Using Ares
Laryngospasm
The Ares simulator comes with a manual laryngospasm feature to increase the difficulty of intubation
and to indicate the need for a cricothyrotomy. The feature is activated by manually injecting air using
the yellow tubing, stopcock, and syringe assembly.
Laryngospasm Assembly
To replicate laryngospasm:
1. Attach the yellow tubing to the port on Ares' left side labeled LARYNGO.
2. Pull back syringe plunger and fill syringe with 50 ml of air.
3. Attach syringe to stopcock and inject air into manikin.
4. Turn stopcock off to manikin and remove syringe from stopcock.
5. To release laryngospasms, open stopcock to air.
Gastric Distention
During esophageal intubation or overly aggressive bag-valve-mask ventilation, gastric distention
occurs. Gastric distention is relieved by putting pressure on the abdomen.
