Bit of a mental idea: Resuscitation aka "revival"

[mbainrot 4]

Bit of random reading has sprung up an idea for stand alone (maybe even mod?) dayz

Allow people to be revived (albeit with a realistic revival rate) using CPR and EAR (Expired Air Resuscitation aka Mouth to Mouth).

You could even be more painful by requiring the person administering first aid to have to check vitals (breathing? circulation?) before commencing resuscitation and requiring the player to get the correct rate of compressions, breaths with correct ratio of course all while leaving the player effectively vulnerable to zombie attack.

Maybe even have very rare AED drops :) of course in keeping with realism they have their appropriate uses (e.g. won't fix a flatline, etc)

edit: Oooh oooh forgot one more thing :) you gotta get the compressions in the right place :)

This one prob will end up in the shit ideas bucket but meh.

I'm not sure if this would work to well, as if you die, you automatically can respawn, I wouldn't want to wait for someone to come by and revive me, just to kill me one more time. Also if you are with a buddy it would make the game to easy and take out the perma death aspect of the game. This is was a pretty good idea though, it just wouldn't work in a game like this were perma death is a strong aspect of it.

By the way mouth to mouth isn't used anymore, it's proven to not work.

This might not work if the player is full of bullet holes?

I'm not a medical student so I'm unsure if this would help in cases of lack or food or water since the body still needs it.

If there was a drowning mechanic then yes.

I like where your going with this.

wouldnt work really well as 48% of the deaths(just a gues but i figure a close one) are from zombies mauling your bones broken etc. so revival would just continue the suffering for a couple of minutes. and other 48% of the deaths are from being riddled with bullets, 4% is self inflicted deaths for getting a bad spawn(for some people, me for example it is higher)

Resuscitation hardly ever brings a person back, apart from drowning victims, most of the time it is done so the people nearby feel they are doing something and dont go into shock or some shit and it might prolong the persons life long enough for an ambulance to arrive. As far as i know soldiers never do CPR because it doesnt work well with combat traumas and the success rate is so damn low.

And CPR is done in the event of no pulse, in Dayz your heart stopping would be caused by massive bloodloss and CPR would only pump more blood out of those holes.

I agree with this. As good as the idea is, it can very easily become unrealistic.

How about, if we want to mock our victim, we can "try to revive him" and when(allways) it fails there is this "AAaaawww" sound with a large audience and a screen "better luck next time"

Not quite on its own its proven when EAR is used as part of CPR the Air gets around the body making it work but also this could be added but they shouldnt suffer negatively for it so you know how you have that five seconds to wait before your aborting allows you to create a new person well during that five seconds and for another 10/20 seconds after the characters profile can be saved and what happens is they get a Notification like "Your previous Character can been saved" and you can click "Be saved" or something like "Pass on" For death by Zombie and Bullet you need Bandages and Blood bags which dont quite help too well but CPR doesnt pump almost all your blood out as fast as possible and it only works once in a blue moon but an AED could spawn with a rate similar to the Ghille suit in Army Medical Camps and 35% of the time in Hospitals require Batteries or get burned out after one use and when you use it provided you have taken Steps to assure survival they are revived (Starvation and Thirst no CPR) and Drowning is just CPR a negative part would be upon Revival they would still have grey screen blood balancing blood loss Revival with Reality sure is tricky

^---- emergency operators tend not to instruct people over the phone on how to do both as often it results in poor compression timings

Of course we wouldn't want the success rate to be 100% :) more like 5-15% otherwise it kinda defeats the point of permanently dying.

^--- you would hope people would be smart enough to patch up the wounds enough to reduce the bleeding but it could be a twist :) If you don't patch someone up before attempting to revive they just piss more blood everywhere.

edit: and as i said the idea was a case of mental diarrhea :P

This seems good.

OH DANG IT I WAS JUST SHOT TEN TIMES WITH A DMR!

Medic "its okay, giving you mouth to mouth will fix that"

Death is part of dayz. I think the only way of doing this is your guy automatically falls unconscious at 1500 or less blood and won't wake up without aid from a survivor. He will die in 10 minutes and can surcide at any time. He can't type either to prevent people from going into side.

And yes he can be finished off even if the person finishing him doesn't have a weapon. A "finish" option will be available so I am unarmed and pass by one of these people and want his loot I can choke him to death.
