Condition Guidelines for Programming ONDITION UIDELINES FOR ROGRAMMING This section is intended to help you select Müse conditions to achieve desired vital signs within each programmed state. All four conditions should be programmed into each state in the order presented below: •...
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Eyes: Pupil Control The pupil control parameters are used to control the diameter of the pupils in the eyes. Each eye has reactive pupils and functional eyelids that blink. Currently, there are four pupil options that are used to control the diameter of the pupils in both eyes: Modeled, Reactive, Blown or a Fixed Pupil Size (2 mm to 8 mm).
Müse Parameter Descriptions Default: Normal Reactive Pupils The Reactive pupils parameter determines whether pupils re-size in response to changes in light. When Reactive is selected, pupils re-size in response to changes in light. Reactive Options: • Reactive • Modeled • 2 mm •...
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Eyes: Consensual Pupil Response Setting the Consensual Pupil Response option to Yes enables synchronized pupil reactivity between both eyes. When enabled (default action), shining a light in either eye will cause the opposite eye to also react. When disabled, only the pupil of the eye where light is shined will react. Default: Yes Eyes: Condition Eight (8) eye Conditions are available for selection in the neurological patient controls window in...
Müse Parameter Descriptions Neuromuscular Blockade (NMB) The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models based on the neuromuscular blocking agents administered and the time course of their injection automatically determines the degree of NMB. For some educational applications, however, the instructor may wish to set a fixed degree of neuromuscular blockade that remains stable for an indefinite period.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Respiratory Rate The Respiratory Rate parameter is used to set the respiratory rate to a given number of breaths per minute. Once set, arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide values have no effect on the resulting respiratory rate, but continue to influence other components of the physiological models. The patient continues to breathe at the set number of breaths per minute, regardless of the arterial oxygen or carbon dioxide levels.
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Shunt Fraction The Shunt Fraction parameter is frequently used to assist in desaturating a patient. This parameter creates a physiologic “bypass” of the normal pulmonary circulation, resulting in changes in O , CO and anesthetic gases at the alveolar level. Typically, values of 0.1 to 0.4 are needed to create large alveolar-arterial oxygen gradients sufficient to cause arterial hypoxemia.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Tidal Volume The Tidal Volume parameter is used to set the tidal volume to a given volume per breath. Once Tidal Volume is set to a numeric value, arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide values have no effect on the tidal volume, but continue to influence other components of the physiological models.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Respiratory Parameters – Additional Fraction of Inspired Nitrous Oxide Alveolar Sevoflurane Fraction of Inspired Sevoflurane Respiratory Rate The Respiratory Rate parameter is used to set the respiratory rate to a given number of breaths per minute. Once set, arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide values have no effect on the resulting respiratory rate, but continue to influence other components of the physiological models.
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions pH Shift The pH Shift parameter is used to create a metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis under script control. The default pH value displayed on the Patient Status Display or TouchPro software is dependent on respiratory arterial CO values.
Müse Parameter Descriptions PaCO Set-point The PaCO Set-point parameter is a set-point for PaCO . The control-of-breathing model adjusts tidal volume and respiratory rate in order to bring the PaCO toward this set-point. Factors that influence the success of this control effort include baseline tidal volume, baseline respiratory rate, respiratory gain, O consumption, respiratory quotient, lung compliances, chest wall compliance, bronchial resistances, the presence of artificial airways in the simulator and the inspired gas mixture.
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions PetCO - PaCO Factor The PetCO - PaCO Factor adjusts the end-tidal CO relative to the PaCO . At the default value of 1, PetCO very closely approximates PaCO . When PetCO - PaCO Factor is set at a value of 2, PetCO is approximately one half of PaCO .
Müse Parameter Descriptions Chest Wall Capacity The Chest Wall Capacity parameter sets the total (combined) intrapleural and lung volumes at which the chest wall is considered distended. Also, see Chest Wall Compliance Factor and Distended Chest Wall Compliance Factor. Default: 3900 Range: 1500 - 3900 Chest Wall Compliance Factor The Chest Wall Compliance Factor parameter describes the interaction of the chest wall with the...
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Lung Compliance Factor: (Left and Right) These two parameters independently set the left and right lung compliance. Lung Compliance Factor determines how easily the lungs inflate. Low compliance factors (less than 1) create “stiff” lungs (such as in acute respiratory distress syndrome or pulmonary edema) requiring more pressure for expansion.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Fraction of Inspired Enflurane The Fraction of Inspired Enflurane parameter is used to simulate the amount of enflurane set in the anesthetic vaporizer and is used to calculate alveolar enflurane. This parameter has a faster effect on physiology than anesthesia machine settings, because mixing in the breathing circuit is not simulated.
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Alveolar Isoflurane The Alveolar Isoflurane parameter is used to simulate the presence of isoflurane in the alveolar space without using real anesthetic vapors. The isoflurane percentage is input to the drug models to achieve the expected pharmacodynamic effects (e.g., respiratory depression). Using this parameter bypasses pharmacokinetics, real and instructor-specified inspired fractions, venous content, lung perfusion and ventilation.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Fraction of Inspired Nitrous Oxide The Fraction of Inspired Nitrous Oxide parameter is used to simulate the amount of nitrous oxide set in the anesthetic vaporizer and is used to calculate alveolar nitrous oxide. This parameter has a faster effect on physiology than anesthesia machine settings, because mixing in the breathing circuit is not simulated.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Central Venous Pressure (CVP) The CVP parameter is used to set the CVP baseline and atrial contraction amplitude to fixed numeric values, thereby overriding the physiologic modeling for central venous pressure. Once set, intravascular volume changes have no effect on the CVP. In addition, once an override is applied, changes in tidal volume have no effect on the CVP waveform with the exception of an apneic patient where the minimum and maximum would be the same value since there is no inspiration or expiration.
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Heart Rate The Heart Rate parameter is used to set the heart rate to a given (fixed) number of beats per minute. Once the heart rate is set to a numeric value, administered drugs or intravascular volume changes have no effect on the heart rate, but continue to influence other components of the physiological models.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Cardiac Rhythm The Cardiac Rhythm parameter is used to change the patient’s underlying cardiac rhythm displayed on the Patient Status Display or TouchPro patient monitor. To change the cardiac rhythm, click the Cardiac Rhythm parameter and select the desired rhythm from the available list. If a number appears following the cardiac rhythm on the list, this overrides the heart rate to the rate indicated.

