Airway Management
The manikin’s anatomically realistic upper airway provides for the opportunity to intubate the adult
patient, while various clinical signs (e.g., breath sounds, chest excursion, airway patency) can be
simulated using software commands. Other airway features include:
• Hard and Soft Palate
• Oropharynx
• Nasopharynx
• Laryngopharynx
Intubation
The upper airway of the Ares manikin is designed to allow for intubation and laryngoscopy. Direct
laryngoscopy as well as oral and nasal tracheal intubation can be performed using devices such as
endotracheal tubes, nasopharyngeal airways, and oropharyngeal airways.
CAUTION: Airways can be damaged by improper insertion of an airway adjunct (such as
endotracheal tube). To protect the airway, lubricate the adjunct prior to insertion using the silicone oil
spray provided.
Use ONLY the provided SILICONE OIL to lubricate the adjunct. NEVER use a water-based lubricant.
Using a water-based lubricant can cause residue damage.
Laryngospasm
The Ares simulator comes with a manual laryngospasm feature to increase the difficulty of intubation
and to indicate the need for a cricothyrotomy. The feature is activated by manually injecting air into
the feature
using the yellow tubing, stopcock, and syringe assembly.
