Using Aria
Respiratory System
The Aria manikin includes respiratory features that allow learners to practice emergency assessment
and life support skill sets. With the manikin, learners can:
• Manage difficult airways
• Perform intubation and procedural suctioning
• Recognize and resolve right mainstem intubation
• Perform needle decompression
• Perform chest tube insertion
• Recognize cyanosis (Advanced)
• Perform cricothyrotomy
• Maintain tracheostomy site
Respiratory System Controls
Aria uses both physical and mathematical models to achieve an extremely accurate simulation of
respiration. Aria’s chest rises and falls, mimicking inspiration and expiration. Aria’s lungs also react
realistically to intubation as well as to pathophysiologic states.
