The Medical Management in Patients Exposed to Weapons of Mass Destruction

Summary

Observation study measuring medical response in contaminated environment.

Conditions

• Chemical Injury
• Chemicals; Intoxication
• Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
• Distress Respiratory Syndrome
• Medical Emergencies

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Clinical interventions performed in acute settings (contaminated environment)

Any clinical intervention performed on the patient inflicted by at least one of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) weapons in acute settings (from the incident site up to his/her admission to the clean zone of a emergency room or its equivalent (ie.: walking clinic).

PROCEDURE

Protection (clinician and patient)

As interrelated competence of the clinical intervention, any protection procedure and capability applied on the patient inflicted by at least one of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) weapons in acute settings (from the incident site up to his/her admission to the clean zone of a emergency room or its equivalent (ie.: walking clinic). Concerning the clinician, the protection implied for his/her own safety and for the patient to whom she/he was in closed/contact with.

PROCEDURE

Decontamination (clinician and patient)

As interrelated competence of the clinical intervention and protection, any decontamination procedure and capability applied on the patient inflicted by at least one of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) weapons in acute settings (from the incident site up to his/her admission to the clean zone of a emergency room or its equivalent (ie.: walking clinic). Concerning the clinician, the protection implied for his/her own safety and for the patient to whom she/he was in closed/contact with. This crucial step is usually expected prior the patient's transfer into a clean zone like the emergency room or its equivalent.
