Guide to Medicine

The body is composed of body parts, within which are bones and organs. If a body part is damaged, the organ or bone within may also be damaged. All organs can be repaired with Peridaxon and surgical organ repair. Broken bones must be repaired surgically.

Brain
The brain is the most important organ in the body, and every other organ supports it. As long as your brain isn't dead, you're not dead. The more an injury harms the other organs' ability to support the brain, the more urgent it is.

The brain starts out with an integrity of 100%. Brain injury lowers that number, causing symptoms that start with headaches and blurred vision and progress to dizziness, fainting, and paralysis. If brain integrity reaches 0%, your patient is brain dead. There's no coming back from brain death.

Low oxygen
The brain gets its oxygen from the blood. Your patient's blood oxygenation is a number from 0-100% which can be checked with a medical scanner. Blood oxygenation below 85% will start to damage the brain; blood oxygenation below 40% damages the brain at a faster rate.

Causes of low blood oxygenation include:
 * There is not enough blood in the bloodstream. Restore blood volume with IV drips.
 * The blood is not carrying oxygen. Either the lungs are damaged, or there is not enough oxygen in the air around the patient. If the lungs are damaged, Dexalin (Plus) can bypass the lungs and provide oxygen to the blood directly.
 * Blood is not being pumped effectively because the heart is damaged, or has stopped.

Direct Harm
If the head is damaged, the brain may be damaged. Beyond the obvious burns, bullets, and bludgeons, the brain can also be damaged if someone moves around with a broken skull or an object lodged in their head.

Toxins
Even if the brain gets plenty of oxygenated blood, organ-damaging toxins will still harm it. Some toxins damage the brain directly, bypassing the liver and kidneys.

Treating Brain Damage

 * Stabilize the patient.
 * Inaprovaline slows brain damage from low oxygen.
 * A Blood or Saline Plus IV restores blood volume.
 * Dexalin and Dexalin Plus partially oxygenate the blood if the lungs are failing.
 * To restart a heart that has stopped, perform CPR, apply a stabilizer harness, or administer adrenaline.
 * If toxins are damaging the brain, remove them.
 * Use the Dialysis function in the sleeper to remove toxins from the blood, or the Stomach Pump function to remove toxins from the stomach. If the toxins have already been metabolized (i.e., are no longer in the blood or the stomach), they have done their damage and cannot be removed.
 * Repair other organs. If the other organs cannot support the brain, the brain will continue to degrade.
 * To repair a damaged heart, perform Surgery or administer Peridaxon or [[Chemistry|Adipemcina].
 * To repair damaged lungs, perform surgery or administer Peridaxon or Pneumalin.


 * Repair the brain.
 * Mild brain damage will resolve with restoration of blood flow and inaprovaline.
 * Moderate brain damage can be treated with Alkysine or Peridaxon.
 * Moderate to severe brain damage can be treated with surgery. Be aware that if you have not re-established blood flow to the brain, repairing the brain directly with surgery can cause scarring. This weakens the brain, making it more vulnerable to injury in the future.

Heart
The heart keeps your blood flowing. If blood doesn't flow, oxygen doesn't reach the brain; if the brain doesn't get oxygen, it gets damaged.
 * Function: Keeps blood flowing, and regenerates lost blood.
 * Symptoms of Damage: Hypoxia, blood loss, sharp chest pain, weak or high pulse rate upon examination with a stethoscope.
 * Causes of Damage: Chest trauma, damage from a high pulse rate, lung injury, brain damage, toxins and some drugs.
 * Repair: Adipemcina and organ repair surgery.

Pulse Rate
Monitor pulse rate with a hand scanner, or over sensors if they are enabled.

If the pulse rate is low, the patient is likely under the influence of a sedative, or has a low body temperature.

A high pulse rate can be caused by low blood oxygen, severe pain, or various chemicals. It is more dangerous than a low pulse rate.
 * Above 150 BPM, the heart begins to accumulate damage. A damaged heart causes reduced blood oxygenation until healed.
 * Above 250 BPM, the heart may stop.

Patients in severe pain may go into shock, which can cause the heart to stop. Lower their pulse rate with Inaprovaline and/or Perconol/Mortaphenyl/Oxycomorphine.

Blood flow is reduced if heart is damaged, and causes low oxygenation even with full oxygen and blood volume.

Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac arrest is indicated by a flatline on your medical HUD. It will quickly lead to brain death as the brain is deprived of oxygen.

If someone is in cardiac arrest, they are priority number one.


 * If you are ever in doubt what to do, put the patient into a stasis bag. You can scan them with your health analyzer and inject them with a syringe even if the bag is closed.
 * Apply CPR or put a stabilizer harness on the patient. Sometimes this can restart the heart on its own; but if the cause of the cardiac arrest is still there, it will stop again.
 * Adrenaline can restart the heart if the blood is oxygenated. Before administering, check the patient's respiration.
 * Administer inaprovaline to slow brain damage and stabilize the pulse.
 * If the patient is in severe pain, administer painkillers.
 * If the patient has low blood volume, get some blood into them with IV drips.
 * If the lungs are damaged, administer Dexalin or Dexalin Plus after restarting the heart.
 * If the lungs are undamaged but blood oxygen is low, they may have a damaged heart; treat for cardiac damage.
 * If you are non-medical, the patient is already in surgery, or you just can't get a doctor, administer CPR. Even if CPR does not restart the patient's heart, it will slow brain damage.

Lungs
Lets you breathe! Damage increases the air pressure needed to sustain optimal oxygenation.
 * Function: Provides oxygen to the bloodstream.
 * Symptoms of Damage: Hypoxia, gasping, sharp chest pain, weak respiration upon examination with a stethoscope.
 * Causes of Damage: Lack of oxygen, over/under pressurized atmosphere, phoron exposure, general organ damage, trauma to the chest.
 * Treatment: Peridaxon, organ Surgery, emergency reinflation via pen (in case of collapsed lung).

