When the npc is hit, hide the npc and create the ragdoll. Trace the ragdoll so you can tell which way it landed and have it blend into an animation of getting up. Then move the hidden npc into place where the ragdoll is and set its animation to the ragdolls, kill the ragdoll and show the npc. Thats all I can think of with source in mind.
