The above steps give you enough info to handle the very basics of <s>CQC</s> first-aid, allowing you to at least look like you know what you're doing when someone gets hurt. If you get a good handle on the above information, congratulations! You have a good enough grip on wounds to deal with most situations that may arise and be able to render aid to people who get hurt if you need to, or seek out aid for yourself. If you're ever in doubt, find a wound scanner or a health analyzer set to wound mode, and you'll get a big readout of what you need to do to fix them up. | The above steps give you enough info to handle the very basics of <s>CQC</s> first-aid, allowing you to at least look like you know what you're doing when someone gets hurt.

Wounds are classified by two things: ''' | This section is a more in depth look at each wound type and severity including special effects and treatment options. The information in Wounds 101, combined with use of a scanner in wounds mode, provides enough information to generally treat injuries and understand their most important parts. The following information is supplemental and goes into extra detail to help you understand the finer points of treating them, and how to be more efficient in doing so. | ||
Wounds are classified by two things: '''type''' and '''severity'''. There are four types ('''blunt, slashing, piercing, and burn'''), and three main severities ('''moderate, severe, and critical'''). The more severe wound is, the more damage is required to sustain it, and the more debilitating it is until treated. | |||
*'''Blunt wounds''' are broken and dislocated bones and are dealt by brute attacks that aren't sharp. These have higher thresholds than cuts or burns and lack the ability to shred jumpsuits, making them harder to deal than the other types. However, they are a bit harder to treat, and are less affected by armor. These have different effects based on where they're dealt. | *'''Blunt wounds''' are broken and dislocated bones and are dealt by brute attacks that aren't sharp.

The treatment for all sharp wounds is the same: apply a bandage, medipen, sutures, and maybe cauterize it with a burning tool. The difference in severities is that worse cuts bleed faster, and while a moderate cut isn't very dangerous, a critical cut is immediately life threatening if left alone. | ||
**Standard epinephrine Medi pens and emergency med kit Medi pens contain coagulant, a special chemical that greatly increases clotting on all open cuts for a short duration. This makes it excellent for stabilizing patients with multiple cuts, or as a way to immediately reduce bleeding after a serious cut is suffered, without fussing with gauze or sutures. | **Standard epinephrine Medi pens and emergency med kit Medi pens contain coagulant, a special chemical that greatly increases clotting on all open cuts for a short duration.

These are mostly the same as slashing wounds however they require more special treatment as they do not clot. In addition, being hit on a limb with a piercing wound will cause more blood to spray from the limb, increasing blood loss. | ||

*Slashing wounds have very low thresholds and are easy to | *Slashing wounds have very low thresholds and are easy to inflict, especially against unarmored foes, but contribute little to further wound penalties. Bone wounds are fairly hard to apply, with higher thresholds, but aren't as affected by armor as cutting or burning wounds and make further wounds a decent bit easier to inflict. Piercing wounds only deal a bit of bleeding and make other wounds slightly easier to inflict. However, they can be applied from distance with guns which makes them more of a nice add-on than a primary focus. Burning wounds are very unlikely to be dealt to covered skin, even if it's only a jumpsuit, but gain very large bonuses against bare flesh. They also apply the highest threshold penalties, making it almost trivial to deal serious slash, pierce, and bone injuries to burnt limbs. | ||

This will instantly repair the bone upon completion. | ||
*Improvised Treatment: Apply bone gel directly to limb, then apply surgical sticky tape to the limb and wait. It's much better to have a friend apply these, as self-applying the bone gel can fail and cause you to pass out briefly (consuming one use of bone gel). The chance to fail and pass out is much higher with compound fractures than hairline fractures, though being drunk, on morphine, or in a combat high from a wound will lower your chance to fail. Lastly, applying the sticky tape will start to regenerate the limb, during which you will randomly take brute/stamina damage around your body. This regeneration period is longer if you apply the surgical tape to yourself, and is also longer for compound fractures than for hairline fractures. After a few minutes, the wound will be gone. | *Improvised Treatment: Apply bone gel directly to limb, then apply surgical sticky tape to the limb and wait.
