Ares Features
Simulated Clinical Experiences
The Ares simulator is a manual-driven, script-controlled system designed to simulate a patient’s
physiological condition, clinical signs, symptoms, and responses to certain clinical interventions.
Simulated Clinical Experiences, or SCEs, are process tools that enable the faculty/educator to execute
a learning strategy using simulation. Each process tool provides an extensive overview and outline of
the learning exercise and requires minimal additional faculty development time for use. Each SCE is
comprised of a patient and the scenario.
Ares includes six preconfigured SCEs, or clinical simulations, that cover a range of events and
crises.
• Cardiopulmonary Arrest
• Closed Head Injury and Pneumothorax
• Heroin Overdose
• Inferior-Posterior Myocardial Infarction
• Sepsis with Hypotension
• Stroke
In addition to the SCEs that are included with the Base Ares, five CAE EMS Learning Modules are
available with 10 SCEs per module. Also available is an Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) learning
module with 11 SCEs based on the AHA Guidelines and a Pathogens of High Consequence learning
module with 4 SCEs (COVID-19, Pandemic Flu, Ebola and SARs).
Each SCE includes the information below and can be printed from the Maestro software:
• Background information and patient history
• Synopsis
• Learning objectives
• Learning performance measures
• Equipment and supplies suggested for the simulation
• Facilitator notes
• Debriefing points
• Teaching Q&A
