**'''Liver damage''' can be fixed by replacing the liver with a fresh or cybernetic pair. Cybernetic liver has different benefits to normal liver. It is resistant to alcohol poisoning and is very robust at filtering toxins.

Sleepers are a very important part of the medbay. They allow you to treat patients effectively and quickly, as well as sedate them. '''Always use sleepers over pills, patches and especially sutures and mesh!''' The latter is used by field medics, or when cryogenics treatment is not available.
Sleepers are useful for freeing up your hands when dealing with multiple patients. They allow you to treat individuals (even if they're dead!) without using resources such as sutures or chemicals, as well as sedate any unruly patients. They are typically best used when other, more critical patients demand your attention or when time isn't a concern.


Sleepers also show you chemicals present in the patient's bloodstream.
When their matter bins are upgraded, their healing effectiveness on corpses is increased, which makes them perfect for healing multiple bodies at once if you have several carcasses come in at once. For more information on how scientists can upgrade sleepers, check [[Guide to advanced construction#Sleeper|here]].


Scientists can produce upgraded parts for sleepers. [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Sleeper|See here how upgrading will make your life much easier.]]
Sleepers also show you chemicals present in the patient's bloodstream, though their reagent processing may be frozen if the sleeper has been fully upgraded.


How to use:
How to use:
# Ensure the sleeper is open. If it's not, open it.
# Ensure the sleeper is open. If it's not, open it.
# Pull the patient near the sleeper.
# Pull the patient near the sleeper.
# Click and hold on the patient, move the cursor to the sleeper, then release. This puts the patient inside.
# Click and hold on the patient, move the cursor to the sleeper, then release. This puts the patient inside. You can also ALT+CLICK the sleeper when they're on the same space as it.
# Click on the sleeper to open the menu.
# Click on the sleeper to open the menu.
# Select the option they need (note: only "sedate" and "treat injuries" are available without upgrades):
# Select the option they need:
#*'''Sedate:''' Injects morphine (up to 20 units) into the patient, putting them to sleep after some time.
#*'''Sedate:''' Injects 10u of morphine (to a maximum of 20 units) into the patient, putting them to sleep after some time.
#*'''Treat Injuries:''' Heals brute and burn damage.
#*'''Treat Injuries:''' Heals brute and burn damage.
#*'''Repair Organs:''' Heals a random damaged organ, with dead patients healing much slower.
#*'''Repair Organs:''' Heals a random damaged organ, with dead patients healing much slower. Requires a Nano Manipulator installed.
#*'''Purge Toxins:''' Heals toxin damage and purges chemicals.
#*'''Purge Toxins:''' Heals toxin damage and purges chemicals. Requires a Pico Manipulator installed.
# Wait until they are healed, then open the sleeper and kick them out.
