ACE medical has 3 fluid variants {{Emdash}} plasma, blood, and saline. They all perform the same function, being to raise blood pressure and address blood loss.

A healthy and normal blood level is 6 liters. Severity is based on how many liters of blood have been lost. | A healthy and normal blood level is 6 liters. Severity is based on how many liters of blood have been lost. | ||

Medics usually have fluids on them in variants of 250, 500, and 1000 milliliters. | Medics usually have fluids on them in variants of 250, 500, and 1000 milliliters. 1000 milliliters is 1 liter. An individual with a ''stable'' (not necessarily ''healthy'') blood level is an individual with 5 liters or more. The greater the loss of blood, the more fluids which are required to correct it. | ||
The reason 3 liters is fatal is because, to stabilize, the medic would need to dispense 2000-3000 milliliters of blood into the patient {{Emdash}} this would ''catastrophically'' effect their carried supply of fluids. So much blood loss also has implications on heart rate and blood pressure, which may result in cardiac arrest, and thus a level of attention from the medic that likely cannot be spared in a war zone. | The reason 3 liters is fatal is because, to stabilize, the medic would need to dispense 2000-3000 milliliters of blood into the patient {{Emdash}} this would ''catastrophically'' effect their carried supply of fluids.
