Using Aria
Posterior
Pharynx
Swelling/
Airway
Occlusion
Swelling of the posterior
oropharynx (posterior airway
occlusion) obstructs the view of the
larynx and prevents intubation, but
allows mask ventilation of the
patient’s lungs, thereby creating a
“cannot intubate, can ventilate”
scenario.
From the Run
Screen, tap
Respiratory and
adjust Airway
Occlusion toggle.
VIEW: Respiratory
CONTROL: ON/OFF
None required.
Bronchial
Occlusion
Completely obstructs the right or
left bronchi, simulating a lower
airway obstruction (e.g., mucus
plug).
From the Run
Screen, tap
Respiratory and
adjust Bronchial
Occlusion toggle.
VIEW: Respiratory
CONTROL: Left/
Right ON/OFF
None required.
Bronchial
Resistance
Resistance of the respiratory tract
to airflow during inhalation and
exhalation.
From the Run
Screen, tap
Respiratory and
adjust Bronchial
Resistance Factor:
Left or Right
VIEW: Respiratory
CONTROL: Left/

wall at the end of the sternum
demonstrating difficulty breathing.
From the Run
Screen, tap
Respiratory and
adjust Substernal
Retractions.

Swollen Tongue Swelling of the tongue obstructs
the view of the larynx and prevents
intubation, but allows mask
ventilation of the patient’s lungs,
thereby creating a “cannot intubate,
can ventilate” scenario.
From the Run

adjust Swollen
Tongue toggle.
