The release of chemical agents can cause loss of life and result in major incidents. Chemical agent-related major incidents require a modified response by emergency services due to the chemicals' transmissibility, lethality, latency and persistence. In general, modifications to casualty flow, triage and treatment are made to reduce transmissibility, and lethality of chemical hazards. This article, the second of a two-part series on nerve agents, describes the adapted response and explains how emergency nurses must be familiar with principles of care including incident and casualty management.
化学制剂的释放会导致人员伤亡并引发重大事件。由于化学制剂具有传播性、致命性、潜伏性和持久性,与化学制剂相关的重大事件需要紧急服务部门采取调整后的应对措施。一般来说,要对伤员流动、分诊和治疗进行调整,以降低化学危害的传播性和致命性。本文是关于神经毒剂的系列文章的第二篇,描述了适应性应对措施,并解释了急诊护士必须如何熟悉包括事件和伤员管理在内的护理原则。
