PARAMETER(S):
Baroreceptor
Maximum Pressure,
Baroreceptor
Minimum Pressure
None required.
Cardiac Pacing A transthoracic
cardiac pacemaker
can be used with
Athena. Pacing
results in
appropriate
physiological
changes in blood
pressure and
cardiac output.
The instructor can
set the level at
which electrical
capture and
mechanical capture
occur.

locations and
instructions.
Cardiac Rhythms The various cardiac
rhythms can be
selected.
The response to
clinical intervention
must be controlled
by the instructor.

compression results
in artificial
