I am making a semi-advanced medical addon for Garry's Mod. I was wondering if people would want to help my brain come up with ideas and tweaks.

Here is my original idea document:

Code:
Things to keep track of:

-Number of wounds

    *each wound adds 4 Bps(Blood per second) to blood loss

-Blood Level

    *for blood pressure

    *in 1000 units

    *in B, Blood

-Blood Pressure

    *85%-100% is great

    *70-85% is good

    *50-70% is ok

    *25-50% is bad

    *below 25% is very bad

    *Calculated by **Blood Level**/**Max Blood Level**

    *in %, percentage

-Consciousness

    *determines whether player is conscious

    *in yes or no

-Health

    *Degenerates 10% every 3 seconds when blood pressure is very bad

    *Generates 10% every 3 seconds when blood pressure is great

Items:

-Bandage

    *slows bleeding of wound by 90%

    *6 s to apply

    Explanation: When you bandage a wound the bleeding loss of that wound is reduced by 90%.

-Epinephrine

    *increase blood level by 100 B

    *increase blood loss for a wound by 2 Bps

    *3 s to inject

    Explanation: When you use epinephrine, the patient will increase blood level by 100 B but will also increase blood loss for each wound by 2 Bps.

-Morphine

    *will make a person conscious if blood pressure is above good or great

    *3 s to inject

    Explanation: When you use morphine on a unconscious person with a blood pressure good or great they will become conscious.

-Saline IV

    *constant morphine

    *last 20 s

    *no overdose

    Explanation: A constant dose of morphine being injected through IV.

-Blood IV

    *constant increase in blood level by 25 Bps

    *last 10 s

    Explanation: A constant increase of blood through IV.

-Surgical Kit

    *stop bleeding of a wound

    *10 s to apply

    Explanation: A surgical kit that will completely stop the bleeding of one wound.

-Blood Pressure Reader

    *reads out blood pressure of applied patient

    Explanation: A device that constantly reads blood pressure.

Features:

-Health Menu

    *Use medical supplies on player

    *Perform medical actions on player

    Explanation: A menu that can be access for every player that allows a medic to perform medical actions.

-CPR

    *performed until moved

    *increases blood level by 15 Bps

-Pressure

    *performed until moved

    *applies pressure to a single wound

    *reduces blood loss for that wound by 50%

Here is my current document:

Code:
Things to keep track of:

-Number of wounds [Head, Torso, Arms, Legs] DONE

    *Head loses 4 Bps

    *Torso loses 3 Bps

    *Arm and leg loses 2 Bps

-Blood Level DONE

    *for blood pressure

    *in 1000 units

    *in B, Blood

-Blood Pressure DONE

    *86%-100% is great

    *71-85% is good

    *51-70% is ok

    *16-50% is bad

    *1-15% is very bad

    *Calculated by **Blood Level**/**Max Blood Level**

    *in %, percentage

-Heart DONE

    *stored as whether heart is working or not

    *no pulse

    *pumps 5 Bps into the body

    *75% chance of failure if blood pressure is very bad

    *100% chance of failure if blood pressure is 0%

-Consciousness DONE

    *Becomes unconscious in bad blood pressure

    *determines whether player is conscious

    *in yes or no

-Health DONE

    *Degenerates by 5% every 4 seconds when blood pressure is very bad

    *Generates by 5% every 4 seconds when blood pressure is great

Items:

-Bandage DONE

    *slows bleeding of wound by 90%

    *4 s to apply

    Explanation: When you bandage a wound the bleeding loss of that wound is reduced by 90%.

-Epinephrine DONE

    *increases the chance of CPR by 25%

    *last 20 s

    *2 s to inject

    Explanation: When you use epinephrine, it adds 25% to your chances of restarting someones heart through CPR.

-Morphine DONE

    *undos the effects of surgical kits on player speed

    *must have had surgery performed

    *2 s to inject

    Explanation: When you use morphine, it will remove the limiting speed effects of the surgical kits.

-Blood IV (500 B) WIP

    *constant increase in blood level by 25 Bps

    Explanation: A constant increase of blood through IV.

-Surgical Kit DONE

    *stop bleeding of a wound

    *makes patient walk at half of normal speed and prevents running

    *8 s to apply

    Explanation: A surgical kit that will completely stop the bleeding of one wound.

Features:

-Health Menu WIP

    *Use medical supplies on player

    *Perform medical actions on player

    Explanation: A menu that can be access for every player that allows a medic to perform medical actions.

-CPR DONE

    *8 s to apply

    *performed to restart the heart

    *50% chance

Through Throw any ideas at me.
^I need help.

difficulty in breathing
Things stuck in throat (like tongue)
If a player gets knocked out (for whatever reason) there is a chance that his tongue will uhh "get stuck" in the throat and the injured player will suffocate if no action by a bystander is done.
-> What can be done?
The Paramedic has to stick his hands into the throat (aka just a loading bar) this has a chance of failing
If this fails the Paramedic has to idk the term but uh insert some sort of syringe into the neck where the patient can breath through.

Heart stuff
Idk how good the ECG will be, but if you can read the screen properly then perhaps att "Ventricular fibrillation"

Ventricular fibrillation

-> How to solve "Ventricular fibrillation"?
Well a defibrillator is needed, that's the magic tbh.
You could use adrenaline, optional.
If it fails the first time use the drug amiodarone - it eliminates electrolyte imbalance, increasing the likelihood of a succesfull defibrillation.
It's also important to use artificial lung ventilation and continous CPR until the ECG shows a regular heart rate.

atrial fibrillation

Ingame you could add like exhaustion as a symptom.
To not overcomplicate things the solution to that is to give the patient amiodarone its a antiarrhythmic drug.

I was writing a reply as to why I am not doing some of this stuff when I came up with ideas about a respiratory system and a more advanced but still simple cardiac system.

Tongue in throat:
It probably won't be implemented, but maybe I can add a way to block the airway with blood from a head injury.

ECG:
Real ECG won't be a thing. The only heart stuff planned for now is a heart rate which controls the amount of blood put in the body naturally. Will probably add a way for the heart to fail, so you can still use a defibrillator and CPR. Also, I am trying to find a way to calculate some sort of real blood pressure without recreating the human circulatory system.

Exhaustion:
Exhaustion is something that is definitely possible, and I am highly considering it.

I'm writing up a new document.

Would personally like to see a system like ACE3 in arma3

I am looking into how I can implement more of this into the addon. Totally forgot about this. Thanks

I have decided to split this project between two addons. The first having the ideas of the document first written up (with improvements). The majority of the server side systems are done. Client side work (User Interfaces), entities, and SWEPs are still being worked on. I suspect this will take me the rest of August. The thread will be updated shortly with a modified idea document which includes the project's current progress.

The second addon will take more time as it will be way more advanced. I am using certain bits of free time to continue research and write down ideas. I plan on having at least realistic vitals which includes breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, temperature, and glucose level. Wounds are planned to be way more advanced with fractures being implemented. I want to have medicine that will affect the body and vitals in a realistic manner. I for sure want to implement some sort of pain mechanic which will have certain effects on vision and movement. None of this is set in stone, I don't know how much of this is possible without breaking the game, but I have very high hopes for it.

looks good

More pictures of the user interface for the addon.

I have a question. Would you want to be able to use SWEPs (if possible) or just use the medical menu?
