CAE Aria - Cardiovascular System Features

Features
See the Appendix A - Recommended Clinical Supplies section of this user guide for information
associated with the Respiratory System features of the simulator.
Cardiovascular System
Similar to the Respiratory System, the Cardiovascular System accurately simulates a wide variety of
hemodynamic conditions and responses.
Cardiovascular System
The simulated patient generates heart sounds, including a range of pathological ones that are
synchronized to the QRS complex of the ECG and are audible with a StethoSym assembly. There
are four heart sound speakers which can be controlled independently.
A standard blood pressure cuff and sphygmomanometer can be used with the StethoSym
assembly to assess blood pressure by palpation or by auscultating Korotkoff sounds on the right
arm.
Chest compression detection and advanced CPR Metrics that can detect hand placement, rate and
depth of compressions, chest recoil, ventilation volume and rate.
Carotid, brachial, radial, and femoral 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. The intensity of the pulse reflets current physiology or can be set to
absent, weak, normal, or bounding.
