Using Ares
Nasal Packing
Ares supports nasal packing. Nasal packing can be performed on both nares, utilizing ribbon, gauze,
nasal packs, or tampons.
To apply nasal packing:
1. Cut a length of ribbon gauze or use commercially available nasal pack or nasal tampon.
2. Insert the nasal packing into the nasal cavity using forceps.
3. When the simulation session is complete, remove the nasal packing material.
Bronchial
Occlusion
Completely obstructs right and/or
left mainstem bronchi, simulating a
lower airway obstruction (e.g.
mucus plug). This yields an inability
to ventilate the lungs and
asymmetric chest excursion.
From the Run screen, tap
Respiratory and adjust
