Can you take off a gas mask with SS13?
SS13's robust atmospheric system has been simplified, but you will still have to be wary of the air around you. To quickly check whether or not you can take off that gas mask, you can use an atmos analyzer or the built-in version on your PDA .
What is the true purpose of SS13's research?
The true purpose of SS13's research. It is a purple gas that is highly toxic and highly flammable, hence breathing plasma is a bad idea. It is the main ingredient in making bombs, powering the station and hellish station-consuming fires.
What is the normal atmospheric pressure of air in SS13?
Air in SS13 can be seen, strangely enough, as a 'watered down'-O2, with N2 being the water. Optimal atmospheric pressure for humans is 101.3 kPa. Due to the minimum of 16 kPa of O2, the pressure of 101.3 kPa cannot be changed too much without the situation becoming excessively lethal.
How to use nitrous oxide anesthetic tank for surgery?
A tank filled with Nitrous Oxide for keeping the patient unconscious during surgery to prevent him/her from escaping feeling pain. To set internals and make your patient sleep you need to first remove any item from their back. Once done you need to put a breath mask on them and then put the anesthetic tank onto their back.
What is the best medicine for suffocation?
Salbutamol quickly treats suffocation damage. Convermol very quickly heals suffocation damage, but deals a lot of toxin damage. Cryoxadone in a cryotube or a very cold environment heal most types of damage, including suffocation.

How to dissolve a pill?
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.
What is a mini patch?
Mini patches hold less reagents, but are otherwise identical to regular patches. They typically come in mini-patch boxes. You can click on the box while it's in your hand to open it, and you can click on someone with the box open to apply a patch onto someone, without having to actually get it out.

Found in: Medical Storage, Chemistry, Robotics, R&D Lab.
What is a surgical shear?
A type of heavy duty surgical shears used for achieving a clean separation between limb and patient. Keeping the patient still is imperative to be able to secure and align the shears. It dismembers a limb (or tail) after a delay (15 seconds by default).
How many chemicals are in sleepers?
Sleepers contain an unlimited supply of five different chemicals, which can be expanded with further upgrades. As of writing they cannot be built and are not found on the station, since they have been replaced with Lifeform Stasis Units.
Do burn treatment kits have cross symbols?

Does oxygen fuel fire?
Note: Keep in mind that oxygen fuels fire.
Can you top off a jetpack with regular air?
Note: Don't be tempted to top off your jetpack with regular air. You will have to increase your oxygen source’s release pressure, which will make it run out much faster, or else you will suffocate.
Can you repressurize a room with a gas canister?
Note: Due to the utterly alien will of eldritch Atmos gods semi-convoluted but slightly sensible atmos system, you can't just repressurise a room simply by sticking a gas canister in there, or else all the gas will collect and stay in that one tile. Instead, move the gas canister around the room from time to time and hope that the gas evenly distributes itself then.

Guide to Atmospherics
This is the Guide to Atmospherics. When properly initialized, Atmosia can keep the station aired-up through nearly any emergency. Improperly initialized, it's a waste of space at best and an outright fire hazard at worst.
Atmospherics 101: Basic Theory, Layout, and Custodian of The Air
You, dearest atmospheric technician, have one main purpose: Keeping the station not too hot, not too cold, pressurized, and breathable. You might be able to synthesize difficult gases, but derelict this basic duty and you are not a good atmospheric technician.
Atmospherics 201: Gaseous Synthesis, Machinery, Further Theory, and Optimization
Let's start with some theory about the gases. Below are the different gases that can be found in-game.
Identification
Treatment
- Suffocation
This is the first and most important to look out for. It is not visible on the body, but people suffering from it will gasp for air. If you take 50 or more suffocation damage, you faint. On the Health Analyzer, it is the leftmost, bluedamage type. Ways of getting damaged: 1. Being in an ar… - Brute
This is a straight-forward damage category. This is the far right damage type on Health Analyzer. Brute damage is visible, and limb-specific. Ways of getting damaged: 1. Being physically hit by almost anything does brute damage. 2. Some chemicalscan deal brute damage. Treatment: 1. S…
Using Stasis Beds, Cryogenics and Sleepers
- Lifeform Stasis Units
These "Stasis Beds" can be found in medbay. They are constructable machines. You can buckle patients to them to put them into stasis. While in stasis they no longer bleed, no longer process reagents or diseases (good or bad), and their organs will no longer rot. Buckle badly hurt or dea… - Cryogenics Tube
Cryotube uses the fact that cryoxadone is effective at healing all types of damage, but only works in cold environments. Use it mainly to heal cellular damage, or if you're out of other options/unsure what to do. This is slow and forces the patient to sleep, so prefer using brute/fire patches for co…
Rarer Cases
- These situations are not as common as normal damages, but they are still VERY LIKELY to happen. AND most of these cases are also more severe, and it is essential to be fucking fast and know this stuff! So read up, these are the things that will separate quacks from real doctors!
Death
- So your patient is dead. There are several typical cases of death. If your patient is a normal dead body though (with a head and brain), your first course of action is usually to prepare the body for defibrillation. Cloning no longer exists on /tg/station since Feb, 2020.
Afternote
- PLEASE NOTE In the morgue there are lights on the side of the trays. The red light means there is a dead body with no ghost occupying it. Green light means there is a body with a ghost in it, which means you should attempt to reviveit. The green light is normally accompanied by a beeping sound as well, which can be turned off by alt-clicking the tray. If you aren't serious about healing …
