Cardiovascular System Controls
With Ares’ Cardiovascular system, users can replicate the clinical signs associated with cardiac
activity, including palpable pulses, heart sounds and electrical activity.

Software Control Manual
Control
Heart Sounds Normal and abnormal heart sounds
are synchronized to the cardiac cycle
and audible with a standard stetho-
scope and a Stethosym assembly.
Heart sounds can be auscultated
over the left lower sternal border
and apex.
None required; specific
sounds can be
selected.
From the
Run screen,
tapclick Sounds and
select Heart tab.
None
required.
4-Lead ECG ECG waveforms can be viewed on a
standard monitor and/or on the
TouchPro Patient monitor. Normal
and abnormal cardiac rhythms are
linked to patient physiology (e.g.
blood pressure, cardiac output).
None required; specific
rhythms can be
selected.
ECG monitor
may be
utilized.
Myocardial
Ischemia
Myocardial oxygen supply and
demand automatically influence the
cardiac rhythm, yielding response to
hypoxemia.
None required, but
adjustable.
None
required.
Palpable
Pulses
Carotid, brachial, radial, and
femoraland pulses can be palpated
bilaterally and are synchronous with
the cardiac cycle. A pulse deficit
automatically occurs if the systolic
arterial blood pressure falls below
specified thresholds.
None required, but
adjustable.
VIEW:
Available on all
views on the Run
screen
None
required.
Non-Invasive
Blood Pressure
Measurement
Systemic blood pressure can be
measured using the return-to-flow
technique. Korotkoff sounds can
also be auscultated.
None required. Use of
modified
blood
pressure
cuff.
