Using Apollo
2. Connect the T-fitting extension to the hose.
3. Take the non-invasive blood pressure reading using the return-to-flow technique.
At appropriate cuff pressures, the radial pulse disappears and Korotkoff sounds are produced.
Gastrointestinal System
Apollo produces realistic bowel sounds. Auscultation of normal and abnormal bowel sounds can be
performed with a stethoscope. In addition, on Apollo Nursing, gastric lavage and gavage can be
administered.
Gastric Gavage and Lavage (Nursing Only)
Apollo Nursing has a gastric reservoir that allows for simulated nasogastric gavage and lavage.
Before each use, ensure the reservoir has been drained completely. The reservoir should be primed
with 50 ml of fluid before performing gastric suction.
Gavage
To perform gastrointestinal gavage, ensure the reservoir is empty and infuse fluid according to
procedure using a standard nasogastric tube.
Note: Cleanup is very important when using simulated fluids.
Note: Ice the nasogastric tube if extra rigidity is needed for insertion.
Lavage
To perform gastrointestinal lavage, ensure the reservoir is empty and infuse fluid normally using a
standard nasogastric tube. Fluids can then be removed according to proper clinical procedure.
Gastric Lavage
Note: Ice the nasogastric tube if extra rigidity is needed for insertion. Cleanup is very important when
using simulated fluids.
