===[[File:O2med.png]] <font color=blue>Suffocation</font>===
This is the first and most important to look out for. It is not visible on the body, but people suffering from it will ''gasp for air''. If you take 50 or more suffocation damage, you faint. On the Health Analyzer, it is the leftmost, <font color=blue>blue</font> damage type.

'''Ways of getting damaged:'''

* Being in an area without enough oxygen present will suffocate you.
* Missing a significant amount of blood will deal suffocation damage over time.
* Once you are in critical condition, you slowly take suffocation damage.
* Some [[Guide_to_chemistry##Medicines|medicines]] and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Aranesp|drugs]] can deal suffocation damage. 
* Some poisons, like [[Cyanide]], deal suffocation damage.
* Some [[Virus|virus]] symptoms can cause suffocation.
* Missing a pair of lungs.
* Missing a heart, or suffering a heart attack.

'''Treatment:'''

* If a person is in crit, you can CPR{{anchor|CPR}} them. Remove your and patient's mask and helmet, switch to help intent and click on them.
* If a person is not in critical condition, and they have no bad chemicals in their bloodstream, placing them in an oxygen-filled area will suffice.
* [[Epinephrine]] stops the suffocation damage that is dealt from being in a crit state. 
* [[Salbutamol]] quickly treats suffocation damage. 
* [[Perfluorodecalin]] very quickly heals suffocation damage, but deals a lot of toxin damage.
* [[Cryoxadone]] in a [[Medical_items#Cryogenics Tube & Freezer|cryotube]] or a very cold environment heal most types of damage, including suffocation. 
* [[Orange juice]] isn't the most effective cure, but it does help a bit when no other options are available
* If a person is missing a heart, replace their heart or give them [[Guide_to_chemistry#Corazone|Corazone]].
* If a person's heart is unstable, use a [[defibrillator]] and their heart should return to normal, or give them [[Guide_to_chemistry#Corazone|Corazone]]. Other electric shocks might be able to restore their heartbeat.
