Using Apollo
Chest Excursion
During ventilation (BVM, endotracheal intubation, etc.), the chest will rise with sufficient ventilation
volume.
The Live and Advanced configurations include spontaneous chest excursion that simulates a patient
breathing without the required external ventilation. The following chest excursion parameters can be
modified in Maestro:
• Respiratory Rate: Defines the number of excursions (chest rise) in one minute.
• Apnea: Disable the spontaneous chest excursion but still allows for excursion during
external ventilation.
• Tidal Volume: Changes the height of chest excursions.
• Intrapleural Volume: Disables chest excursion on the affected side but still allows for
excursion on the unaffected side.
Needle Decompression (Prehospital Only)
Needle decompression can be performed bilaterally into a small hole located in the midclavicular line
of the second intercostal space.
Bronchial
Occlusion
Completely obstructs the right or
left bronchi, simulating a lower
airway obstruction (e.g., mucus
plug).
From the Run

adjust Bronchial
Occlusion toggle.

Swollen Tongue Swelling of the tongue obstructs
the view of the larynx and prevents
intubation, but allows mask
ventilation of the patient’s lungs,
thereby creating a “cannot intubate,
can ventilate” scenario.

adjust Swollen
Tongue toggle.
