The plan worked. Germany was duped that the next invasion would be Greece, sending their best troops, and armor, to repel an invasion that never came. Opening the door for the real invasion of Sicily in 1943.
Not only was Spain and Germany duped by fake paperwork, they also didn’t have Major Martin’s body. Because Major Martin didn’t exist. It was all fake. The paperwork was doctored. The photos of his girlfriend were that of a MI5 officer. The whole thing was a lie. The man’s real name was Glyndwr Michael, a homeless man living in Wales. He was found dead having eaten rat poison.
A body was needed for Operation Mincemeat. They got the perfect candidate. While he died homeless, Glyndwr ended up serving his country proudly, saving a lot of lives by lying.
Sad, yet touching and, beautiful.
Just noticed and i might be a bit late to this but congrats on passing a million subscribers!
I have enjoyed your videos ever since the "killer bulldozer" one came out.
Please don't change and keep up the good work :)
I've got a couple of these faces. I turned one into a mask for a slasher film I made in college.
Damn, that was such a sane thing of me to say
I wouldn't say the most "kissed" face ever. A kiss is intimate; special. CPR is a desperate pull away from death.
It's a face that countless trainees forever will try to resuscitate, but has long since died. It's an ongoing apology.
I like the poetic way you said that.....but to most, lips-to-lips is considered a 'kiss' even if affection isn't necessarily the intent.
@@ian3580 Yup. I kiss an absolute ton of dog faces in my daily duties (whether I like it or not), and while I'm fond of all the animals that come in and out of my care, I would not consider our relationships intimate. 😂
@@Nylak-Otter🤣🤣i died laughing 💀
After all these years, I thought Mr. Jackson was asking if his man Eddie was OK.
7:03 couldn't think of a more apt and concise way of describing the last 200 years of human history up til present.
I know, right?
There is nothing new under the sun.
I don't understand how history became such a devicive subject. It's simple, you can't view history through the moral lens of today. You ţake it for what it was. You learn from both the good and the bad. No one should hold historical figures responsible for "wrong think" using today morals. It makes no sense. Every religion, every race, every ethnicity, everybody has dark shit in their past and things that wouldn't stand up morally today. But we don't chastise history for that. We look back to learn while remaining focused on the future. Also, bear in mind that this is the first time in history there's been such a drastic change in morals and what's considered socially acceptable. Above all let's not forget there's a vast portion of society who don't agree with all of these drastic changes.
yapping
We were taught to do chest compressions to the beat of the Bee Gees "Staying alive" 😂😂
Friggin blew my mind with this one dude. Well done
Through her passing she has inadvertantly saved countless lives
Theres a morbid sort of beauty (not sure if thats the right word here) in that. Her passing saved tens or even hundreds of thousands of lives. We may never know who she was but you gave her memory something which gives her her humanity back
The CPR Annie has much wider eye span than the woman from the river.
I love your videos so good , so much information I never knew even existed it’s amazing 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It is crazy the number of factors that came together to make this cpr doll
Yo, I just wanna say I love your content. You always find the most interesting subjects to talk about.
Well at least she will never be forgotten. Many people never leave their mark in life.
OK this one was actually interesting and I hadn't heard of it before, well done, keep it up.
Great video. More outtakes please ❤
This is weird as hell to become a cpr doll...
this played the heart strings, without breaking the ribs
