Medical Procedures
- Aortal Graft
A proceedure which patches a defect or wound in the Aorta on a humanoid. Autonomic Response Analysis Scan This form of medical analysis, commonly referred to as an ARA scan, is analogous to a 20th century lie detector test and is capable of determining whether an individual is telling the truth or not. Because it uses a baseline comparison with known recorded responses, it is only useful for species whose response have been documented and recorded.
- Autopsy
A Physicial uses this proceedure to determine cause of death.
- Basilar Arterial Scan
This procedure is used to detect damage to the basilar arteries of the brain.
- Bicaridine Treatment
Regenerative therapy for fracture patients. It is used as a substitute in patients that are allergic to metorapan.
- Bio-Spectral Analysis
This procedure is sometimes used on Trill symbionts and requires that an incision be made in the host body for the insertion of a medical scanner.
- Blood-Gas Analysis
Used to determine the ratio of gasious chemicals in a patient's blood, such as Nitrogen, Oxygen and others.
- Brain circuitry pattern
Medical diagnostic image mapping neural activity in a humanoid brain. The BCP of each individual is unique, and this serves as a postive means of identification.
- Cardiac Induction
Surgical procedure in which a patient's diseased or injured heart is replaced by an artificial device.
- Code White Resuscitation
This procedure is utilized on patients who have been brain dead for a very short period of time.
- CPK Enzymatic Therapy
CPK, or creatinine phosphokinase, is a marker of muscular damage. It is mostly used to diagnose and treat cardiac damage.
- Direct reticular stimulation
Medical procedure in which electrical energy is applied directly to the nervous system of a humanoid patient in an attempt to revive neural activity. A device called a neural stimulator is used in this procedure
- DNA reference scan
Medical test to confirm an individual's identity by matching DNA patterns.
- DNA Resequencing
DNA resequencing is illegal in the Federation when it is done to tamper or alter the genetic nature of an individual who is otherwise healthy.
- Electrophoretic Analysis
A process by which proteins are identified by putting them on a gel and running an electric current through the gel, then staining the gel and measuring how far the proteins moved in comparison to a group of standard proteins that were also put on the gel (bigger proteins move slower, in general.)
- Encephalographic Polygraph Scan
A brainwave scan used to determine truthfulness during questioning
- Hexadrin Therapy
This therapy is used to treat, but not cure, Cardassian victims of Yarim Fel Syndrome.
- Hyperencephalogram
Medical test that records and measures brain wave activity.
- Memory Wipe Procedure
This medical procedure is used to selectively remove memories from a subjects mind. Although successful on a variety of humanoid races, it has proven ineffective on Mintakans and Boraalans.
- Microcellular Scan
Gives a very detailed scan of humanoid cells.
- Motor Cortex Reconstruction
This procdure is to repair neurological damage. The first step in the procedure involves establishing the axon connection and testing for synaptic potentials. After repairing any damaged preganglionic fibers, the final step involves restoring the nerve sheath with a myelin regenerator.
- Neural Pathway Induction
This procedure is designed to stop the disruption of an individual's neural pathways that can occur after exposure to certain energy discharges. Although it can take weeks for the effects of such a disruption to appear, the victim must be treated at an appropriate medial facility in order to prevent death.
- Neurographic Scan
A level 4 neurographic scan, sometimes used to look for possible causes of hallucinations or pyschogenic reactions, is capable of detecting small defects in the parietal lobe of the brain.
- Neuropolaric Induction
This procedure is necessary to repolarize the neural sheaths of a patient whose basal ganglia have begun to depolarize due to unusual neural activity.
- Neuroregeneration Procedures
These procedures are used to treat, but not cure, Cardassian victims of Yarim Fel Syndrome.
- Osmotic Pressure Therapy
This procedure is sometimes required to stabilize the cell membranes of infant's after a fetal transport.
- Retina Scan
Retinal scans are often used to clear Starfleet officers before viewing or accessing secured information. High resolution scans of the subject's retina reveal a distinct pattern of blood vessels which are matched to a Starfleet database.
- Van Doren Cardiac Replacement
Using the Van Doren Procedure, an artificial heart can be implanted within a humanoid patient with only a 2.4% mortality rate. One of the most famous recipients of an artificial heart is Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who lost his heart in a fight with a group of Nausicaans in 2327.

Mylar II With reconstructive surgery it is possible to conceal a person's true race. However reconstructive surgery on an entire platoon or company is not always an option time or facilities wise. The drug, Mylar II, causes the top layers of skin and flesh to become more pliable. Thus with Mylar II injections a human could easily appear to be a Romulan or Vulcan. There is a limit to what these injections can do. A Mylar II Cardassian would take a few hours, be quite painful and require the use of some prostectics. None of these disguises will fool a medical tricorder or a very detailed inspection. These disguises may also require some form of makeup to be complete. Exclusively for Star Fleet Marine Corps Recon

Users also temporarily gain the overconfidence and a high pain threshold. This drug is considered unethical by the Federation.
-
Stokaline A mild stimulant that will revive an unconscious or stunned patient. It has no major side effects and is non-addictive. However, patients quickly develop a tolerance to it. Each time Stokaline is not effective, all future uses on that patient will be less. This effect is permanent and cumulative.
