Using Apollo
The chest tube must be fully inserted for the fluid to flow.
Note: Cleanup is very important when using simulated fluids. For more information on cleaning the
manikin's fluid system, see the Care and Maintenance section of this guide.
When the Chest Tube feature is used on Apollo Prehospital, the simulator automatically detects the
tube insertion and creates a log entry.
On Apollo Prehospital, if a small volume of fluid is needed to simulate proper chest tube insertion,
the internal reservoir may be filled.
To insert a small amount of fluid into the chest tube reservoir:
1. Insert the Apollo priming tube in the chest tube site.
2. Using a 50 ml syringe filled with clinically appropriate fluids, inject the
contents into the CHEST TUBE port (LEFT or RIGHT) until fluid is seen in
the Apollo Priming Tube. Use distilled water only, with food coloring, if
desired.
3. Remove the Apollo Priming Tube.
4. Inject the remaining contents of the syringe into the CHEST TUBE port.
5. Remove the syringe.
