under the victim’s clothing with only the wound showing.

A variety of simulated sounds are available to enhance realism. Sounds are controlled through the
instructor software and a patient must be running in the software for any sounds to be available.
To auscultate sounds on the Apollo manikin, be sure to locate a stethoscope prior to beginning a
simulation.