Treating Hypoxia

 * Make sure the patient has access to oxygen. If the patient is wearing internals, make sure that the air tank is full and switched on; empty internals will suffocate your patient.
 * Connect the patient to high-pressure oxygen via an IV stand with attached oxygen tank and mask.
 * Administer Dexalin or Dexalin Plus. These put oxygen into the blood directly, and do not work if the heart is not pumping blood.
 * Administer Pneumalin to treat lung damage, or perform surgery.

Eyes
Lets you see and examine stuff.
 * Function: Provides sight to the user.
 * Symptoms of Damage: Blurry vision, no vision, sharp head pain, damaged/unresponsive pupils upon examination with a pen light.
 * Causes of Damage: Welding without protection, phoron exposure, getting your eyes screwdriver'd or squished.
 * Treatment: Oculine or surgery.

Kidneys
Filters your blood! Actually it does nothing, it's incredibly niche.
 * Function: See above.
 * Symptoms of Damage: Toxin damage if you drink inject coffee into your bloodstream. That's it. That's how niche this is.
 * Causes of Damage: General organ attacks.
 * Treatment: Peridaxon.

Liver
The biggest line of defense against poisons.
 * Function: Reduces intoxication and prevents other organs from taking damage as long as it's still working.
 * Symptoms of Damage: Vomiting, other organs taking damage from general toxins.
 * Causes of Damage: High level of toxin damage, heavy alcohol consumption, direct trauma to the lower body.
 * Treatment: Dylovene (at 10 liver damage and below); surgery; Peridaxon.

Toxins damage the liver first, then the kidneys; the more damaged these organs are, the more the toxins will get through to damage other organs, including the brain.

Appendix
This serves no function other than to get sick and make you miserable.
 * Function: See above.
 * Symptoms of Damage: Pain, inflammation
 * Causes of Damage: Appendicitis, direct trauma to the lower body.
 * Treatment: Surgical removal.

=Triage= Triage is medical's word for "priority" regarding patients. The goal of triage is to stabilize patients, not cure to 100%. Generally this comes into play when there is more than one patient. Wearing a medical HUD will allow you to assess a patient's basic status at a glance. The HUD will show a "pulse line" of your patient. This is not a true indicator of health, but of their heart rate.


 * a patient with a green line and a steady pulse line has a healthy beats per minute (BPM).
 * a patient with yellow, more "hurried" line has a heightened BPM; this means their heart is beating rapidly, probably due to pain or hypoxia.
 * a patient with a red, flickering line has a rapid, weak heart rate. They are starting to go into shock.
 * a patient with a flat, flashing red line is in what is called asystole, or "flat line". They need immediate attention.
 * a patient with a blue line and slowed heartbeat has a lowered BPM. This is most commonly caused by chemicals such as Pneumalin.
 * a patient with a black line has no heart activity at all. They are either dead, have an artificial heart, or are from a species that does not have a heart.

Triage Tags
As a medic, you have the ability to apply triage tags to your patients, which show up on medical HUDs. From highest to lowest priority:
 * Red tag: Needs resuscitation. Most urgent. Patient has no heartbeat, or an extremely rapid and weak heartbeat; patient is not breathing; arterial bleeding; very low blood volume. Patient is unstable and getting worse.
 * Yellow tag: Urgent. Unconscious, rapid heart rate, bleeding, severe pain.
 * Green tag: Non-urgent. Broken bones, bullet removals, minor organ damage. Stable patients go here.
 * Blue tag: Walking wounded. Facial reconstruction, eye damage, bruises and cuts.
 * Black tag: Dead, or dying and cannot be saved with the resources available.

A person dies when their brain dies, which usually happens when their brain is starved of oxygen. People who are low on blood or who have weak heartbeat or respiration are at a greater risk of dying than someone with a broken leg. So work your way down, treating critical first, and saving those who can wait for last.

Triage and You: The Handbook
A large, comprehensive guide on how triage works with our current medical facility. Authored by Juani#1784 and Synnono#2558. In compliance with NanoTrasen employee healthcare provisions, and due to the increasing stress on the Medical Department's facilities, a renovation of the Medical Bay was approved last year. The objective of this renovation is to improve the Medical Bay's capacity to treat patients, as well as to make that treatment more efficient. New policy has been implemented with the new design, and medical staff are expected to work according to the guidelines outlined in this document. In addition to the renovations, the medbay is introducing a triage system to quickly identify patients with urgent medical needs. New patients will be classified as having a GREEN, YELLOW , ORANGE or RED triage level, depending on their condition when processed. The major changes to the department are as follows:
 * Centralized Triage Area (CTA): This room, equipped with two cutting-edge body scanners, will become the pillar of the Medical Bay. Located right next to the entrance, patients will be diagnosed here and assigned a color-coded triage level. Beds are available for patients awaiting treatment, organized by this triage level. Once assigned, patients will be redirected to one of the following areas:
 * Intensive Care Unit (ICU): This room, intended for patients of triage level RED or ORANGE, is equipped with all basic life support measures currently available. All supplies in this area must always be kept fully stocked. This room has one fixed and two mobile treatment beds, three refrigerated closets for stabilization equipment, a supply of blood packs and medication, one cryo-treatment tube and three IV drips. The area is signified by the color red and the ICU signs.
 * Emergency Surgery Pre-Operatory Room: Intended for patients of triage level ORANGE or higher. Located in a straight line from the ICU, this area is designed to stabilize critical patients, and is equipped with the equipment necessary to do so. The area has two mobile treatment beds, two IV drips and one cold storage container for blood packs. The area is signified by the color red.
 * Regular Surgery Pre-Operatory Room: Intended for patients of level YELLOW or lower. Its entrance is located at the west end of the CTA, and connected through a hallway to a waiting room. Patients will be instructed to wait for an assigned surgeon to call them into the Operating Theatre here. The area is equipped with personal storage lockers and a changing room for the safekeeping of patient belongings. The area is signified by the color blue.
 * General Treatment Room (GTR): Intended for patients of triage level YELLOW or lower. The purpose of this room is for the general treatment of diseases or injuries that are not urgent or do not require of life-stabilization measures. The area is equipped with two fixed treatment beds, two cryo-treatment tubes, one sleeper unit with dialysis capability, and one IV drip. The area is signified by the color yellow and the GTR signs.

