ARIA FEATURES
CAE Aria is a wireless and tetherless patient simulator that displays the physical characteristics of a
seven-year old child. Aria enhances pediatric simulation-based education of healthcare workers by
helping them to develop critical decision-making and patient care skills in a risk-free environment.
This pedatric patient simulator offers a wide variety of features, both passive and facilitator
controlled using the CAE Maestro software. This chapter will identify the various features offered
with Aria and its capabilities designed specifically for training in emergency pediatric care.
Physiological Features
Aria presents patient reactions based on complex neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointenstinal,
genitourinary, and respiratory models. The manikin allows for the physical assessment of various
clinical signs (i.e., bowel, heart, lung and breath sounds, palpable pulses, chest excursion, airway
patency, etc.) that are dynamically coupled with the mathematical models of human physiology and
pharmacology.
Articulation
Aria is wireless, tetherless, and offers realistic articulation for range of motion exercises in the hips,
knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and neck. Aria also has cervical motion for the practice of patient
stabilization.
Neurological System
Aria is equipped with a number of features specifically targeted to support training for neurological
care. For more information, see the Using Aria section of this user guide.
Neurological System
Neck articulation (allows for stifff neck).
The blink mode, light reactivity, pupil diameter and blink speed of the eyes can be controlled from
the software.
SymEyes display patient symptoms and conditions, including jaundice, hemorrhage, keyhole pupil,
cataracts and bloodshot or droopy eyes. Blinking, panning and reactive eyes with multiple settings.
Scripted vocal sounds and speech, as well as wireless voice with VOIP.
The manikin can simulate seizures with rhythmic movement of both the arms and legs (Advanced
configuration only).
Intracranial pressure value can be set and displayed on the Patient Monitor.
Body and blood temperature can be set using software controlled temperature parameters.
Pain response can be observed by perfoming sternal rub (Advanced configuration only).
