Physiological and Pharmacological Features
Ares presents patient reactions based on complex neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointenstinal,
genitourinary, respiratory, and pharmacological models. The manikin allows for the physical
assessment of various clinical signs (i.e., heart and breath sounds, palpable pulses, chest excursion,
airway patency, etc.) that are dynamically coupled with the mathematical models of human
physiology and pharmacology.
Articulation
Ares is wireless, tetherless, and offers realistic articulation for range of motion exercises in the hips,
knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. Ares also has cervical motion for the practice of patient
stabilization.
Ares’ left arm allows for IV placement in two sites: antecubital fossa and dorsum of the hand.
In addition to the standard configuration features, optional articulated arms may be added to
enhance the fidelity of the simulator.
Neurologic System
Ares is equipped with features targeted to support training for neurological care. The Base Ares
comes with Tristate eyes which demonstrate normal or blown pupils or closed eyelids. The
Advanced and Complete Ares comes with SymEyes.
Respiratory System
The simulator represents a realistic Respiratory System to achieve an extremely accurate simulation
of respiration. This system is tightly integrated with the Cardiovascular System.
Base Respiratory System Features
Upper airway sounds allow for auscultation of normal and abnormal lung sounds on the anterior
chest.
Spontaneous and mechanical modes of ventilation are supported.
Symmetric lung ventilation is supported in response to manual bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation
via face mask, endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube.
The simulated patient generates both normal and abnormal breath sounds, bilateral and
unilateral, which are appropriately synchronized with the respective phases of respiration. Breath
sounds are audible over the apex of each lung with the use of standard stethoscope and
StethoSym.
In the case of esophageal intubation, breath sounds, and chest excursion output are automatically
absent, but the stomach distends with positive pressure ventilation attempts.
Manual bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation demonstrates chest rise and fall.
