When I deal with prolapse, I clean the vent every few hours with witch hazel. It's soothing and wet and may help keep swelling down. In the morning my patient gets the butt wash to clean up the slime deposited overnight.
I like placing my patient on absorbent towels so I have a better chance of seeing what gets expelled, although sometimes it's not something that's readily visible. Sometimes the only way I know the obstruction has cleared is when the prolapse finally retracts on its own, and then my patient often behaves as though she hasn't spent the past week in agony.