Other sections of the Medical Bay have not changed, or do not follow a strict procedure for triage. Please be aware of the following information, as it pertains to the new medical layout: Yours, Yehtlas Mualt-Quaat, Chief Medical Director. NanoTrasen Corporation.
 * The Chemistry laboratory no longer connects directly to a publicly accessible area. For the purpose of easy access by the staff of the station, remote-control buttons have been installed at the reception desk and at the Chemistry desk. To access the desk, crew requiring access will need to get permission from the reception staff to access the consultation wing hallway.
 * The temporary morgue no longer uses morgue trays. Medical staff are asked to keep the temporary morgue as clear as possible, and store cadavers in the permanent morgue on the medical sub-level as soon as possible.
 * A pneumatic Medi-Express system has been installed, to allow for quick delivery of medicine to various areas of the medbay. The hub for this system is located east of the Chemistry Laboratory. To use the system, simply place the items to be delivered inside the bin labeled with the desired destination, and engage the pump. It will be delivered shortly, if the pneumatic tank is full. The Medi-Express system can deliver items to the Lobby, Main Storage and Surgery Wing.
 * Windows have been installed in the Operating Theatres. These windows are equipped with an electrically-activated opacity system, toggled by a switch in each Operating Theatre. Usage of this system is mandatory during all surgical prcedures to preserve patient privacy.
 * Noticeboards have been installed in the Surgery Wing for each Operating Theatre, for posting scans of any patients about to enter treatment.
 * Access to the medical bay will generally be restricted to medical staff and patients awaiting or receiving treatment. Patients in long-term recovery are allowed to receive no more than one visitor at a time. This restriction does not apply to security detainees, who may be accompanied at all times by up to three security officers. Visitors may be instructed to wait at the waiting room located at the entrance of the Medical Bay. The ultimate authority in regards to these restrictions will be the Chief Medical Officer (and their superiors), who may modify them as they see fit. Charges of trespassing may be applied to visitors who violate this policy. Visitors who obstruct care to patients in violation of this policy may be held liable for resulting harm or loss of life. Please clarify any concerns with your facility's Head of Security.



= Procedures =

There are a variety of medical procedures that you can perform on your patients in order to help heal them.

CPR
If a patient's heart has stopped, there's no blood flow going to the brain. This can quickly result in brain death, and obviously should be corrected as quickly as possible, as mentioned above. However, if, for some reason, immediate resuscitation is not possible, CPR is a good way to extend a patient's life. Every time you perform CPR on a patient, it counts as one breath if their lungs are properly working, it circulates blood a little no matter what state heart is in, and with some luck, you might be able to restart their heart. Don't be afraid to crack some ribs while you're at it; remember, if they died with ribs intact, you didn't try hard enough!

CPR consists of two parts - the chest compressions to kickstart the heart and the mouth to mouth resuscitation to give them air. To perform CPR on a patient, they must be in cardiac arrest, and for the mouth-to-mouth part, neither of you can be wearing a mask or other mouth covering. Click on the patient with an empty hand in to perform CPR. This requires both of you to remain still for a short period. This can be repeated as many times as necessary until treatment can be administered.

Blood Transfusion
If a patient has lost a large amount of blood, they will require a blood transfusion to allow for full circulation and prevent further brain damage.


 * Prepare an IVdrip.png‎‎ IV drip with a Bloodbag.png‎‎ blood bag containing an appropriate blood type (see below). If the chemist has made some, you should use Saline Plus, which is more efficient and works for all blood types.
 * Ensure that the IV drip is in Inject mode.
 * Attach the IV drip to the patient.
 * Set the drip rate with right-click on the IV.
 * Monitor the patient's blood oxygen levels and pulse via health analyzer.


 * If an IV drip is not available, injecting the patient with blood from a syringe is a workable, if a slow and cumbersome, option.
 * Iron, nutriment, and protein speed up the patient's natural recovery of lost blood. If your patient is Skrell, they need copper rather than iron; if your patient is Vaurca, they need sulfur rather than iron.

Blood Compatibility
It's important to use right type, so bad things won't happen.

Blood between two different species is never compatible, even if it shares the same color. The pre-loaded blood bags in the Treatment Center storage closet contain a special kind of O-negative which can be given to any patient regardless of species without fear of rejection, but donated blood should be reserved for members of the same species.

If there is no O-negative blood available, and no precise blood type match as an alternative, look for a replacement by these rules:
 * Negative can take only negative.
 * All types can take O.
 * A can take A.
 * B can take B.
 * AB can take A and B.
 * O can take only O.

Cryogenics
Cryo is all about suspending someone in animation and healing them to boot! If someone is in a pretty bad way, tossing them into a (correctly set up) cryo tube will heal some types of damage and slow down other types of damage, sort of like a big stasis bag.


 * Cryo tanks function only below 170K.
 * The lower the temperature of the bath, the more effective the stasis function is.
 * The higher the temperature of the bath, the more effective the healing function is.

=Diagnostics=

Brute
Cuts, lacerations, and bruising all make up the red descriptions on the health analyzer, normally caused by physical trauma such as punching, getting hit with something, being dragged with open wounds, slamming into walls, depressurization, etc. Sometimes high brute values may break bones, which will require Surgery, or the limb may even become dismembered! Treatment for brute damage on its own is listed below:
 * Gauze: Heals 4 brute per wound. Stops bleeding.
 * Advanced Trauma Kits: Heals 8 brute per wound. Stops bleeding and also disinfects wounds if applied early.
 * Bicaridine: A red colored medicine which heals 5 brute per unit, meaning a full syringe will heal 75 brute damage. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Butazoline: A red colored medicine which heals 8 brute per unit, meaning a full syringe will heal 120 brute damage. Overdoses at 15u.
 * Tricordrazine: A purple medicine that heals all underlined damage, healing 3 damage per unit. Overdoses at 30u.
 * Do not mix Bicaridine and Butazoline, as this will result in the patient taking high levels of genetic damage.

