Items

Diagnostics

The items for diagnosing the patient.

Health Analyzer Found in: Medical Storage, O2 Emergency Lockers all over the station Used for: Determining the patient's damage Strategy: Use it on your patient and see readings Description Whip this out and use it on someone to see a summary of their condition. As a medical professional, your PDA also has a built in Health Analyzer, just make sure to activate it before use. The results are broken up into sections: Overall health percentage Damage Type Blood Type Medical ID Temperature Infection warning (only appears if there is one) An ideal reading: Analyzing Results for [Character Name]: Overall Status: 100% healthy Damage Specifics: 0-0-0-0 Key: Suffocation/Toxin/Burns/Brute Body Temperature: 34.3943°C (93.91°F) Localized Damage, Burn/Brute: Limbs are OK. Subject bloodstream oxygen level normal | Subject bloodstream toxin level minimal | Subject burn injury status O.K | Subject brute-force injury status O.K

Pen Light Found in: Medical Storage, Genetics Used for: Determining the patient's eye condition or if the patient is alive Strategy: Toggle the light on, aim for the eyes and use on the patient Description Works like a flashlight, but with a much lower brightness. Used to identify blindness and x-ray vision - to use, target a patient's eyes.

Mass Spectrometer Found in: Medical Storage, Virology, Chemistry Used for: For seeing what reagents the patient has in their bloodstream Strategy: Draw blood from the patient with a syringe, inject the blood into the Mass Spectrometer and apply it in hand to see results Description A hand-held mass spectrometer which identifies trace chemicals in a blood sample. An Advanced Mass Spectrometer also gives you information how much of the chemicals are in the blood.

Stethoscope Found in: Medical Storage Used for: Listening to patient's pulse and respiration Strategy: Use it on a patient. ...or a safe. Description An outdated medical apparatus for listening to the sounds of the human body. It also makes you look like you know what you're doing.

Basic Treatments

These are your basic go-to items for stabilizing casualties and treating everyday brute, burn, toxin and oxygen deprivation damage. Every good medical professional should keep a few of these on them in case of emergency. Chances are you'll need them in a hurry.

Bruise Pack Found in: Medical Storage, Prison Wing, Dormitory Used for: Treating bruise damage Strategy: Aim for the damaged limb and apply the bruise pack on the patient Description Used to cure brute damage. Target the area with brute damage and apply. This works even on those in critical condition, so if someone has stabilized the casualty, either by Epinephrine or by giving CPR, whip out your Health Analyzer and apply where needed. Come in stacks of five. The chemical equivalent is Styptic powder.

Ointment Found in: Medical Storage, Prison Wing, Dormitory Used for: Treating burn damage Strategy: Aim for the damaged limb and apply the ointment on the patient Description Exactly the same as the bruise pack, except it is used to treat burn damage. The chemical equivalent is Silver sulfadiazine.

Medical gauze Found in: Medical Storage, Dormitory, Nanomed Plus Used for: Temporarily stopping bleeding Strategy: Apply the gauze on the patient - aim for whichever part is exposed and it will work! Description Used to stop bleeding. It won't last forever and it doesn't heal any damage.

Anti-Toxin Found in: NanoMed Plus -vending machines, Medical Storage Used for: Treating toxin damage Strategy: Feed the pills to/or inject the patient Description Your go-to stock chemical for curing toxin damage. One unit of Anti-Toxin will cure five units of damage. Administer either by syringe or pill. The chemical name for Anti-Toxin is Charcoal.

Epinephrine Found in: NanoMed Plus -vending machines, Medical Storage, O2 Emergency Lockers all over the station Used for: Treating suffocation damage Strategy: Inject the patient Description A very handy chemical to have to hand in an emergency, Epinephrine will stabilize anyone in critical condition, and temporarily prevent them from dying in front of you, just like CPR. Inject into the casualty and commence treatment quickly before it wears off. Chemical equivalent: Salbutamol. This chemical is usually found as a pill in emergency oxygen-deprivation kits. It will rapidly cure oxygen deprivation damage, but note that this will also heal over time so long as the casualty is not in critical condition and has enough oxygen. As this is widespread around the station, and oxygen deprivation is readily reversed in non-critical cases, it is less important to have than the others.

Syringe Found in: Medical Storage, Chemistry Used for: Injecting medicine, taking blood samples Strategy: Apply it while in hand to toggle inject or draw mode Description A syringe is a container especially used for holding liquids. They have two modes -- inject and draw. While in draw mode, a syringe takes liquids from other liquid containers such as bottles and beakers and even people 5 mg at a time. While in inject mode it will push its contents 5 mg at a time into a target, including other containers. Syringes can be injected into food and drinks, even those still sitting on a table. A syringe can hold up to 15 mg of liquid and will survive reactions happening inside of it in spite of appearances. They are most often found inside syringe boxes in the open around medbay or in medical lockers or in medical crates ordered from the Quartermaster. Medical dispensers also provide a number of empty syringes. Empty syringes can be found in boxes located around Medbay. Specialised pre-filled syringes can also found in Medical kits, such as Anti-Toxin or Epinephrine. Spaceacillin syringes are also in Medical dispensers.

