Clinical Signs
Eyes
Eyes can be used as an indicator of a
patient's condition and/or conscious-
ness during an assessment.
Convulsions
Simulated convulsions can be
activated at the facilitator's
discretion.
Temperature:
Myocardial oxygen supply and

demand automatically influence the
cardiac rhythm, yielding response to
hypoxemia (Modeled only).
Temperature:
Changes in arterial temperature may
Blood
alter the position of the standard
oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve
(shift). As temperature increases or
pH decreases, more oxygen is
released from hemoglobin and thus
the patient's saturation decreases
(Modeled only).

a gravity feed.

Head Secretions (Prehospital Only)

Secretions of the eyes, nose, and mouth are manually controlled with a gravity feed.
Note: An IV bag is needed for each site in use.
To use the head secretion features:
1. Using a 50 ml syringe, prime the line of the desired secretion by injecting fluid into the
NOSE, MOUTH or EYES port on Apollo's left shoulder until fluid emerges from the
secretion sites.
2. Set up the IV pole near the simulator.
3. Fill an IV bag with the clinically appropriate fluid. Use distilled water only,
with food coloring, if desired.
4. Hang the IV bag on the IV pole.
5. Ensure the roller clamp is closed and insert the IV spike into the IV bag.
