事故或蓄意的恐怖袭击释放危险化学品会造成混乱,混乱和看似不可预测的情况,使应急反应复杂化。临床医生面临着紧急治疗需要护理的患者的挑战,甚至在化学物质被确认之前。应急响应计划,重点是为医疗保健系统的可预测挑战做好准备,并将基本毒理学原则应用于临床决策,可以为混乱带来秩序感,并为事件的大多数受害者提供最好的医疗服务。
An accident or a deliberate terrorism attack releasing hazardous chemicals will create chaos, confusion, and seeming unpredictability that complicates the emergency response. Clinicians are challenged to urgently treat patients needing care, even before a chemical is confirmed. Emergency response planning that focuses on preparing for predictable challenges to the health care system and applies basic toxicologic principles to clinical decision-making can bring a sense of order to the chaos and provide medical care that will be best for the most victims of an incident.