Syringe Gun Found in: Medical Storage Used for: Tranquilizing the chucklefucks Strategy: Load the gun with a syringe filled with whatever and shoot at the patient Description Fire at people at a range with a syringe, useful if Chloral Hydrate or acid is in the needles. Not good for medicine applications (does minor damage each hit).

Hypospray Found in: Chief Medical Officer's Office Used for: Applying medicine quickly Strategy: Fill with medicine, apply to patient for quick healing Description A fast syringe that can be loaded with up to 30 ml of any chemical, and injected instantly unlike normal syringes. The patient feels a tiny prick!

Eyedropper Found in: Chemistry, Medical Storage, R&D Lab Used for: Applying medicine quickly, small amounts at a time Strategy: Fill with medicine, apply to patient Description Toggle in hand to change it to drop one unit at a time. A dropper is a container used for holding 5ml of liquids. An empty dropper will store liquids from other liquid containers such as bottles and beakers. Once full, you can squirt the contents of the dropper at any target adjacent or below you, including other liquid containers, or on people's faces.

Beaker Found in: Medical Storage, Chemistry, Robotics, R&D Lab Used for: Transporting and mixing chemicals Strategy: Transport chemicals or mix them and watch magic happen Description This is a container specifically for holding liquids. They are most commonly found in Medbay and Chemistry Lab. It is ill-advised always a great idea to splash whatever you find in a beaker onto your face and neck, or if possible, to inject it straight into your veins with a syringe. Standard glass Beakers hold 50 units of liquid. Large Breaker hold 100 units of liquid, but they are less common, thus, more valued. A Bottle is a smaller version of a Beaker and can be made by a Chemist from a ChemMaster 3000 and are mostly used to fill syringes. A bottle holds up to 30 units of liquid.

Pill Bottle Found in: Chemistry Used for: Transporting pills Strategy: Put pills inside, take pills out when needed Description It's an airtight container for storing medication.

DNA Injector Found in: Genetics Used for: Transfering genetics from subject to another Strategy: Make one in the DNA Scanner Access Console and use it on someone or yourself Description This injects the person with DNA. It stores either UI (Unique Identifiers), UE (Unique Enzymes) or SE (Structural Enzymes) and transfers them instantly to the person upon injection.

Surgical Tools

These items are used in surgery. Surgical tools can be found in Operating Theatre and Robotics. Additionally, Cargo can make them with their Autolathe. It is best to keep surgical tools in their proper places so your fellow crewmembers can use them when they need them.

Drapes Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics Used for: Determining which place is about to be cut, sliced 'n' diced Strategy: Use drapes on a patient who's (preferably) on the operating table Description Nanotrasen brand surgical drapes provide optimal safety and infection control.

Scalpel Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics Used for: Incisions in surgery, or melee combat Strategy: Use it on the patient when you need to do an incision Description Cut, cut, and once more cut.

Circular Saw Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics Used for: Cutting through bone, cutting out brains or cutting logs into planks Strategy: Use it on the patient when needed in a surgical procedure Description Note the blood stains; if there are no blood stains... you already know what you're doing with this bad boy. This is a tiny item capable of being used by Medical Doctors to cut out brains to be put into robots. It is also a highly effective melee weapon. It is extremely easy to blind yourself and others with this weapon, so letting the entire crew run around with these is extremely dangerous. It is also used by botanists to cut logs into planks.

Surgical Drill Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics Used for: Drilling through bone Strategy: Use it on the patient when needed in a surgical procedure Description A item used for surgery. Surprisingly robust, especially against eyes.

Hemostat Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics Used for: Clamping blood vessels to prevent bleeding Strategy: Use it on the patient when needed in a surgical procedure Description You can drill using this item. You dig?"

Cautery Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics Used for: cauterizing wounds to prevent bleeding Strategy: Use it on the patient when needed in a surgical procedure Description This stops bleeding.

Anesthetic Tank Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics Used for: Putting the patient asleep Strategy: See below Description A tank filled with Nitrous Oxide for keeping the patient unconscious during surgery to prevent him/her from escaping feeling pain. How to set internals: To set internals and make your patient sleep you need to first remove any item from their back. Once done you need to put a breath mask on them and then put the anesthetic tank onto their back. Once it is on their back you can put them on internals by clicking "set internals" on the same menu you used to put the tank on their back. Once done your patient should fall asleep. Remember to use a proper anesthetic mixture, as pure N2O will suffocate the patient.

Medical Kits

These are stocked in medbay and some other locations on-station. Remember that you can always order more from cargo if you run out. Roboticists can use these to make medibots once they're empty, and these make your job a lot easier, so don't be shy about taking them over to their desk when you have a moment. Back when Telescience was a thing, scientists sometimes stole these up while cackling madly. It was probably nothing to worry about. To use a medical kit, both hands must be free. Pick up the medical kit and select the empty hand. Now click on your kit and it should open like a backpack, with the supplies inside, which you can remove, place into your free hand and use.