Burn
Skins, burns, and scars make up the yellow descriptions on the health analyzer, normally caused by intense temperatures such as fire, extremely cold temperatures, lasers, and electrocution. Exceptionally high burn values may vaporize a limb, and can cause blood loss. Burns are easily infected. Massive amounts of burn damage may cause your character to be 'husked'. Treatment for burn damage on its own is listed below:
 * Ointment: Heals 4 burn per wound. Disinfects wounds.
 * Advanced Burn Kits: Essentially the burn variant of ATKs. Primarily used to disinfect burn wounds.
 * Kelotane: A yellow colored medicine which heals 6 burn per unit, meaning a full syringe will heal 90 burn damage. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Dermaline: An orange-yellow colored medicine which heals 12 burn per unit. Overdoses at 15u.
 * Tricordrazine: A purple medicine that heals all underlined damage, healing 3 damage per unit. Overdoses at 30u.
 * Do not mix Kelotane and Dermaline, as this will result in the patient taking high levels of genetic damage.

Toxin
While Toxin damage isn't technically damage in the sense Brute or Burn damage are, toxins can pose issues to treatment. They are most commonly identified as unidentified chemicals in a patient's bloodstream via a health analyzer. Treatment for toxins is listed below:
 * Dylovene: A green colored medicine which protects the liver against damage from toxins. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Fluvectionem: A dark purple colored medicine which removes all other chemicals reagents from the bloodstream, but causes mild liver damage. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Pulmodeiectionem: A dark purple colored medicine which causes the patient to cough up any reagents in their lungs when inhaled. Overdoses at 10u.
 * Dialysis or stomach pumps can be performed using the sleepers found in the GTR or ICU. This is a fast and certain way to remove toxins from a patient's bloodstream or stomach respectively.

Suffocation (Hypoxia)
Suffocation damage, like Toxin damage, isn't a real damage, but a general term for low blood oxygenation, seen via health analyzer. It may be caused by blood loss, damaged lungs or heart or lack of oxygen in the environment. Treatment for hypoxia on its own is listed below:
 * CPR: Time to put those first aid courses to use! As long as you and your patient aren't wearing anything that covers the face you'll be able to perform CPR to keep the patient alive for a bit longer by clicking them on help intent. This procedure must be repeated consistently in order to be effective.
 * Inaprovaline: A cyan colored medicine which doesn't actually heal hypoxia, but instead halts any further damage, and mildly kills pain. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Dexalin: A blue colored medicine which forces blood oxygenation up to 50%. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Dexalin Plus: A blue colored medicine which forces blood oxygenation up to 80%. Overdoses at 15u.

Genetic
Damage dealt by radiation, slime digestion, or coming out of a stasis bag, which the health analyzer can only determine by means of a red prompt, requiring a body scanner for a precise measurement of genetic damage. Treatment for genetic damage is listed below:
 * Cryoxadone: A pale blue medicine which heals the above damage including genetic damage, but requires that the body be cooled to 170 Kelvin or lower, usually by means of cryo cells.
 * Clonexadone: A pale blue medicine which works exactly the same as Cryoxadone, but does everything faster.
 * Cryo-Mix: A 1:1 mix of Cryoxadone and Clonexadone, works much like KeloDerm in that the two medicines work separately, therefore faster.
 * Rezadone: A green medicine which heals genetic damage without the need for cold temperatures. Overdoses at 20u, though 10u may induce dizziness.

Radiation
Damage dealt by exposure to the Supermatter, being injected with radioactive reagents, being in unshielded areas during a radiation storm, or destroying/activating particular artifacts make up radiation damage. A hand scanner will detect radiation exposure, but a body scanner is needed to determine its extent. Treatment for radiation damage is listed below:
 * Hyronalin: A green medicine which heals 30 radiation per unit, albeit slowly, but does not heal the resulting damage of radiation. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Arithrazine: A green medicine which heals 70 radiation, albeit slowly, but has the side effect of dealing some brute damage. Overdoses at 20u.

Organ
Damage represented on the body scanner that corresponds with the trauma inflicted on organs, either by certain poisons, severe physical trauma, bones moving in the area organs are present (lower body, chest, head), or certain items necessary for function being absent. An organ is considered dead at 30 damage. The mostly deadly form of organ damage is brain damage, which leads to death at 100 damage instead of 30. Treatment for organ damage is listed below:
 * Peridaxon: A purple medicine which heals 1 organ damage per unit, and heals all internal organs. Overdoses at 10u.
 * Alkysine: A yellow medicine which heals 30 organ damage per unit, but only heals the brain. Overdoses at 10u.
 * Oculine: A pale lavender medicine which heals 5 organ damage per unit, but only heals the eyes. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Adipemcina: A green medicine which heals 2 organ damage per unit, but only heals the heart. Overdoses at 20u.
 * Pneumalin: A purple medicine which heals 1.5 organ damage per unit, but only heals the lungs, and only when inhaled. Overdoses at 15u.
 * Inaprovaline: A blue medicine which heals the brain if it's below minor damage. Overdoses at 20u.

