Ares Features
Cardiovascular System
Similar to the Respiratory System, the Cardiovascular System accurately simulates a wide variety of
hemodynamic conditions and responses.
Base 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 the standard stethoscope and
StethoSym assembly over the left and right upper and left lower sternal border and apex.
A four-lead ECG is emitted from the appropriate positions on the patient’s chest for display on a
standard monitor. The simulator generates a normal sinus ECG, as well as a broad range of
abnormalities such as sinus tachycardia, bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and asystole.
The 12-lead dynamic ECG display is available in the Patient Monitor software app.
Defibrillation, cardioversion, and pacing using live equipment via an optional SymDefib external
defib box. Using the SymDefib assembly, the delivered energy is quantified in real-time to trigger
the appropriate patient response. The ECG can be monitored via the defibrillator contacts.
The simulated patient can be defibrillated or cardioverted using the simulated functions via the
Maestro software. The instructor is able to adjust the levels at which the shock is delivered.
Palpable bilateral carotid and femoral pulses, as well as brachial and radial pulses are provided on
the right arm and are synchronous to the ECG. A pulse deficit automatically occurs if the systolic
arterial blood pressure falls below the set threshold, which can be adjusted by the instructor to
meet specific clinical and educational requirements.
Unilateral blood pressure measurement can be done on the simulated patient’s right arm using a
modified adult blood pressure cuff. Measurement can be done by both auscultation and
palpation.
The manikin supports unilateral intravenous access at the antecubital fossa and dorsum of the
hand sites on the left arm. Fluids and medications can be administered, and blood can be drawn
via syringe or with the vacuum sealed blood collection system.
Performing CPR on the manikin provides realistic chest compression depth and resistance.
Software metrics detect hand placement, rate and depth of compressions, recoil, ventilations, and
ventilation:compression ratio.