First-Aid Kit a.k.a. Medkit Found in: Medical Storage Used for: Carrying medicine for the most common injuries Strategy: Use the contents to heal patients Contents Description Useful for most cases (brute and burn damage) you will witness on the station. Even the most basic assistant can bring many people back from the brink of death with the help of this kit.

Toxin First-Aid Kit Found in: Medical Storage Used for: Carrying medicine for toxin damage Strategy: Use the contents to heal patients Contents Description This kit is for the treatment of toxin damage. You can even choose how you'd like to administer the medicine, through a syringe or by feeding a pill (both are equally hard to do).

See here how to use a Sleeper. Guide to building a Sleeper.

Cryogenics Tube & Freezer Found in: Medbay Used for: Healing critical (or not critical) patients and genetic damage Strategy: Set the cryo up and put people in. Eject them after they've healed up Description These high-tech devices can bring crew members back from the brink of death. The station starts with two, but they have to be set up first. It automatically stabilizes people in critical condition, and will safely lower a patient's body temperature to levels at which Cryoxadone, usually mixed with Mannitol, is effective. These chemicals will heal all damage types, and are the only way to fix clone loss caused by cloning and slime feeding. See here how to use and perform maintenance on the Cryogenics Tubes. Guide to building a Cryogenics Tube.

Defibrillator Found in: Medical Storage Used for: Reviving the recently dead Strategy: Get to bodies fast enough and jump-start their heart Description Can bring patients out of death and into crit if they have only been dead a short time (only a few minutes). Does brain damage, though, and doesn't work if patients are not in their bodies or if they are heavily damaged. Runs on power cells. Can be emagged for a heavy stun and some burn damage. A high-risk item.

DNA Scanner & DNA Scanner Access Console Found in: Genetics Used for: Overall changing the subject's DNA, e.g. finding superpowers. Making SE/UI injections Strategy: Put a person in the DNA Scanner and use the console to play God. Description These can't create new bodies but only change existing ones - monkey to human (or vice versa), discovering superpowers, healing genetic defects... or just making everybody look and sound exactly like you. They can also output single-use injectors for remote genetic wizardry. More info can be found here. Guide to building a DNA Scanner.

DNA Scanner, Cloning Console & Cloning Pod Found in: Genetics Used for: Scanning dead people and cloning them back to life Strategy: Put a corpse in the DNA Scanner, use the console, scan, clone if possible Description A machine with the power to reverse death itself - as long as there's something to scan. The paranoid can check in at any time but the typical patient is dead on arrival. See here for instructions or check out a copy of Cloning techniques of the 26th century (found on the Geneticist's desk). Guide to building a DNA Scanner. Guide to building a Cloning Pod.

IV Drip Found in: Medbay Used for: Dispensing blood and other chemicals Strategy: Attach the patient to the IV drip. Insert blood pack. Wait. Do not move the patient while they are hooked up to the IV. Description The IV drip can replenish patients' blood with blood packs, or collect their blood with empty packs. If no blood is available to treat patients, saline-glucose solution can be used as an inferior substitute.

Blood Pack Found in: Operating Theatre, Virology Used for: Replenishing blood Strategy: Attach the patient to the IV drip. Insert blood pack. Wait. Do not move the patient while functioning. Description Blood packs can be attached to an IV to transfuse or collect blood from patients. Medbay is initially stocked with blood packs for each blood type. Don't give patients the wrong kind of blood! Blood packs can be labeled with a pen.

Operating Table Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics, and Maintenance just north of arrivals (only on BoxStation) Used for: Surgery Strategy: Put patient on table, do surgery Description A major part in all surgery. Only medical doctors and the CMO have access to surgery.

Chem Dispenser Found in: Chemistry Used for: Dispensing chemicals Strategy: Put a beaker in it, use it, choose how much you want, what you want and eject the beaker Description This machine provides the Chemist with most of the raw materials to ply his trade. Contains 100 regenerating energy points. Every 10 units of reagent costs one energy point. It remains on during a power outage, though it will not recharge points unless it is receiving power. A beaker, or other liquid holding device, has to be put inside for it to preform it's function. The units of chemicals it gives out vary depending on what it is set to. Chemicals produced: See here for a list of chemicals. Guide to building a Portable Chem Dispenser.

Chemical Heater Found in: Chemistry Used for: Heating chemicals Strategy: Put a beaker in, select a temperature, and turn it on. Description See the guide to chemistry for a list of chemical formulas and their reaction to heat.

ChemMaster 3000 Found in: Chemistry Used for: Making bottles and pills Strategy: Put beaker with stuff in, make stuff containing bottles/pills for further use Description Separates, bottles, and makes pills out of the chemical you loaded inside. Just select the amount of each chemical you with to work with. Ejecting a beaker while working on a chemical will make the chemical go to waste. You can only make 50 unit pills, and 30 unit bottles this way.

Reagent Grinder Found in: Chemistry, Kitchen, Bar, Hydroponics, Xenobiology Used for: Grinding and liquefying reagents Strategy: Put something in it and choose what you want to do with it Description Grinds, crushes, liquefies and extracts reagents from materials placed into it.