Blood Loss
Blood carries oxygen to various areas in the body of a patient, and without oxygenation (whether by lack of air or lack of blood, in this case) the patient will slowly decline in health until they die, therefore stopping bleeding is your top priority, and should be treated as a critical injury. For low blood levels, administering Dexalin will help with the oxy damage resulting from blood loss, and will help alleviate the risk of brain damage as a result. Critical blood levels, however, will result in massive spikes of hypoxia and annoying toxins. Blood loss also results in losing lots of nutrition. Symptoms of blood loss can be found below: Treatment to stop bleeding is listed below: Once the bleeding has ceased, you will have to help the patient raise their blood count. The following are some methods to assist with that:
 * 89% of original blood volume/501u and lower:
 * Low blood oxygenation - Visible on your hand scanner.
 * Patient feels dizzy - They will state vocally that they feel dizzy/faint.
 * Patient rapidly becomes hungry - Low blood generates hunger. Oddly enough, the nutrition used doesn't correlate to the amount of blood regenerated.
 * 60% of original blood volume/336u and lower:
 * Patient feels extremely dizzy - Emphasis on extremely.
 * Patient has trouble seeing - Cloudy vision and having a hard time keeping their eyes open.
 * Patient is unconscious - Not enough blood to keep them conscious, which means they can't tell you about their peril.
 * Increasing oxygen damage - Determined with the analyzer, but the prompt above will probably tell you that before you read their damage.
 * Pale skin - As a result of high oxygen damage, determined by examining with a grab.
 * 40% of original blood volume/224u and lower:
 * Aggressive oxygen damage - At this point, the oxyloss will start escalating quickly.
 * Increasing toxin damage - Assuming the patient survives to this point without dying, toxins will begin to manifest.
 * 21% of original blood volume/122u and lower:
 * Huge spike in toxins - Like, 300 damage or so.
 * Death.
 * For external bleeding cases:
 * Pressure: Getting an aggressive grab and help intent clicking the limb with the grab in hand will apply pressure to the wound, slowing the bleeding, but not stopping it entirely. If you are bleeding, help intent click the limb and you will begin applying pressure. This should only be used if you have nothing to treat the bleeding and are waiting on someone else to bring gauze/ATKs.
 * Gauze: This is the most basic item in medical to treat cuts and lacerations provided you have enough of it.
 * Advanced Trauma Kit: ATKs are better than gauze as they can disinfect the wound when it's used, and instantly heals 8 brute damage per wound.
 * For internal bleeding (IB) cases:
 * Cryogenics: Placing a patient with internal bleeding into a (correctly setup) cryo tube will both halt (not fix) the bleeding and stop it from getting worse. This is a temporary solution.
 * Bicaridine and Inaprovaline: These two medicines together (they have to be together, not separate) will prevent the internal bleeding from worsening, but will not halt the bleeding.
 * Surgery: The main method of treating internal bleeding is through surgery by means of the Fix'O'Vein.
 * Bicaridine: Overdosing Bicaridine (30u) will, of course, deal toxins to the patient, but it may clot internal bleeding. Generally a last resort if none of the other methods are available.
 * Coagzolug: Coagzolug can help slow bleeding, buying you more time to treat a patient. Overdoses at 10u.
 * Dexalin/Dexalin Plus: Will assist in oxygenating the blood, helping to prevent potential brain damage.
 * Iron: A simple reagent that must be ingested in order to work. Replenishes 8u of blood per unit.
 * Nutriment: Basic nutrients. Must be ingested. Replenishes 4u of blood per unit.
 * Protein: Animal proteins found in meat. Must be ingested. Replenishes 4u of blood per unit.
 * 20 Iron, 20 Nutriment, 20 Protein: The three reagents mentioned above in one 60u pill, which can replenish blood rather quickly as there are three separate reagents.
 * IV Drip with compatible blood: Bloodbags can hold 200u of blood (a little less than half a patient's total blood volume) and is generally a fast method of replacing blood.
 * IV Drip with Saline Plus: Administering 1.5u/tick of Saline Plus will rapidly replenish their blood and works for all species.

IVDrip.png Drips
Speaking of IVs and blood bags, you should probably know how to use them, since blood loss sucks so bad, it's also bad by extension to not know the primary method of treating it. IVs are just objects you can pull around that transfer reagents from a container - preferably blood bags - into a patient's bloodstream via needle. This can be accomplished by clickdragging the IV onto the patient to hook them up. Here are a few features of the IV, most accessed via right-click context menu: Additionally, blood bags can have their displayed type determined by using a pen on the bag.
 * Injects and draws blood. The drawing mode will ping once the patient reaches 90% blood volume.
 * Transfer rate can be adjusted between 0.001 and 4 units per second, important for IB cases.
 * Fits reagent containers, and is not actually limited to blood bags, good for keeping someone sustained on a medicine.

Infection
Infections sprout when a wound isn't treated and disinfected in time, and is accompanied by a fever (check temperature). If left alone, infections can rapidly kill a patient, even exponentially if it's bad enough. Infections are commonly identified by means of the body scanner. The following are the levels of infection: The following are some symptoms of infection based on where it's located: L2 infections and lower require only 15u of Thetamycin and monitoring. Having at least 5u of Thetamycin in the bloodstream will also prevent infections from spreading from one limb to another. Leporazine is also capable of staving off fevers. L3 infections require far more Thetamycin. Regardless, immediately pairing with Dylovene and Tricordrazine to accompany the high toxins is a good idea. The following will go over further necessary treatments:
 * L1 (Mild): Pain messages and the start of fever.
 * L2 (Acute): More pain messages, infection becomes more prevalent and visible.
 * L3 (GANGRENE): Beginning of lethal toxins, organ death, and necrosis.
 * Meningitis (Brain)
 * L1: Stiff neck
 * L2: Severe headache (+1 confusion at random intervals)
 * Conjunctivitis (Eyes)
 * L1: Itchy eyes
 * L2: Blurred vision (+10 eye_blurry at random intervals)
 * Endocarditis (Heart)
 * L1: Chest tightness
 * L2: Chest pain (+25 halloss)
 * Pyelonephritis (Kidneys)
 * L1: Lower back pain
 * L2: Malaise
 * Pyogenic Abscess (Liver)
 * L1: Right side abdomen pain
 * L2: Poor blood filtration (toxins buildup)
 * Pneumonia (Lungs)
 * L1: Coughing
 * L2: Shortness of breath (+30 oxyloss)
 * Staph Infection (All external limbs)
 * L1: Pain notificiation
 * L2: Sharp pain temporarily disables limb
 * Limb gangrene:
 * Conduct necrotic limb repair.
 * Organ necrosis:
 * Request a replacement synthetic organ from Research immediately.
 * Remove the organ via surgery and replace it with the synthetic counterpart.
 * If the brain or heart is necrotic, the patient will need to be constantly supervised and treated to prevent death.

