Auto-injector Headset

[Sebastian Thorndike]

Thetype of medicine you wish to administer is an important factor here. For instance, certain tools are more suitable for topical drugs (e.g. styptic powder or synthflesh). Please refer to Chemistry to learn more about the difference between TOUCH and INGEST reactions.

Used to be extremely easy to produce, until people realized that they effectively made the Medical Department a glorified warehouse. Nowadays Auto-Menders require gold to be made, and existing ones that Medical Doctors spawn with can be refilled with certain chems or can be refilled with Auto-Mender cartridges found in medical vending machines.

Pills can also be dissolved in a beaker or similar container, converting their entire contents back into liquid form. To do this, either click on the pill with the container or click on the container with the pill. This can be useful for smaller doses, as some pills hold large amounts of chemicals - 50 units in most cases and up to 100 if a scientist has gotten their hands on a large beaker. Doses this high are not usually necessary - It's often not desirable or practical to administer a whole pill of calomel, for example.

Pills come in many shapes and colors. Pills made via a CheMaster have color based on color of the constituent reagents and their proportions. All CheMaster pills are cylindrical, a good clue to prevent swallowing pure neurotoxin. Pills in medkits and like, as well as pills from NPC merchants, usually have a pre-set appearance, while ???? (aka "designer drug") pills have randomly-generated forms.

The majority of these items can be found in various places across medbay itself or the medicine closets. Essential tools (such as scalpels, saws and staplers for surgery) are also available from the medical or robotics fabricator.

The defib can also cure suffocation damage. When the patient is below 0 health (i.e. critical condition), it has a flat 66% chance to cure 50 OXY. If they have the "Defibrillated" status effect from being defibbed beforehand, it is guaranteed to cure 10 OXY, in addition to the chance for the additional 50.

When used on those not in critical condition, it weakens them for a short 0.1 second, rather like a disarm than a stun. These can be found in the Operating Theatre/Surgery Room as well as in the medical supply carts. Every Medical Doctor spawns with one. More can be bought via Cargo's Medbay kit and/or replicated with the help of the Engineers.

Like most devices, defibrillators can be emagged. Emagged defibs will remove huge chunks of stamina and briefly knock out targets whose stamina is already low (although it can't reduce stamina into the negatives). And on top of that, each use has a 10% chance to stop the victim's heart outright! This is by no means a reliable murder method, though, and the description gains a very obvious tell for anyone who examines it -- it'll mention that the defib's screen is flashing the word "KILL" over and over.

Various upgrades from NPC merchants that improve the cloner in some way or grant it some sort of new ability. Each cloner can support multiple different upgrades, though it can only accommodate one of each module. Different components of the cloner accept different modules. To add a module to a component, simply click on the component with the module in your active hand; for ones that specifically slot into the console, you must do this when the clonepod is inactive. To remove a Gene Power, NecroScan II, or Rehabilitation module, use a screwdriver on the console.

Lockers full of medicine and other medical equipment. Most of these are restricted to those with Medical Equipment access. Also, all these spawn bolted to the floor, so if you need to move any of these, you need to click on the locker with a wrench first to unbolt it.

In addition, unless you have medical training, you must lay down on the operating table or be unconscious to be tracked by the computer. This means that if you are standing on an operating table and don't have that trait, self-surgery will be harder, since the machine won't tell you your vitals.

Contains a variety of medical clothing and equipment for Medical Doctors, Geneticists, Roboticists, and other medical staff. This requires the Medical access level. Standard medical uniforms and accessories are free, while headsets and PDAs are available at a price.

By default, the NanoMed Plus is accessible by anyone with Medical Equipment clearance and can be found throughout Medbay and in the Medical Booths (if applicable). It offers a wide selection of medicines, mostly in bottle form, i.e. you'll need to transfer them to a syringe or hypospray before you can administer them. It is also a reliable source of health analyzer upgrades and dispenses refill packs for auto-menders. Hacking it unlocks some non-medical chems, including pancuronium, a potent knockout chem, and sulfonal, a combination poison and knockout drug.

