Ares Features
See the Appendix A - Recommended Clinical Supplies section of this user guide for information
associated with the Respiratory System features of the simulator.
Cardiovascular System
Similar to the Respiratory System, the Cardiovascular System accurately simulates a wide variety of
hemodynamic conditions and responses.
Allows for retrograde and fiberoptic intubation.
Allows for transtracheal jet ventilation.
Allows for right main stem intubation with detection.
Nasal packing can be performed on both nares, utilizing ribbon gauze, nasal packs or tampons.
Direct laryngoscopy as well as oral and nasal tracheal intubation can be performed
The airway accommodates the use of standard clinical devices such as nasopharyngeal and
oropharyngeal airways, nasal cannula, nasal packing, endotracheal tube placement, and
tracheostomy tube placement.
Base Cardiovascular System
The simulated patient generates heart sounds, including a range of pathological ones that are
synchronized to the QRS complex of the ECG and are audible with the standard stethoscope and
StethoSym assembly over the left and right upper and left lower sternal border.
A four-lead ECG is emitted from the appropriate positions on the patient’s chest for display on a
standard monitor. The simulator generates a normal sinus ECG, as well as a broad range of
abnormalities such as sinus tachycardia, bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and asystole.
The 12-lead dynamic ECG display is available in the TouchPro software app.
Defibrillation, cardioversion, and pacing using live equipment via an optional SymDefib external
defib box. Conventional defibrillators can be applied to the simulator using the optional SymDefib
assembly. With this device, the delivered energy is quantified in real-time to trigger the appropriate
patient response. The ECG can be monitored via the defibrillator contacts.
The simulated patient can be defibrillated or cardioverted using the simulated functions via the
Maestro software. The instructor is able to adjust the levels at which the shock is delivered.
Palpable bilateral carotid and femoral pulses as well as, brachial and radial pulses are provided on
the right arm and are synchronous to the ECG. A pulse deficit automatically occurs if the systolic
arterial blood pressure falls below the set threshold, which can be adjusted by the instructor to
meet specific clinical and educational requirements.
Unilateral blood pressure measurement can be done on the simulated patient’s right arm using a
modified adult blood pressure cuff. Measurement can be done by both auscultation and
palpation.
