Using Apollo
Chest Compressions
The manikin supports normal hand placement and standard compression techniques so that chest
compressions can be performed. Apollo can detect the compressions, and the physiology responds
accordingly.
ECG
On Apollo, a 5-lead ECG is emitted from the appropriate positions for display on a standard monitor.
To produce ECG signals on a monitor, connect the lead unit to the ECG contacts (or snaps) located on
the manikin.
Note: The ECG posts are supplied with the accessories kit and need to be installed at the locations
indicated.
5-Lead ECG Sites
The simulator generates a normal sinus ECG, as well as a broad range of abnormalities such as:
• Myocardial ischemia
• Sinus tachycardia and bradycardia
• Ventricular fibrillation and asystole
The hemodynamic response to the arrhythmias is physiologically correct. Myocardial oxygen balance
and cardiac ischemia automatically influence the cardiac rhythm resulting in a realistic and automatic
