=Main Sickbay=
*''Main Article: [[Sickbay]]''
These facilities provide the medical staff with an impressive complement of tools with which to
handle an extraordinary range of medical problems for both known and presently unknown
species. Capabilities include a fully equipped medical laboratory with advanced bio-assay and
life form analysis hardware. Also available are nanotherapy, genetic sequence, and
viro-therapeutic equipment. Medical lab capabilities can be bolstered by employing the lab
services of one or more shipboard science department.

=Surgical Suites=
A key element to the medical intensive-care unit is the biobed sensor and support unit. This
orthopedically designed hospital bed incorporates a basic array of bio-function sensors that can
be tied into a variety or remote medical instruments including the medical tricorder. Also
incorporated are a number of medical gas and fluid connect points for various devices, including
the surgical support frame.

A vital tool in nearly all surgical procedures is the surgical support frame (SSF), or 'clamshell' as
it is sometimes called. The SSF not only maintains a sterile environment for most surgical
procedures, but also incorporates several vital diagnostic and life support tools. These include a
battery of bio-function sensors, supplementing those provided by the biobed and by the
overhead medical equipment array. The SSF is capable of automated administration of
intravenous medication as well as cardiovascular support and emergency defibrillation. A variety
of surgical support frame types are available for different procedures, as well as for different life
form types. Most biobed units are designed to accept surgical support frame.

Surgical procedures and other intensive care procedures are accomplished at the primary
biobed, located at the center of each sickbay ward or surgical suite. Above this biobed is an
overhead cluster of diagnostic bio-function sensors. This array also incorporates a low-level
force field generator that can be used to reduce the chance of potentially harmful
microorganisms entering or leaving the biobed area. Not that this force field is of relatively
limited utility and is not adequate to maintain a totally sterile environment sufficient for surgical
procedures or to satisfy biohazard protocols
=ICU=
Most medical treatments occur in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit), which has several biobeds,
which can perform all the functions of a medical tricorders MP unit.
=Null-gravity Therapy Ward=
When a person’s injuries are severe to the point they are not able to bear weight on a lower
extremity or they have extreme pain during motion, the Null-grav ward is used to remove any
downward pull on the limb from gravity.
=Morgue=
:''Main Article: [[Morgue]]''
The purpose of the morgue is two-fold. It is to store bodies of deceased crewmembers and
family who resided shipside or station-side. The morgue is also designed to handle autopsies
not only of crewmembers and family, but also of alien physiologies.
=Biohazard Unit=
The biohazard unit is designed to handle a situation where someone has been exposed to a
bio-hazardous material. This unit allows isolation from the rest of the ship air and water supply
as well as for decontamination of the pathogen or other bio-hazardous material.
=Isolation Unit=
The isolation unit is designed for the isolation of a patient who could contaminate the ships
population through direct contact, indirect contact, or airborne means. This unit keeps the
patient completely isolated from the ships population. Even the air used in this unit is filtered by
a different system and is not spread throughout the ship.
=Dental Care Office=
Dentistry also falls under the jurisdiction of the Medical Department. The Dental care office is
expressly for that, dentistry. A tech specialized in dentistry will care for the teeth of those
onboard ship in this office.
=Nursery=
The nursery is where babies are kept for at least the first few hours of their lives while their
mothers recover from childbirth. Also babies who have had troubles during the birth or babies
who have special needs are kept here for treatment.
=Laboratory=
:''Main Article: [[Medical Lab]]''
The laboratory onboard a starship or station is equipped to handle most work ups that need to
be done whether it be culturing an unknown bacteria or running tests on blood that can be done
on a tricorder. Almost anything that can’t be done on a tricorder or a biobed sensor panel can be
done in the laboratory.
=Physical Therapy Unit=
Its name states its basic purpose. This unit is designed for and houses equipment used in
physical therapy. If and when a crewmember is injured to an extent that even surgery cannot
fully repair, physical therapy is done in this unit.
=Radiation Therapy Unit=
When a crewmember has been exposed to near fatal levels of radiation for a short time or has
been exposed to harmful levels of radiation over a long period, the treatments found in this unit
can help save lives.
=Critical Care Unit=
This is a unit where critically ill patients can receive more comprehensive treatment. Many times
when a doctor has exhausted all of his or her treatment options for a terminally ill patient, the
patient will spend the rest of onboard ship time here.
=Aide Stations=
Aide stations are very similar to a mini Sickbay. They can do many things that main sickbay can
do but they have no other lab facilities or specialized treatment facilities attached. If a person
with serious injuries is brought to the aide station, stabilizing medical treatment can be given
and then the patient will be sent to main sickbay where they can obtain more comprehensive
treatment.
=Extra Emergency Medical Facilities=
In large-scale medical emergency situation, all shuttle bays can be converted to medium- and
intensive care hospital facilities using quick-deploy emergency hospital modules. Additionally,
lesser numbers of overflow patients can be handled by conversion of guest quarters to medical
intensive-care units.
