Chest Excursion
The manikin includes spontaneous chest excursion that simulates a patient breathing without the
required external ventilation. The following chest excursion parameters can be modified in Maestro:
• Respiratory Rate: Modifies the frequency of chest excursions.
• Apnea: Disable the spontaneous chest excursion but still allows for excursion during
external ventilation.
• Tidal Volume: Changes the height of chest excursions.
• Intrapleural Volume: Disables chest excursion on the affected side but still allows for
excursion on the unaffected side.
Ventilation
Ares supports manual bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation via face mask, endotracheal tube, and
tracheostomy tube. Proper ventilation will demonstrate chest rise and fall.
