A guide for the Neurotrauma mod that covers every symptom, cause, treatment and procedure that you might encounter while playing
 
 

Introduction

Welcome to the official exhaustive Neurotrauma guide.
 
 
 
 
 
If you are currently in a medical emergency and there are no medical professionals around, immediately proceed to the first aid section.

 
 

If you are experiencing worrying or unusual symptoms, please consult the nearest medical professional immediately.

 
 
Remember to always wear a helmet!
 
 
Grasping how the human body functions – or malfunctions – can take some time.
 
This guide aims to provide crucial information for aspiring medical doctors until they have gathered enough experience.
 
 
Doctors should always keep a medical scanner on their person – you won’t know exactly what’s causing all the symptoms of your patient unless you scan them (or you have extensive knowledge)!
 
 

Packing a first aid kit

 
First aid kits for expeditions
 
should contain the following (more suitable items are on the left):
 

  • Plastiseal or bandages
  • Sutures
  • At least one tourniquet
  • Blood packs (preferably O-), ringer’s solution, saline or adrenaline
  • Calyxanide
  • Antiparalyzant

It is recommended to also bring the following on an expedition:
 

  • A fully decked out surgery kit -> 13: Surgical procedures and you
  • An endovascular balloon
  • A medical stent

These items may save a patients life if they suffer catastrophical un-clampable bleedings of the neck or aorta that require immediate surgery.
 
 
First aid kits for accidents inside the submarine
 
should contain the following (more suitable items are on the left):
 

  • Plastiseal or bandages
  • Sutures
  • At least one tourniquet
  • Blood packs (preferably O-), ringer’s solution, saline or adrenaline
  • A defibrillator
  • An autopulse

13: Surgical procedures and you

To perform surgery, you will at the very least need a surgery kit.
 
 
Packing a surgery kit
 
A surgery kit stores all the essential tools and instruments needed for surgery neatly in one place.
 
Surgery kits should contain the following:
 

  • Opioids or anesthetics (propofol, fentanyl, morphine or opium)
  • Scalpel
  • Hemostat
  • Skin retractors
  • Sutures
  • Blood packs (preferably O-), ringer’s solution, saline or adrenaline

Packing a bone surgery kit
 
If you are working with bones, there might be some additional tools you need.
 
Bone surgery kits should contain the following:
 

  • Surgical drill
  • Surgical saw
  • Osteosynthesis implants
  • Spinal cord implants

 

Standard surgery procedure

 
The standard surgery procedure is a sequence of steps that a surgeon follows to initiate surgery.
 
A suture can be used at any point during the surgery to terminate the process. You should always operate at an operating table, if possible. Regular beds can be used as an alternative in a pinch.
 
In case emergency surgery is required on the field (as is the case with carotid artery bleedings or aortic ruptures), dragging the patient all the way back to the submarine would waste precious seconds and do more harm than good. You will have to operate without a table.
 
 

Step 1: Anesthetics

 
 
 
Anesthesia is required for surgery to begin. Administer an opioid of your choice or propofol to the patient.

 
Barotrauma - The official Exhaustive Neurotrauma Guide - 13: Surgical procedures and you - 1897366

Step 2: The incision

 
 
 
Use a scalpel on the body part that you wish to perform surgery on.

 
Barotrauma - The official Exhaustive Neurotrauma Guide - 13: Surgical procedures and you - 8343E98

Step 3: Clamping the bleeders

 
 
 
Use a hemostat on the body part that you incised.

 
Barotrauma - The official Exhaustive Neurotrauma Guide - 13: Surgical procedures and you - A0FC93E

Step 4: Retracting the skin

 
 
 
Use a skin retractor on the body part that you incised.

 
 
You are now ready for more specialized applications such as osteosynthesis, amputation or organ procurement and transplantation.
 
 

Osteosynthetic surgery

 
This procedure will heal fractures and bone damage.
 
First, perform the standard surgery procedure.
 
 
Barotrauma - The official Exhaustive Neurotrauma Guide - 13: Surgical procedures and you - 0A0240C

Step 5: Drilling the broken bone

 
 
 
Use a surgical drill on the fractured bone.

 

Step 6: The implants

 
 
 
Use osteosythesis implants on the affected bone. The fracture is now healed.

 

Organ procurement/transplant surgery

 
This procedure will extract organs from still-living humans and optionally transplant a new one.
 
First, perform the standard surgery procedure on the torso.
 
 
Barotrauma - The official Exhaustive Neurotrauma Guide - 13: Surgical procedures and you - F5C3029

Step 5: Cutting it out

 
 
 
Use one of the specialized organ procurement scalpels on the torso. You should receive the patients organ(s). If their organ damage was too high then the organ(s) will be destroyed instead.

 

Step 6 (optional): The transplant

 
 
 
Put the replacement organ inside the patient.

 

Amputation / limb reattachment surgery

 
This procedure will amputate one of the patients limbs.
 
First, perform the standard surgery procedure on the limb you wish to amputate.
 
 
Barotrauma - The official Exhaustive Neurotrauma Guide - 13: Surgical procedures and you - 645E5E6

Step 5: Sawing the bone

 
 
 
Use the surgical saw on the affected limb. Ending the surgery now will cause the limb to amputated.

 

Step 6 (optional): Reattaching the limb

 
 
 
Use the severed limb on the now sawed bone. The amputation should now be reverted.

 

Core decompression surgery

 
This procedure will heal bone death.
 
It is best advised to first transplant a fresh kidney to the patient so the bone death doesn’t return post-surgery.
 
To successfully reverse bone death, you will need to perform osteosynthetic surgery on every bodypart in a relatively small amount of time. Bringing dead bones back to the living is no small feat. You should make sure to bring extra osteosynthesis implants in case something goes wrong.