Fractures
Bones fractures can be separated by three identifications: hairline, fracture, and broken. These three different types of fractures no longer play any part mechanically, though from an RP standpoint, hairline is the least severe while broken is the most severe (and therefore painful). Fractures can, however, deal damage to organs if they move around. Treatment for fractures is listed below:
 * Splints: A half-cast that keeps the fractured bone in place and prevents it from moving. This is a temporary remedy, and requires the following to actually treat...
 * Surgery: By means of bone gel and bone setter, a fracture can be mended rather quickly.

Dislocations
Not actually a fracture or even a problem related to surgery, but it will function as a fracture in that the limb will become incapacitated. Fixing it simply requires that you stand next to the patient and use the 'Undislocate-Joint' verb. If there are multiple dislocations, a prompt will appear asking which limb you would like to relocate.

Mycosis
Unsterilized K'ois happens to be a rather tasty snack... if you're a Vaurca, anyway. If you're any other race, you're going to have a really bad time. Aside from containing phoron, K'ois (excluding K'ois bars found in unhacked vendors) can cause a myriad of problems which can all be summed up as Mycosis, a term used to describe fungal infection. Early stages of K'ois infection involve pain and coughing blood. Stage 2 brings about respiratory issues. Stage 3 involves feelings of something squirming inside, as well as phoron and K'ois paste beginning to fill the patient's lungs, dealing large toxins. Fungal spore emission begins at Stage 4 which will embed and grow more K'ois, spreading to anyone who doesn't have their own internal atmosphere setup.

Treatment for K'ois infection is dangerous for both you and the patient. You must wear internals - a sterile mask or gas mask on its own will not work - in order to avoid breathing in spores and infecting yourself. Once you've ensured your internals are running, begin the K'ois removal procedure and treat the remaining toxins and blood loss. If the patient is already at Stage 4, it is top priority that they be kept isolated from everyone else, otherwise the fungus will spread to others and make everything worse.

Mental Trauma and Policy

 * All characters with a Medical Doctorate degree are capable of diagnosing mental trauma, as well as prescribing medication for their diagnosis.
 * Surgery trained Medical personnel are fully capable of Neuro-surgery where necessary to treat mental trauma.
 * Chemists/Pharmacists are fully capable of synthesizing mental medication, but they cannot diagnose mental trauma, or prescribe medicine.
 * Psychiatrists/Psychologists are the foremost experts on this type of illness, they are the only capable of advanced treatment (Hypnosis, Crystal Therapy, and Isolation) and they should be the first to treat mental trauma when available.

Healthanalyzer.pngh Analyzer
Probably the number one go-to tool in diagnostics (up there with the HUD and body scanner) is the health analyzer, a pocket-sized device that you can use on a patient to assess their health. Health bar showed up? Analyzer. Someone says they don't feel well? Analyzer. Below is an example of what you would see on a slightly injured patient. Keep in mind, the basic analyzer won't show you the numbers, but only a description of their current state. Science can make an advanced analyzer, which will show precise readings.



[[File:Bscanner.gif]][[File:Bscanner_console.gif]]The Body Scanner
Essentially a stationary and much bigger health analyzer. This section will cover what the screen will look like and what you can derive from it.

As you can see, this provides much more information, probably the most sought after info being anything below the Body Status heading.
 * Overall Health
 * Name: Just the name of the patient and their current state. Conscious, unconscious, dead.
 * Species: The species of the patient. See below for how each race reacts differently to treatments.
 * Health: The real overall health of the patient. 100 is perfect health, -100 is dead.
 * => Damage: The four main types of damage that can be pulled from a health analyzer.
 * Radiation Level: How many rads the patient has soaked. See Radiation Damage above.
 * Genetic Damage: How much the patient's skin is falling off.
 * Estimated Brain Damage: How much organ damage has been dealt to the brain.
 * Estimated Paralysis Level: How much time is left until the patient wakes up/can move.
 * Body Temperature: Temperature measured in Kelvin and estimated in Celsius.
 * Viral Status: Tells whether or not a pathogen has been detected.
 * Blood Status
 * Blood Level: How much blood the patient has.
 * => Reagent: How much of a certain reagent there is in the blood stream. Other is pretty much anything that isn't already on the list, which can represent either good or bad reagents.
 * Body Status
 * Organ: Tells how much burn and brute damage an organ/limb has, as well as information about it if applicable.
 * Actions
 * Print Report: Will print out a page of what you already saw on screen. Best done when the patient has fractures or organ damage. Printed reports that are no longer being used should be placed in the filing cabinet behind the reception desk.

Other Tools
Some other fancy but somewhat niche tools to diagnose issues within a patient are as follows.

Breathanalyzer.pngh Analyzer
The breath analyzer is capable of ascertaining the status of a patient's lungs, and whether or not they have alcohol in their blood.

Not much info, but it'll do:
 * Oxygen Levels: This will quickly inform you if someone's oxygenation is pretty bad. Values above 25 oxy damage will be marked as abnormal.
 * Lung Health: Quick way to determine lung damage. Even one damage is enough to tell you that there's a problem. 10 damage and up indicates a rupture.
 * BAC: How much alcohol has made its way into the blood, usually from drinking alcoholic drinks. Unless there's heavy intoxication (0.12 and higher) or something more severe, it's probably fine to ignore this.

Stethoscope.pngoscope
The stethoscope is rather ancient but it is still a valuable tool to have, as it's capable of diagnosing problems with hearts and lungs. Aiming at the chest and clicking the patient with a stethoscope in hand will tell you about their heart and lungs. The stethoscope can also be attached to your jumpsuit.
 * Heart
 * Weak/odd heartbeat - Heart damage or high hypoxia.
 * No heartbeat - The patient is dead, or they have a synthetic heart. Or they're just joking around.
 * Lungs
 * Wheezing/gurgling - Lung damage or high hypoxia.
 * No breathing - They are dead.

