Whether the patient was already dead when they were dragged into medbay or they died under your care, the basic procedure for handling stiffs is the same. Your first plan of action should be trying to defibrillate the body and bring them back to life without making them wait for the cloning process. This may look long and complicated, but it's actually pretty simple and most of the time you can just defib a dead person right away without any prior preparation. | Whether the patient was already dead when they were dragged into medbay or they died under your care, the basic procedure for handling stiffs is the same.

# If they're just normal dead, scan them with a health analyzer. Do they have more than 180 brute or burn damage (tracked separately, having 179 of each is fine)? If so, you can't defib them yet, and you'll have to use Styptic Powder, Silver Sulfadiazine or Synthflesh to get those damage levels below 180. You can get these either from [[Chemistry]] (making 80u of styptic powder in a large beaker and dumping it on the corpse and repeating is a very effective way to bring someone with ridiculous amounts of brute damage back to savable levels), or from brute and burn patches from the medivendors or yellow and pink medkits. Use your head though, if someone is completely husked with 500 burn and 800 brute damage, it's probably just easier and less wasteful to clone them. | # If they're just normal dead, scan them with a health analyzer.

# Now that they're technically defibbable, check their toxins damage. If they have a significant amount of damage and tons of poisons in them, either hit them with a shot of your preferred antitoxin (most likely Charcoal) before defibbing them so that it takes effect as soon as you revive them, or if it's too serious, consider just having them clone. | # Now that they're technically defibbable, check their toxins damage.
