Ares Features System Controls Ares is designed to allow the instructor to focus attention on learner actions and reactions by providing a flexible set of tools that adjust to the instructor’s needs. Application Software CAE Maestro software is the application that provides the instructor a means to control all features of the simulator.
Using Ares SING Once the simulator is assembled, the Ares manikin is ready learners to practice and master new competencies, interventions, and skills during clinical scenarios. To create a fully immersive simulation experience with advanced intervention capabilities and realtime data feedback, all configurations of the Ares simulator utilize instructor-led software with programming capabilities.
Eyes Each pupil of the Ares manikin can be set manually to a fixed diameter of 3.5 or 8 mm (normal or blown) by carefully rotating the eye from left to right or right to left until the proper size appears.

With the manikin, learners can: • Manage difficult airways • Perform intubation and procedural suctioning • Recognize and resolve right mainstem intubation •...
Intrapleural Vol: Left, Intrapleural Vol: Right Nasal Packing Ares supports nasal packing. Nasal packing can be performed on both nares, utilizing ribbon, gauze, nasal packs, or tampons. To apply nasal packing: 1. Cut a length of ribbon gauze or use commercially available nasal pack or nasal tampon.
• Laryngopharynx Intubation The upper airway of the Ares manikin is designed to allow for intubation and laryngoscopy. Direct laryngoscopy as well as oral and nasal tracheal intubation can be performed using devices such as endotracheal tubes, nasopharyngeal airways, and oropharyngeal airways.
Using Ares 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.
• Intrapleural Volume: Disables chest excursion on the affected side but still allows for excursion on the unaffected side. Ventilation Ares supports manual bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation via face mask, endotracheal tube, and tracheostomy tube. Proper ventilation will demonstrate chest rise and fall. Manual Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) Ventilation...
