"Get him treatment NOW!"
Volkner found himself ensnared in a perplexing mental state, an eerie realm that precipitated a malfunction in the teleportation system. Rendered unconscious, he existed in a twilight of semi-awareness, his senses simulating wakefulness yet devoid of true consciousness. Despite the apparent muting of his physical injuries, they failed to activate the teleportation protocols intended for critical situations. This rare disjunction between his mental and physical states left him precariously suspended, in dire need of immediate manual intervention. It was only when Sirena intervened, her authoritative command and presence serving as a lifeline, that one of the Arena staff members galvanized into action, driven by an acute sense of urgency.
"I got it from here, Councilor Vortexus!"
"Dr. Caius Elveron, he's in your hands now!"
Caius, a man of modest height dressed in a custom white doctor's attire with contrasting black accents, reached towards the tank on his lower back, twisting the cap off. With both hands, he manipulated the water to suspend him in the air, guiding the liquid to support Volkner's limp body as if he were carrying him in a fluid cocoon. The doctor sprinted as the arena returned to its default state, allowing a straight path back to the medical ward. At one point, the Doctor flipped upside down and had to reorient himself.
Upon reaching the VIP exit, Dr. Elveron collected water onto his arm, grappling the entrance with a water-based rope. He landed and darted through the familiar halls towards the medical ward, wasting no time.
Inside the medical ward, a large, frameless tank filled with a specially developed liquid awaited them. The liquid supported the body's healing process and provided a medium for detailed scans. Dr. Elveron submerged Volkner into the tank, the liquid cradling his body and suspending him in a state of near-weightlessness.
"Begin the full-body scan."
A team of medical professionals circled the tank, their faces tense with concentration. Advanced diagnostic equipment whirred to life, projecting holographic displays of Volkner's vital signs and internal injuries. The clear liquid allowed for unobstructed X-ray imaging, revealing his injuries in stark detail.
The machine hummed, sending waves of energy through the liquid. Dr. Elveron donned a mask with a re-breather, the integrated oxygen tanks and carbon dioxide scrubbers activating with a soft hiss. This device was small and compact, allowing him to breathe in the tank while waiting for the scan to complete.
As the scan finished, Dr. Elveron wasted no time. "Tell me the results, Ryan!"
"It's not a short list, Dr. Elveron! He shows severe signs of rhabdomyolysis. We'll need to filter his blood and cycle in more as he is becoming anemic."
"His blood type?"
"It's O-negative!"
"I'm granting access to the Blood Vault, Ryan!"
Kaa-Kaa-Kaa-Kaa-Kaa
Ryan hurried off to fetch the blood canister. The vault required a doctor's access code, especially since O-negative was a rare blood type. Dr. Elveron activated his mic, and walked into the tank, preparing the equipment, and carefully inserted a double-lumen central venous catheter into Volkner's internal jugular vein. This catheter allowed for both the removal and return of blood, crucial for the filtration process.
"Start the CRRT." Starting the Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy. The machine hummed, filtering Volkner's blood, removing toxins such as myoglobin, and returning clean, oxygenated blood to his body.
"Begin IV fluid resuscitation. We need to ensure adequate urine production to flush out toxins." The team swiftly set up the IV fluids, while Dr. Elveron carefully inserted a line to maintain Volkner's hydration and protect his kidneys from further damage.
"Monitor his electrolytes closely. Rhabdomyolysis can cause dangerous imbalances in potassium, calcium, and phosphate levels," Dr. Elveron instructed. Nurses adjusted the settings on the monitoring devices, ensuring real-time data was available to detect and correct any electrolyte abnormalities.
As the CRRT and fluid resuscitation were underway, Dr. Elveron prepared a syringe with sodium bicarbonate from the tank's sterile compartment. "We need to alkalinize his urine to prevent myoglobin from precipitating in the kidneys." He injected the solution into the IV line, watching the monitors to ensure proper administration.
As the team worked with practiced precision, the advanced medical technology in the tank allowed for continuous monitoring of Volkner's vital signs, kidney function, and urine output. The team worked with precision, practiced and used the advanced medical technology in the tank to monitor Volkner's vital signs, kidney function, and urine output continuously.
Vanessa stepped in to review the scan results. "Dr. Elveron, we have several fractures. Volkner has a fractured ulna and radius in his right forearm, a fractured clavicle, and multiple rib fractures."
Dr. Elveron nodded. "Noted. Let's stabilize those fractures immediately."
Vanessa and the team prepped the equipment for fracture stabilization. The tank's interface provided a sterile compartment containing the medical tools needed. Dr. Elveron retrieved inflatable splints and bone stabilization devices from the tank. Carefully, he placed inflatable splints on Volkner's forearm and ribs, applying gentle pressure to immobilize the fractures. For the clavicle, he used a stabilization brace to ensure proper alignment.
With the fractures stabilized, Dr. Elveron continued to monitor Volkner's progress closely. The combination of advanced medical treatments and continuous monitoring provided the best possible care for Volkner, giving him a fighting chance to recover from his injuries.
Kaa-Kaa-Kaa-Kaa-Kaa
"I retrieved the canister!"
Ryan ran next to the tank, inserting the canister. The tank accepted the canister, registering the blood quantity and blood type. The onboard tank screen shown the blood bar filling up, displaying 4,000 ml.
"Good work Ryan! This will significantly improve healing speeds. Even if healing magic can completely restore him alone, the risk for mistakes is also higher."
Dr. Elveron sank to the floor, backing out of the tank, and manipulated the surrounding fluids to a nearby drain. Vanessa approached with a comprehensive review of Volkner's condition.
"Dr. Elveron, in addition to the fractures and rhabdomyolysis, we need to monitor for potential complications. There's a risk of infection at the catheter and IV sites. We should also be vigilant for signs of compartment syndrome due to the muscle damage and fractures."
Dr. Elveron nodded, his exhaustion momentarily forgotten. "Agreed. Ensure we have broad-spectrum antibiotics on standby and keep an eye on his limb pressures. His rib fractures also pose a risk of pulmonary complications, such as a pneumothorax or other respiratory issues. Keep the respiratory team on alert."
Vanessa nodded, making notes on her tablet. "We'll need continuous monitoring for electrolyte imbalances and potential organ failures, particularly liver and cardiac issues, due to the severity of his condition."
"Understood" He then turned to the control panel beside the tank and activated the machine's automated healing process. "Activating the automated healing protocol. This will assist in accelerating tissue regeneration and healing while minimizing human error."
The machine whirred to life, emitting a soft glow as it began its work. The liquid in the tank shimmered, its properties enhancing the healing process. Volkner's vital signs stabilized further, and the fractures and tissue damage showed signs of gradual improvement.
Dr. Elveron observed the process, a hint of a smile forming on his face. "With this technology, he could return better than new."
Knowing that while the automated system's quite advanced, the team understood that their expertise remained crucial in ensuring Volkner's full recovery, and thus they continued their vigilant monitoring.
