==Machinery and Facilities==
These are the vital machines that you need to treat abnormally damaging injuries. You need to be able to access the Medbay to use any of these.
===Cryogenics===
Requires oxygen tanks to be wrenched into place, and the freezer should ideally be set to 73.15 K. It automatically stabilizes people in critical condition, and will safely lower a patient's body temperature to levels at which [[Cryoxadone]] and [[Clonexadone]] are effective. These chemicals will heal all damage types, and are the only way to fix clone loss caused by cloning and slime feeding.
Use:
* Make sure to do this beforehand, possibly in anticipation of injured people.
# Wrench both O2 Canisters onto the manifolds. Only cryogenic temperature O2 works in the tubes.
# Load each cryogenic chamber with [[Clonexadone]] or [[Cryoxadone]] inside, with Clonexadone as the priority chemical. You can use other chemicals, but cryogenic chemicals heal the best in cryogenic temperatures.
# Set the freezer to the lowest degrees Kelvin possible, and make sure that it's turned on. The colder the chamber, the more O2 used and the faster the effects of the drugs in the cryo tube.
* Once Cryogenics is set:
# Remove any insulating clothes from the patient, such as [[space suit|space suits]] or insulated gloves.
# Grab the person and stuff them in the chamber. They will begin to chill, make sure their body temperature is under 170 K.
# Set the chamber's setting to "On". This enables the drugs to flow into the patient.
# Monitor the patient until they are fully healed.
# Turn off the chamber, or else you waste medicine.
# Eject the patient and wake them.
# Make sure that you have an adequate supply of cryogenic drugs. If you're all out, go bother [[Chemistry]] for more.
Maintenance:
* Ensure the chambers have a beaker of [[Clonexadone]] or [[Cryoxadone]] inside. They both heal the standard damage types at the same rate, but Clonexadone will heal genetic deformities three times faster than Cryoxadone. A mixture of the two will heal people even faster than either on its own.
* You can use other chemicals, but they don't benefit from the cold environment.
* Ensure there is enough O2 to chill the chambers.
* Ensure no pipes are out of place, if any are loose, line them up and wrench them back into place. If any are broken, get an [[atmospheric technician]] to repair it.
===Sleeper===
Sleepers contain an unlimited supply of five different chemicals. If the patient is in critical condition, sleepers can only administer [[Inaprovaline]]. They can not heal toxin or clone damage.
* [[Inaprovaline]] stabilizes patients in crit. Use this if a patient is in crit, but the cryotubes are both occupied or need setting up.
* [[Bicaridine]] heals brute damage.
* [[Dermaline]] heals burn damage.
* [[Soporific]] is an anesthetic, it makes the patient sleepy.
* [[Dexalin Plus]] heals oxyloss damage.
Note: If someone only has burn and brute damage, eject them from cryo once they're reasonably far out of crit, then put them in the sleeper and fill them with [[Bicaridine]] and [[Dermaline]]. At busy times this will free up cryo for people who need it more, and it saves chemicals.
===Surgery Table===
A major part in all surgery. Consult that [[Surgery|guide for more information]], only [[Medical Doctor|medical doctors]] and the [[CMO]] have access to surgery.
===PanD.E.M.I.C 2200===
This machine needs [[virology]] access, and research access just to reach (but not use). It creates vaccines from the blood of people who have been cured.
Use:
# Take a blood sample with a syringe.
# Place sample into a beaker or bottle.
# Load beaker into machine.
# Select vaccine you wish to have.
# Take vaccine bottle it produces.
Additional uses:
* Reveals the cure to any infected blood sample without needing to inject a living creature.
===Chemical Dispenser===
Provides any and all chemical reagents you may need for general treatments, or disease control. Holds 100 charges at a time, regenerates charges slowly over time. See the [[Chemist]] job for more details.
===Cloner and Genetic Manipulator===
Consult [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|Cloning guide]].
