Saline Solution

Sign in to edit

Saline Solutions are medical items in ARMA Reforger.

Overview[]

« Saline is administered after serious bleeding to sustain normal blood levels. This is especially important to incapacitated soldiers, as the blood pressure needs to be high enough, to be able to recover. Saline can be applied in your inventory screen. To use the item on others, one has to equip it (i.e. use it from an inventory quick slot), approach the injured person and use it on a specific hitzone.
Field Manual
 »

Saline Solution bags are consumable single-use medical items that replenish the user's blood.[SCR 2] Once attached to a user's arm, the Saline Solution will rapidly replenish the patient's blood supply[1] over the course of 90 seconds[CmpIt 1][CmpIt 2] or until a total of 1,500 blood units have been recovered.[CmpIt 3][CmpIt 4]

It is important to note that applying a Saline Solution will not stop bleeding. A tourniquet or a bandage is still required to prevent further blood loss. Additionally, Saline Solutions do not provide a health recovery effect. Application of a Saline Solution should always be followed up with one or more doses of morphine to ensure a full recovery.[1]

Saline Solutions are available in two forms:

Saline Solution (U.S.)[]

Saline Solution (Soviet)[]

« An intravenous solution administered to maintain blood pressure levels after major bleeding.
Item Description
 »

Used by both Soviet military forces and FIA guerillas.

The Soviet version of the Saline Solution has a weight of 0.5 kg[CmpIt 9], takes up a 1x1 inventory slot[CmpIt 10], has a volume of 500 cm3[CmpIt 11], and has an object dimension of 10x10x10 cm.[CmpIt 12] Soviet Saline Solutions have a Supply cost of 3 units if they are retrieved from an Arsenal Box crate or a Medical Kit.[EnCat 2][EnCat 3]

Trivia[]

  • Saline Solution bags were not originally available at release and were only included after Update 0.9.9.47.[2]
  • The Saline Solution bag is always attached to the patient's right arm even if the user applies it to their left arm.
    • It also instantly disappears once its effect duration times out, or the user has hit the maximum blood recovery cap.
  • Prior to Update 0.9.9.97, Saline Solutions only lasted for a maximum of 30 seconds. This was later tripled by the patch to 90 seconds.[3]
