Read the Internal-Bleeding Warning and Blood Volume
Look for the health panel's internal-bleeding indicators and falling blood volume, especially when no visible skin wound explains the loss. Procoagulant addresses internal bleeding, blood replacement addresses lost blood, and a Chest drain treats hemothorax.
These are different treatment jobs. Dressings primarily treat external wounds, while hemothorax is a separate chest complication that limits oxygenation; checking which problem is present helps you choose the appropriate item.
Use the Demo Context
This treatment sequence follows the documented demo health system. The default R health-panel control is described for Steam demo 7.0.1; keep the Steam demo, itch prototype, and full release separate when matching medical controls and item effects.
Match the Treatment to the Problem
| Problem | Treatment and What to Check |
|---|---|
| An external wound is bleeding. | Use dressings for the external wound, then reassess whether blood loss continues. |
| Internal bleeding is indicated in the health panel. | Use Procoagulant for internal bleeding and monitor blood viscosity as well as the bleeding warning. |
| Blood volume has fallen after the injury. | Use blood replacement for lost blood; carry a Blood bag when found. |
| Hemothorax is affecting the chest. | Apply a Chest drain to the upper torso and watch oxygen saturation and the hemothorax warning. |
Inspect, Treat, and Check the Response
- Open the health panel with R to inspect the injury and overall condition.
- Read the internal-bleeding indicators alongside blood volume to identify ongoing loss that a visible skin wound may not explain.
- Dress any external bleeding wound so that the visible injury receives its appropriate treatment.
- Use Procoagulant for internal bleeding, keeping its blood-viscosity effect in mind when reassessing your condition.
- Use blood replacement when blood has been lost, addressing volume separately from bleeding control.
- Apply a Chest drain to the upper torso if hemothorax is present, addressing the chest complication.
- Recheck blood-volume loss, oxygen saturation, and the relevant warnings to judge whether treatment is helping before continuing.
When Bandaging Has Not Solved the Blood Loss
If blood volume keeps falling after you dress a visible wound, check the internal-bleeding indicators again. Internal bleeding can occur without a visible skin wound explaining the loss, and the demo medical system associates it with deeper torso or abdominal damage.
If hemothorax remains, assess it separately from the bleeding source. Blood accumulating in the chest needs the appropriate drainage treatment, while lost blood needs replacement; a clot-promoting treatment does not perform either of those jobs.
Judge progress by the trend after treatment: blood-volume loss should slow, oxygen saturation should recover where affected, and the internal-bleeding or hemothorax warning should improve. A treatment action is a reason to reassess, rather than an automatic signal to resume the descent.
Pack for Deeper Demo Layers
Keep bleeding control accessible and make room for Procoagulant, a Blood bag, and a Chest drain when you find them. Ordinary dressings cover an important need, but allocating all your medical space to them leaves other treatment jobs uncovered.
Organize supplies around what each item does so you can find the relevant treatment quickly. Before moving deeper, review both your remaining supplies and the direction of your health indicators.