Penlight.pngght
The penlight is yet another tool capable of diagnosing organs, this time the eyes. Aiming at the eyes and clicking the patient with a penlight in hand will tell you about their eyes.
 * Their eyes narrow - Patient's eyes are fine and functioning normally.
 * Visible damage - Self explanatory.
 * Slow reaction - Blurry vision.
 * Delay between both eyes - Brain damage.
 * Pinpointed pupils - Opiates.
 * Dilated pupils - Other non-beneficial drugs.
 * Glowing - Patient has a mutation.
 * No reaction - The patient is dead or their eyes are damaged beyond function.

Grabbing and Examining
If you have nothing else, then your eyes can give you a rough idea of how a patient is doing. If not your eyes, then your hands when you grab a patient.
 * Examining - Examining is simply done by shift clicking the patient, or using the right-click context menu and clicking Examine.
 * Bleeding
 * Bleeding cut on limb - They're obviously bleeding from the limb in question.
 * Blood soaking under clothing - They are bleeding under the clothing in question. For uniforms this can mean their upper or lower body.
 * Brute Damage
 * Bruise - Patient was attacked with a blunt object. Ranges from tiny to monumental.
 * Cut - Patient was attacked with a sharp object. Ranges from scabs to massive flesh wounds. High chance of bleeding.
 * Puncture - Patient was likely shot. Ranges from punctures to gaping holes. High chance of bleeding.
 * Burn Damage - Patient was burned, either from fire/freezing temperatures or electrocution. Ranges from skins to carbonized limbs.
 * Grabbing - Grab examines are done by grabbing someone and clicking on them with the grab in hand on help intent. You do not need to let go and grab again when switching which limb to examine.
 * Wounds - Will inform you of any burns and bruises on the target limb. See above.
 * Bones - Will inform you if the patient's limb is broken or not.
 * Skin
 * Reddened and Warm - Patient has a septic infection on the limb in question.
 * Unhealthy Discoloration - Patient has high toxins.
 * Unusually Pale - Patient has moderate hypoxia.
 * Decaying Limb - Patient's limb is necrotic.

=Common Treatments= So we're past the quick guides and diagnostics, now it's time to elaborate on how medicine works inside the patient. The Guide to Chemistry may be a good page to visit to get a good idea of what each particular medicine can do.

Syringes.pngtions
This is the most common, quickest, and effective way to administer treatments to patients, involving medicine being injected straight into the bloodstream to be metabolized immediately at full effect. Injecting the patient is usually left unhindered unless they are wearing armor devoid of an injection port, something that voidsuits and hardsuits possess. Generally when you read about the effects of medicine, it's implied that those are the results you will get if you inject it into the patient. Note: Syringes spawn with a cap which keeps them uninfected. Using the same syringe over and over will increase the risk of infection and will pass viruses from one patient to the other. Use new ones! Hyposprays can be found in the medical doctor lockers in the medical sub-level. They act like syringes without the risk of causing infection upon re-use.

Pillbottle.png
Pills are the second most common way to administer medicines, which are taken orally and metabolize at half effect in comparison to injection. Pills are mostly used for low-priority treatments or prescriptions, and are best shoved down the victim's throat whether they like it or not given to the patient along with instruction to swallow it. A patient wearing anything that covers the mouth will obviously be unable to take pills, making them unideal for patients in EVA gear.

Autoinhaler.pngation
Inhalers are a recent addition to the medical side of Aurora, and medicines from inhalers are obviously inhaled into the lungs. All medicines - save for a few such as Dexalin - are 3/4 as effective as injecting when inhaled, which is a quarter above pills at least. Autoinhalers found in aid kits come with 5u of Dexalin, but the contents can be removed/replaced by using a syringe on the inhaler. Non-expendable variants can be found in the CMO's office and in chemistry equipment lockers, along with small 15u cartridges that can be filled with whatever.

Traumakit.pngal Applications
This mostly applies to bandages and ointment, kits and equipment that you can use on a patient from the get-go. While we do not have medicinal patches, we do have trauma and burn kits for basic wound treatment, as well as for sealing bleeding and disinfecting wounds.

=Loadout= Improving the likelihood of a patient's survival depends not only on your medical knowledge but also on what's available to you, particularly medicines and equipment on your person. The following will go over an optimal loadout, though nothing is stopping you from experimenting; these are merely recommendations, and it may do well to inquire other experienced medical players as to what their loadout is.

Common Equipment
The equipment that most doctors have equipped:
 * [[File:MedGlasses.png]] A medical HUD can evaluate someone's health from a glance, and even hide the health bar if their health is at 100%. Can also view patient records, allows you to set their physical status (useful for setting patients to SSD or deceased), and allows you to add comments to a patient's record.
 * [[File:Medicalbelt.png]] A medical belt to store your medicines. Has seven slots and is obviously worn around the belt slot.
 * [[File:Bottles.gif]] A bottle of Dylovene and Inaprovaline, as well as an empty bottle/beaker to mix the two into Tricordrazine in your belt. Additionally, if a Chemist is available, Bicaridine, KeloDerm/Dermaline, and Dexalin Plus are all important medicines to have.
 * [[File:Syringes.png]] A syringe to extract said medicines. Holds 15u and draws/injects by 5u with each click. Can fit on your ear.
 * [[File:Traumakit.png]][[File:Burnkit.png]] Advanced trauma and burn kits to help with brute and burn wounds respectively, along with disinfecting them. Typically found in the advanced kit that you spawn with.
 * [[File:Healthanalyzer.png]] A health analyzer for a more in-depth analysis of someone's health. Gives precise numbers as to someone's brute, burn, toxin, and oxy damage, and can even tell if someone has genetic, radiation, or brain damage, though not how much. Will also inform the user if the patient has fractures or internal bleeding, but not their location.
 * [[File:Labcoat.png]] A labcoat. Has storage space on the inside of the coat and allows you to use the suit storage slot.
 * [[File:LGloves.png]] A pair of latex or nitrile gloves to prevent infection.
 * [[File:Stasis_Bag_Folded.png]] A stasis bag to transport critical patients. These bags completely halt the progression of all damage, but they also deal genetic and oxy damage, meaning time is still of concern, and taking a patient out of the bag will crumple the bag up and make it useless.
 * [[File:WWebbing.png]] Webbing/drop pouches to store more items. Webbing and drop pouches are mechanically the same, the only difference being the name and sprite. Attaches to the uniform, found in the accessories section of the loadout tab in character setup.
 * [[File:Stethoscope.png]] A stethoscope to diagnose heart and lung injuries. Attaches to the uniform.
 * [[File:Rollerbed.png]] A roller bed to transport patients safely without dragging. Simply control click the bed, then clickdrag a patient onto the bed and you can start running without having to hunt for pixels to pull it. Can fit on the suit storage slot of the Rescue RIG.

