Section 1

Welcome to the HELIX Standard-Issue Medical Handbook. This guide can be accessed from your datapad anytime by any unit registered in the HELIX division. Please review over this guide before you perform an operation for the first time or if you are preparing to take the standard HELIX divisional test.


Section 2

The following list is the set of rules that you are to follow during your stay in HELIX. These rules are subject to change without warning if the DvL sees fit.

1. Sterilize your medical tools after using them.
2. Clean up the operating table after performing a surgery. This means wiping down the table, putting equipment back where you got it, tossing out used syringes and bloody rags, etc.
3. When bringing a citizen into the med-bay, make sure they are tied and unconscious first. Once you put them on the operating table, restrain the citizen's arms, legs, and neck to the table. Then inject anesthesia and painkillers to keep them unconscious for the duration of the surgery.
4. Treat your fellow HELIX units with respect, especially if they are of higher rank than you.
5. Have common sense.

Section 4

Section 4.1 Bullet Removal

1. Inject patient with painkillers and anesthetics.
2. Locate wound on the body.
3. Get a rag, put alcohol in the center. Clean out the outside of the bullet wound.
4. Get a sterilized scalpel, make two diagonal cuts over the bullet wound. This should open it up.
5. Take the rag again, apply more alcohol if necessary. Clean out the wound better now that is opened up.
6. Get out a pair of sterilized forceps. Identify where the bullet is, and if you can get it out without damaging anything. CAREFULLY reach in and withdraw the bullet, and dispose of it.
7. If significant tissue and/or muscle damage is present due to a high caliber round, sew fake tissue and apply bio-gel to the area to repair it.
8. Take a roll of gauze, and wrap up the wound. Make sure it's wrapped up tight to stop any blood flow.

Sub-Section 4.11 Pulse Round Wounds

1. Inject patient with painkillers and anesthetics.
2. Locate the wound, and disinfect it with alcohol and a rag.
3. Due to the nature of pulse rounds, very severe tissue and muscle damage is most likely present. Apply a moderate amount of bio-gel to the inside of the wound.
4. Sew some fake tissue on top of the wound.
5. Slow down the bleeding with direct pressure with bandages/gauze.
6. Wrap a large bandage around the wound.


Section 4.2 Broken Bones

1. Inject patient with painkillers and anesthetics.
2. Feel along the area for the source of the fracture.
3. Take a sterilized scalpel, and make a gash big enough to reveal the fracture, straight through to the bone.
4. Get a tube of rubber adhesive bone cement and a brush. Wet the tip of the brush in the liquid.
5. Spread the adhesive on the fracture, carefully placing the two pieces of bone back together.
6. Sterilize the wound you made using alcohol and a rag.
7. Get a twine of medical thread and a sterilized needle, stringing the thread through the top of the eye of the needle.
8. Carefully sew the gash back up again, tying it off at the end and snapping it from the rest of the thread on the twine.


Section 4.3 Cuts and Gashes

1. If the bleeding is bad, quickly apply pressure with bandages to stop the blood flow. If not, skip to step 2.
2. Give patient painkillers.
3. Get a rag, put alcohol in the center. Clean out the cut with it.
4. Get a twine of medical thread and a sterilized needle, stringing the thread through the top of the eye of the needle.
5. Carefully sew the gash back up again, tying it off at the end and snapping it from the rest of the thread on the twine.

[NOTE: If a large section of the tissue has been destroyed, retrieve a piece of fake tissue from the medical cabinet. Cut it to shape, fit it in, and sew it to the real tissue.]


Section 4.4 Height Reducing

[This is for when a citizen is above height regulations. Anyone breaching the height regulation of 6'3 needs to have this operation performed on them.]

1. Inject patient with painkillers and anesthetics.
2. Grab an electric bonesaw from the medical cabinet [See Subsection: Standard HELIX Supplies].
3. Cut out a section of the shins that puts them down or below the height regulation of 6'3. Dispose of this.
4. Retrieve rubber adhesive from your med-kit. Apply it to both bone ends, on each of the severed parts.
5. Press the foot and bottom part of the shin into the top of the shin/knee, carefully sealing them with the adhesive.
6. Get a twine of medical thread and a sterilized needle, stringing the thread through the top of the eye of the needle.
7. Begin to sew the two pieces of tissue back together, making it so that the bone and the tissue are now reconnected.


Section 4.5 IV Cables

1. Retrieve your desired IV fluid from the freezer section of the medical cabinet [IE: Blood or Anesthetics].
2. Attach it to the IV stand, and grab the clear cable, the side with a small hole at the end.
3. Attach it to the bottom of the IV bag, locking it into place.
4. Grab the other half clear cord. This should have a needle on the end.
5. Take the patients wrist, slipping the needle into one of the exposed veins.
6. Press the small button on the IV stand. This should send the liquid flowing through the tube.
7. When the patient has received sufficient IV fluids, press the button again. The liquid flow should come to a halt.
8. Remove the IV cable from the patient's wrist.
9. Remove the IV bag from the stand, and put what is left of it into the medical cabinet.


Section 4.6 Infections

1. If a gash or bullet wound has experienced prolonged exposure, it is possible that it could have gotten infected. This will need to be treated immediately.
2. Identify how bad the infection in. Use the amounts of material accordingly.
3. Get a rag, put alcohol in the center. Clean out the infected wound with it.
4. Get another rag, getting out a canister of biological regeneratory gel. Put some of the gel onto the rag.
5. Clean out the wound with the gel. This should remove the infection.
6. If the infection has spread to other parts of the body, administer antibiotics to the patient.


Section 4.7 Severe Burns

1. Inject patient with painkillers.
2. Locate the wound and evaluate the damage. Use materials accordingly.
3. Disinfect the wound using alcohol and a rag.
4. Apply some bio-gel to the burn.
5. Wrap a large bandage around the wound.


Section 4.8 Limb Amputations

1. Inject painkillers and anesthetics into the patient.
2. Wrap a tourniquet above the location where you will sever the limb. This will cut off blood flow.
3. Grab the large cauterizing tool from the cabinet and turn it on, letting it heat up.
4. After a few minutes, grab an electric saw and saw through the limb quickly and cleanly. Dispose of said limb afterwards.
5. Press the hot side of the cauterizing tool to the open wound. This will seal it off.
6. Wrap a large bandage around the wound.
7. If a mechanical replacement is due, contact a Grid unit to install.


Section 4.9 Biological Engineering

Biological engineering is extremely classified. It is taught by high-ranking HELIXs to HELIX units once they reach the rank of OfC. As it is highly classified, no information is allowed to leak out of the division. Archives of previous biological engineering experiments and procedures can be found in the HELIX database, accessible by HELIX OfCs and higher at any terminal or via their datapad.



Section 5

All HELIX units are required to write out a report after performing a surgery on a fellow civil protection unit. HELIX units are not required to write reports for surgeries done on citizens or CWU, unless you feel the situation was very important, unique, or strange. Reports are to be placed in the HELIX DvL's office, inside the reports bin on his desk. They will be read and then scanned into the HELIX archive database. The report should be in the following format:

Patient: (The name of the unit who received the surgery. Include division, rank, and unit numbers)
Diagnosis: (What was wrong with the unit?)
Treatment: (What surgery did you perform? How did you do it?)
Results: (What were the results of the surgery? Was it successful?)

Nice guide! I'm hoping to join the Helix division at some point, and this just makes it a lot more interesting!

That's what I was going for, thanks me too! Good luck!

Well, I joined JURY instead, but there seems to be a major lack of HELIX. Perhaps more should be recruited.
