+*CPR can resuscitate patients suffering from death, though the process is inefficient.
 *If severe organ damage is present before revival, or any of the organs are necrotic, dylovene and/or dexalin may be needed for the patient. If the patient's heart refuses to beat after organs are healed, the heart may be necrotic, and the patient may be unrevivable (for any period more than a few seconds of life) without organ transplant.
 *During death, the rate of bleeding and arterial/venous bleeding will slow or stop, since the heart will have stopped. The blood pressure in the body usually also remains mostly stable, and will usually be lower because of the stopped heart. Once revived, the bleeding will start again, and blood pressure may jump up as blood injected before revival becomes part of the patient's blood supply. Make sure to heal bleeding before revival, to administer dexalin if needed and available to oxygenate the blood (new and/or otherwise), and to not administer more blood than needed to save supplies, though usually more blood will ultimately be needed.

 ===Triage===
 During the practicing of medicine, it may happen that there will be multiple patients with different injuries on each patient, and different numbers of injuries on each patient. It can be helpful to try to treat certain patients first, usually depending on what afflictions they have and often on what role they are on your team.
