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

Monitoring and Scenarios.
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 upper left and right sternal
border, the lower left sternal border
and apex.
None required;
specific sounds
can be selected.
From the Run
screen, tap
Sounds and select
Heart tab.
None required.
4-Lead ECG ECG waveforms can be viewed on a
standard monitor and/or on the
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.
Attach 4 ECG
leads to the ECG
posts and attach
to the cardiac
monitor.
Palpable
Pulses
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: From the
Run screen, tap
Pulse and tap on
the pulse location
desired to change
intensity and/or
pulse deficit.
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.
Volume of
Korotkoff sounds
can be adjusted
by tapping
Sounds on the
Run screen and
then the Korotkoff
tab.
Use of modified
blood pressure
cuff with T-
adapter. Connect
T-adapter to NIBP
connection on
manikin’s right
side.
