Respiratory System
The Ares manikin includes respiratory features that allow learners to practice basic assessment and
life support skill sets. With the manikin, learners can:
• Manage difficult airways
• Perform intubation and procedural suctioning
• Recognize and resolve right mainstem intubation
• Perform needle decompression
• Perform cricothyrotomy
• Maintain tracheostomy sites
Respiratory System Controls
Ares uses both physical and mathematical models to achieve an extremely accurate simulation of
respiration. Ares’ chest rises and falls, mimicking inspiration and expiration. Ares’ lungs also react
realistically to intubation as well as to pathophysiologic states.

Control
Pneumotho-
rax or
Hemothorax
Increase in intrapleural volume,
leading to asymmetrical breathing.
None required, but
adjustable.

CONTROL: Intrapleural
Volume (Left or Right)
None
required.
Chest Excur-
sion
Synchronized with manual
ventilation. Excursion depth
proportional to tidal volume.
None. Apply
ventilation
via bag valve
mask.
Breath
Sounds
Normal and abnormal breath
sounds are independently
synchronized with ventilation of the
right and left lungs. Breath sounds
can be auscultated over anterior
anatomic locations.
