Using Ares
The following chest image identifies the location of the magnetic snaps.
Ares Torso
An AED can use the ECG signal to determine if a shock is necessary. You can deliver a shock to the
manikin. The electrical current from the shock is absorbed by the cable and SymDefib box. It does
not travel to the manikin or along the training pads. The SymDefib box measures and reports the
energy delivered via the Maestro software.
When demonstrating proper pad placement, learners should attach the SymDefib pads in the
appropriate locations on the manikin: one pad on dorsal connection and one on ventral connection.
Cardioversion
The cardioversion procedure will vary depending upon the brand of defibrillator that is being used.
However, the setup steps for the defibrillator will be the same as that described in the preceding
section. Refer to defibrillator manufacturer’s user guide for proper use.
Pacing
Pacing can be achieved by selecting the appropriate intervention in the Patient Status Panel on the
right side of the Run screen Connect the ECG leads to the posts on the manikin. This provides ECG
signals for leads I – III. The learner may choose to shock either synchronously or asynchronously to
the ECG rhythm. The Pacing Capture Threshold can be modified in the Maestro software.
The default
threshold is set at 50 mA.
When the current exceeds the Pacing Capture Threshold set in Maestro, the learner begins to see the
effect of pacing on the ECG and Maestro logs the current being provided.
