The patient is awake and fully aware while in stasis. You can turn the beds off or on with alt-click.		These "[[Medical_items#Lifeform_Stasis_Unit\|Stasis Beds]]" can be found in [[Medbay\|medbay]]. They are [[Machines#Lifeform_Stasis_Unit\|constructable]] [[Guide_to_construction#Machines\|machines]]. You can buckle patients to them to put them into '''stasis'''. While in stasis they no longer bleed, no longer process [[Guide_to_chemistry\|reagents]] or [[Infections\|diseases]] (good or bad), and their organs will no longer rot.

	Important to note: if the patient is unconscious and has a large amount of oxygen damage, they're be unable to wake up on their own if they're still on the activated stasis bed. Either remove them or turn off the bed to allow them to recover. Many a patient has been left unconscious on the stasis bed for as long as twenty minutes! Don't subject people to that, it's infuriating.

	Cryotube uses the fact that [[Guide_to_chemistry#Cryoxadone\|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 common damage types.

	Then those people are trapped in powered off cryo tubes. Run to them immediately and either turn the tubes ON or let the patients out! Make sure cryo tube doors are also set to AUTO and not MANUAL. And make sure the patients are actually healing, or else you have to try other treatments instead.		Then those people are trapped in powered off cryo tubes.

	Sleepers were removed from most places May 2019 and replaced with [[#Lifeform_Stasis_Unit\|Stasis Beds]], but may still exist in some locations. They allow you to inject various chemicals, and have unlimited stocks of them. Keep in mind that when the patient's health is very low, sleepers become unusable, with the exception of injecting [[Guide_to_chemistry#Epinephrine\|epinephrine]].
