Overview

First Aid is a crafting skill used to treat the player's injuries. As the skill level increases, the player will be able to treat wounds faster, make bandages last longer and evaluate the severity of wounds and infections. Experience is gained by players treating themselves or other players.

Usage

Treatment is carried out by right clicking on the body in the health status window, or right clicking the health status text if injuries are present. Treatment requires materials, even basic ones such as Ripped Sheets and/or Bourbon. Injuries are indicated by bleeding and/or injured moodles. First Aid will not reduce or change the chance of zombification from a zombie scratch or bite.

First Aid Flow

There are 5 types of injuries, basic treatment for any injury is a clean bandages and maintaining it, optionally but suggested to keep the chance of a wound infection at bay with disinfection. Treatment is also painful most of the time, even as the player's First Aid skill increases in level. The bandages should be cleaned with water in the inventory if it gets dirty.

• A minor injury such as scratches and lacerations. Bandage wound to stop bleeding, and change them when dirt to prevent wound infection.
• Injuries with Foreign matters such as glass shards and bullets. Use a tweezer to remove them, and use a needle and thread or a suture needle to stitch the deep wound after. Bandaging the stitched deep wound is optional, but doing so will slow down the healing speed.
• A fracture is treated with a splint. The fracture should be bandaged to maximum healing speed.
• A burn should be cleaned frequently with a ripped sheet, and treated like a normal injury, bandages disinfected and bandages applied.
  Burns take much longer to heal than normal injuries.

Items

Suture

Surgical suture (also known as stitches) or suture is a medical procedure used to hold together a wound after an injury or surgery. The usage involves using a suture needle with sterile lengths of thread to stitch the wound closed. The material of the suture thread varies, and are commonly absorbable by the body for full healing.

Disinfection

Injuries and bandages/ripped sheets can be sterilized using Bottle of Disinfectant, Bourbon, Cotton Balls, or Alcohol Wipes, and disinfecting injuries will decrease the chance of an infection occurring. Infected wounds cause health loss and pain. The risk of infection is greater if the player does not disinfect the wound and/or bandages being applied.