This public vending machine sells basic medical supplies. A few of these can be found all across the station, and they can be easily recognized by their wide range of darkly comedic slogans, such as "Now 80% sterilized!". Despite what the line "ERROR: Item "Stimpack" not found!" implies, these things never sell stimpacks of any kind. Likewise with "Please contact your insurance provider for details on reduced payment options for this machine!": it is not possible to get discounted prices in-game. The full list of lines, including ones already mentioned, is shown below:

Anaphylaxis is a life threatening severe allergic reaction. It is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment. A severe allergic reaction can cause an anaphylactic shock and must be treated with an Adrenaline Auto-Injector (AAI).

Knowing how to recognize the symptoms of anaphylaxis can provide individuals and their caregivers with peace of mind, empowering them to navigate their allergy management confidently. Anaphylaxis can occur rapidly and escalate quickly, making it essential to recognise the signs and symptoms early on.

In most allergic reactions the resulting chemicals are released locally into the tissues in a particular part of the body (skin, eyes etc.). This means the symptoms of the allergic reaction usually only occur in this area.

In anaphylaxis, the chemicals that cause the allergic symptoms (e.g. histamine) are released into the bloodstream. The symptoms of anaphylaxis usually occur within minutes of exposure to the trigger substance (allergen) but sometimes an hour or so later.

Adrenaline auto-injectors work by injecting a pre-measured dose of adrenaline into the thigh muscle, to counteract the effect of an allergic reaction. Adrenaline acts rapidly to constrict blood vessels, relax muscles in the airways, and increase heart rate, helping to alleviate symptoms and stabilise the individual until further medical help can be obtained.

This information factsheet has been developed to highlight the importance of carrying your adrenaline auto-injectors. It will also cover the different types and brands of adrenaline auto injectors available in the UK as well as how to care for your adrenaline auto injector.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration told EpiPen's maker, Pfizer Inc., this week that it failed to properly investigate reports of malfunctioning auto-injectors, including incidents associated with patient deaths and severe illnesses.

"Your own data show that you received hundreds of complaints that your EpiPen products failed to operate during life-threatening emergencies, including some situations in which patients subsequently died," the U.S. regulator wrote.

The FDA letter says the company failed to investigate problems with the devices, recall batches and act on problems, including expanding its internal investigation after two customer complaints of EpiPen failures were traced to a deformed component.

"Between 2015 and now, we have shipped more than 30 million EpiPen Auto-Injectors globally. It's not unusual to receive product complaints, especially when the product is frequently administered by non-medically trained individuals," Pfizer said in an emailed statement.

Since such reports to the institute and regulators such as Health Canada are voluntary, it's impossible to say what percentage of incidents relate to failed activations, said Dr. Michael Hamilton, physician lead at ISMP Canada.

"If you particularly rely on this medication and it doesn't work, that can certainly lead to catastrophe. We'd encourage users of these devices to maybe be aware of the potential for a failed deployment or failed activation," said Hamilton, a family physician who has treated anaphylaxis in the emergency room.

Anaphylaxis is a cascade of events that can involve everything from skin rashes to vomiting to gastrointestinal problems, with trouble swallowing, speaking or breathing and even a reduced level of consciousness, said Dr. Elana Lavine, a pediatric allergist and clinical immunologist at Humber River Hospital in Toronto.

"The language [in the letter] is so opaque, in terms of it doesn't mention any specific details, it doesn't mention a time frame, I think it would be tragic if it made people less likely to carry the No. 1, meaning first-line treatment in the form of ephinephrine auto-injector."

In an emailed statement, Mylan said: "Pfizer's recall several months ago of certain lots of EpiPen Auto-Injector was taken as a proactive and precautionary measure with FDA in relation to these issues."

Of four monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatments approved for migraine prevention in the United States, eptinezumab (Vyepti) is the first to be administered in intravenous infusion. How is Vyepti different from the other treatments? And what does it mean for you?
