Modding Diary - NICU Care

Hi guys!! Hope you are well! 😉

This week I worked on neonatal blood analysis.  

First of all I fixed the issue where the animation wouldn't play when operating on a pregnant patient, it only took me two days 🥲

but ya i got the animation to work (finally)

when you help a patient give birth prematurely you will see their newborn in the incubator

 and you can take a blood sample to perform blood analysis to asses their health
 your sim will grab the baby's ankle and disinfect it and take the blood.
also I was today years old when I found out blood are normally drawn from the heels of newborns instead of like their arms 🫥

the baby will start crying when the needle goes in

 

 

you will get a vial of blood sample in your sims inventory

 

 

and you can use the analyzer to analyze it

 
 you will get a notification telling you whether the baby is health or if they have jaundice, Pneumothorax or Anemia, it will also tell you which type of treatment to perform if treatment is needed. Excuse the llama icon, gotta fix that next week 😁

 

when Anemia is sever you will need to give the baby a blood transfusion, which is something I will work on next week.

 

Annnnnd that is all I have for this week! I hope you all are having a good valentines day 🥰
