User:Datamatt/Arteries and You

Oh no, my artery just broke, what do I do?

Severed arteries are bad. They act much like internal bleeding, but more severe. You'll see blood gushing out of your character, but do not panic! Since these are lethal wounds, you need to retreat from whatever caused this injury if possible. Apply pressure by clicking the affected limb with help intent on (others can do this to you too!) or bandage the wound. You'll need to stay still for this to work. Both of these will lessen the blood loss.

NOTE: You WILL die with unchecked arterial bleeding.

Sliced tendons will prevent the affected limb from being used, much like dislocation. These are pretty rare and only happen with cutting weapons.

You cannot get IB. Only arterial bleeding. They have replaced IB.

How do I repair arteries and tendons?

Open the affected area and apply fixovein... or cable coil. Artery surgery is pretty much IB surgery, unchanged.