=Machinery= Medical has quite a few bits and pieces of stationary equipment to help with the workflow, most of which are elaborated on here:

[[File:Bscanner.gif]][[File:Bscanner_console.gif]]Body Scanner
Pretty much a CT and MRI scanner shoved into one futuristic bed and console, and so much more! This is probably one of the most vital pieces of equipment for Medical as it can diagnose pretty much anything wrong with a patient. Some things it can do are, but not limited to:
 * Provide information on all of the damage types.
 * How much blood the patient has.
 * Show what reagents are in the stomach/blood stream, and how much there is.
 * Give a detailed analysis of each limb, including fractures, internal bleeding, the presence of implants, and if there are foreign bodies in the limb.
 * Print condensed information to hand to a physician in the event the patient requires surgery. These should probably go into the filing cabinet behind reception.

[[File:Sleeper.gif]][[File:Console.gif]]Sleeper
Next are sleepers, beds that specialize in treating most side effects of trauma, but are otherwise an endless reservoir of some basic medicines. Some features of the sleeper are:
 * Gives estimated readout of patient's health by means of number values and colored bar graphs.
 * Allows the injection of:
 * Dylovene
 * Inaprovaline
 * Soporific
 * Perconol
 * Dexalin
 * Can conduct dialysis on a patient to remove anything that isn't blood (such as toxins, but medicines are included in this) from their blood stream.

[[File:Cryo.gif]]Cryogenics
A true marvel of Medical are its cryogenic tubes, allowing the use of certain medicines that can only be used at sub-zero temperatures, namely Cryoxadone and Clonexadone, which are both capable of healing lots of damage over time. If not for healing genetic damage, it should be noted that one unit of medicine taken from the tube's beaker is multiplied into ten units inside the patient! It can also halt bleeding (including internal) and halt the symptoms/damage of infection.

[[File:Freezer.gif]]How to Set Up
While a nice piece of equipment indeed, it requires some prep in order to use it to its full capacity, namely putting the beakers in and setting the gas cooler. Placing the beakers inside the cryo tube is as simple as taking the beakers on the table in hand and clicking on the tubes with them. As for the gas coolers, head to the freezer room, which is the room past the south-most door in the GTR. The coolers are on the north end of the room, just click on them and set the temperature between 10 and 80 Kelvin, though no lower or higher. Too low could draw a lot of unnecessary power, while setting it too high may slow down how fast the medicine inside the patient can work. Generally 63 Kelvin is the desired temperature.

=Goodies From Departments= Medical has interactions with other departments besides just treating their injuries, surprisingly enough. Research can fabricate new tools and equipment, Cargo can order important medical stuff, and Security can hopefully restrain lunatics.

Research
Research can fabricate a number of nice tools for Medical, most of which will be described here:

Surgical

 * [[File:Scalpmanager.png]]Incision Management System (IMS): Requires high tier research and diamonds, but this tool is invaluable to have. One click can create an incision, clamp bleeders, and retract the skin at the same time!
 * [[File:Laserscalp.png]]Laser Scalpel: Different versions depending on what's available to Research, but this basically works as a scalpel and hemostat combined when opening an incision.

Chemistry

 * [[File:BluespaceBeaker.gif]]Bluespace Beaker: Requires diamonds but is immensely useful for chemistry, holding 300u as opposed to its non-bluespace counterpart which can only hold 120u.
 * [[File:Noreact.gif]]Cryostasis Beaker: Reagents won't mix or react inside this beaker, but it can only hold 60u. Not very useful outside of easier grenade production.
 * [[File:Combatinhaler.png]]Combat Inhaler: An inhaler capable of dumping all of the contents of a cartridge into the patient's lungs. Use with care!
 * [[File:Inhalercart.png]]Large Inhaler Cartridge: 30u cartridge for inhalers. Double the capacity of the small cartridges that show up in chemistry.
 * [[File:InhalerBS.png]]Bluespace Inhaler Cartridge: 60u cartridge, bigger is better obviously.

Quality of Life

 * [[File:Powercell.png]]Super Capacity/Hyper Capacity Power Cells: Pretty much just the RIG benefits from a bigger cell, but hey, leg actuators are fun to use!
 * [[File:Medibot.gif]]Medibots: Either helpful, annoying, or totally useless. Swiping your ID over it will unlock its maintenance panel, allowing you to alter a few options. One option that should be turned on is to report treatments over HUD, while one option that should be turned off is the medibot's speaker as leaving it on will just let it fill up your chat log with nonsense. Probably the most important feature is allowing it to draw from a beaker that you can insert, allowing you to make custom mixes. Unfortunately the bot cannot tell the difference between any of the damage types, only treating a patient once their overall health reaches a certain threshold, therefore take care to not load in medicines that the patient can easily overdose on.

Upgrades

 * [[File:Freezer.gif]]Gas Cooler: Upgrading the gas cooler will allow it to cool the gasses for cryo quicker.

Cargo
Cargo's a bit down the hall but here's some medical stuff:
 * [[File:Stasis_Bag_Folded.png]]Stasis Bags: Stasis bags are nice to have but there aren't many. In the event Medical is running low, it's always a good idea to order more.
 * [[File:Scalpel.png]]Surgical Tools: If you have to order this crate then something terrible has probably happened to the other tools.
