- Complete template-based healing across all biological systems
- Will restore to pre-injury state without intervention, assuming survival
- Primary concerns: metabolic support, foreign object removal
- Template-based healing limited to specific systems or regions
- System boundaries require special attention
- Primary concerns: protecting regenerating systems, conventional treatment for non-template areas
- Accelerated natural healing without template guidance
- Follows normal healing pathways at enhanced speed
- Primary concerns: proper alignment before healing progresses, risk of improper healing
- LUMA card should indicate regenerative classification if available
- Medical alert jewelry often displays type and affected systems
- Licensed Vigilantes typically carry specialized medical information
- HTR: Wounds visibly closing in organized pattern from inside-out
- LTR: System-specific healing (e.g., bone realignment without soft tissue healing)
- ENR: Accelerated but conventional healing progression (inflammation, clotting, presence of pus, etc.)
- "Do you have regenerative abilities?"
- "Does your body heal itself back to its usual state, or just normal healing but faster?"
- "Are all parts of your body affected or just specific parts or systems?"
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Support regeneration process
- Remove foreign objects (bullets, shrapnel, etc.) - regeneration will occur around them, causing recurrent damage
- Position patient to prevent template misalignment in major trauma
- DO NOT apply tourniquets unless bleeding exceeds regeneration rate
- Clear airway and ensure adequate breathing until respiratory system regenerates
- Administer D50W glucose solution for severe trauma (standard dose: 100mL)
- Apply thermal blanket to maintain body temperature
- For major injuries: Initiate superhuman nutritional protocol (SNP-R4)
- Vital signs every 5 minutes during active regeneration
- Watch for signs of regenerative shock: sudden hypotension, tachycardia, confusion
- Monitor for "template rebound" (over-regeneration)
- Most HTR patients can be treated on scene for non-life-threatening injuries
- Transport for: severe trauma exceeding 20% body surface, fully-penetrating injuries, head injuries with loss of consciousness, regenerative shock
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Differential treatment of template vs. non-template systems
- Common template systems (in order of frequency):
- Skeletal (38%)
- Integumentary/skin (27%)
- Cardiovascular (15%)
- Nervous system (12%)
- Other/mixed (8%)
- Treat non-template systems according to standard protocols
- Protect template systems from iatrogenic damage
- Document boundary zones for hospital staff
- Prevent cross-system complications (e.g., regenerating bone damaging normal tissue)
- Skeletal LTRs: Allow bones to align naturally before stabilizing surrounding tissue
- Cardiovascular LTRs: Standard hemostasis for peripheral vessels, avoid intervention for core vasculature
- Skin LTRs: Apply antimicrobial shield to prevent regeneration over contaminants
- Transport ALL LTR patients to appropriate trauma centers
- Alert receiving facility of specific systems affected
- Segregate and label template vs. non-template injuries
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Ensure proper healing alignment before regeneration advances

- Rapidly assess and correct anatomical alignment of ALL injuries
- Apply QuickSet? casts or splints for fractures (sets in 30 seconds)
- Close wounds with derma-approximators rather than standard sutures
- Irrigate wounds thoroughly before closure - infection risk remains high
- You have a limited window before malunion/improper healing occurs:
- Mild ENR (5-10× normal rate): 60-120 minutes
- Moderate ENR (11-30× normal rate): 10-59 minutes
- Rapid ENR (31-100× normal rate): Generally under 10 minutes
- Continuous assessment of healing progression
- Watch for signs of improper alignment or adhesion formation
- Document healing rate for hospital records
- ENRs retain normal scarring patterns but at accelerated rates
- Infection risk remains significant despite accelerated healing
- Possibility of permanent functional impairment if alignment is not corrected BEFORE healing
- Many ENRs will require manual re-setting of improperly healed injuries.
- Signs: Sudden healing slowdown, pallor, cold extremities, confusion
- Action: Administer glucose solution, thermal management, protein supplement
- Signs: Pain at healing sites, discoloration, abnormal heat
- Action: Document and report to receiving facility, do not attempt to resolve in field
- Signs: Muscle spasms, altered consciousness during intense regeneration
- Action: Protect patient, position safely, do not chemically intervene unless status epilepticus
- Signs: Irregular healing patterns, right lower quadrant pain, healing stalls
- Action: Position patient on left side, support ABCs, expedite transport
- Templates may be unstable or developing
- Greater metabolic demands relative to body size
- Transport to pediatric facility with metahuman experience
- HTRs: May prioritize vital system healing over peripheral injuries
- LTRs: May experience system overload or boundary conflicts
- ENRs: At high risk for multiple improper healings if not rapidly addressed
- Pain perception often intact despite healing
- Regeneration can be traumatic experience even for experienced regenerators
- Standard pain control may be ineffective or unpredictably metabolized
For all regenerative patients, document:
- Regenerator type and subtype if known
- Healing rate observed (use standard NSRA scale)
- Interventions performed and patient response
- Metabolic support provided
- Template conflicts or boundary issues observed
- Pre-transport healing status