Müse Parameter Descriptions Central Venous Catheter The venous pressure displayed on the Patient Status Display or TouchPro software is set using this parameter. A non-pulsatile, “zero” pressure signal is emitted when the Atmosphere position is selected and can be used to simulate zeroing a pressure transducer. This may also be used to remove the central venous pressure waveform, if desired (e.g., beginning of an SCE with an “unmonitored”...
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Defibrillation (Defib) The Defib parameter is used to simulate a specified amount of energy discharged via an external cardiac defibrillator. Setting this parameter results in the characteristic spike in the ECG, followed by a return to the pre-defibrillation rhythm. Defib has no direct effect on the electrical conduction system of the heart.
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Baroreceptor Maximum Pressure Baroreceptor maximum pressure defines the mean arterial pressure (MAP) at which the baroreceptor inhibitory activity on the heart and systemic vasculature is maximal. When a simulated patient’s MAP increases above baseline pressure, the baroreceptor response exerts greater inhibitory controls on the MAP (e.g., reduction in heart rate) in an attempt to return the MAP to the patient’s baseline pressure.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Left Ventricle Contractility Factor The Left Ventricle Contractility Factor parameter adjusts the contractility of the left ventricle and has a direct effect on cardiac output and blood pressure. Use this parameter to raise or lower the cardiac output. Default: 1 Range: 0 - 10.00 Right Ventricle Contractility Factor...
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Systemic Arteries Compliance Factor The Systemic Arteries Compliance Factor parameter adjusts the pulse pressure (difference between systolic and diastolic pressures) of the simulated patient’s systemic blood pressure. Increases in the compliance factor result in a decreased (narrower) pulse pressure, while smaller values increase the pulse pressure.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Baroreceptor Gain (Overall) Factor The Baroreceptor Gain (Overall) Factor parameter adjusts the influence of mean arterial pressure (MAP) on heart rate, contractility, systemic vascular resistance and venous capacity. Use this parameter to adjust how vigorously the heart and vasculature respond to blood pressure changes. The degree of increase in heart rate or vascular response is influenced by the baroreceptor gain (overall) factor.
CAEAthena Müse Parameter Descriptions Chest Compression Efficacy The Chest Compression Efficacy parameter is used to determine the effectiveness of chest compressions administered by the caregiver. The 100% setting indicates that chest compressions are completely effective, while the 0% setting prevents them from having any effect on intrathoracic pressure.
Müse Parameter Descriptions Ischemic Index Averaging Ischemic index averaging determines how quickly myocardial ischemia develops in the presence of an unfavorable oxygen supply/demand ratio or how rapidly it resolves when myocardial oxygenation becomes favorable. By decreasing the averaging time (i.e., value toward 0.5), ischemia has a faster onset if there is a poor oxygen supply to the heart or a faster resolution with favorable oxygenation.

Chapter Heading Selecting the Radio Frequency Channel There are two ways to configure the radio frequency (RF) channel spacing. The first method reduces channel-to-channel interference, but allows only 12 channels to operate simultaneously. The second method increases the number of channels that can be used simultaneously to 20 channels. However, this method diminishes the channel-to-channel noise immunity.
DIP switch position 6 on the handset determines if the iPhone microphone input or the standalone microphone input is enabled. When DIP switch position 6 is set to the OFF position, the standalone microphone jack is enabled for the standalone microphone, provided by CAE.

CAEAthena Recommended Supply Sizes & Ischemic Index SCHEMIC NDEX EATH PIRAL The Ischemic Index is a measure of the myocardial ischemia modeled using classical determinants. When an unfavorable oxygen supply/demand ratio occurs, myocardial ischemia follows. The lower the Ischemic Index, the greater the myocardial ischemia. The Ischemic Index is derived through the underlying physiological models and cannot be measured clinically.
