  • Critical Care Management of Chemical Exposures 4 the Patients Were Decontaminated Prior to Arriving at the Hospital
    Chapter 4: CRITI C AL CARE MANAGE M ENT OF CHE M I C AL EXPOSURES James Geiling, MD, FCCM Vincent M. Nicolais, MD, FCCM Gregory M. Susla, PharmD, FCCM The views expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the position or policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Objectives ■ Review measures of preparedness and planning. ■ Describe the purpose of decontamination. ■ Discuss how to evaluate whether a patient has been adequately decontaminated to enter the emergency department (ED), hospital, or intensive care unit (ICU). ■ Summarize the steps necessary to protect hospital staff: decontamination, personal protective equipment (PPE). ■ Review specific agents: diagnosis, identification, and management. If supposedly civilized nations confined their warfare to attacks on the enemy’s troops, the matter of defense against warfare chemicals would be purely a military problem, and therefore beyond the scope of this study. But such is far from the case. In these days of total warfare, the civilians, including women and children, are subject to attack at all times. Colonel Edgar Erskine Hume, Victories of Army Medicine, 1943 Fundamental Disaster Management Case Study A young couple was transported to your hospital’s ED from a local cinema. You have been told there are many others who are being cared for by the emergency medical services and are en route. The 18-year-old male and 17-year-old female were admitted to your ICU after intubation and placement on mechanical ventilation. They are unresponsive and diaphoretic, and they have constricted pupils with excessive lacrimation, vomiting, diarrhea, and restlessness.

  • Toxicological Profile for Acetone Draft for Public Comment
    ACETONE 1 Toxicological Profile for Acetone Draft for Public Comment July 2021 ***DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT*** ACETONE ii DISCLAIMER Use of trade names is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the Public Health Service, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This information is distributed solely for the purpose of pre dissemination public comment under applicable information quality guidelines. It has not been formally disseminated by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any agency determination or policy. ***DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT*** ACETONE iii FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for these toxic substances described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a relevance to public health discussion which would allow a public health professional to make a real-time determination of whether the presence of a particular substance in the environment poses a potential threat to human health.

Gripped by this fear, countries around the world have continued to research, develop, and test these weapons in the spirit of mutually assured destruction. Over the years, science and warfare have continually refined their methods of human extermination, bringing forth some of the most terrifyingly effective weapon systems ever devised.

Nerve agent sarin [2-(fluoro-methyl-phosphoryl) oxypropane] is an organophosphate (OP) compound that is recognized as one of the most toxic chemical warfare agents. Considering sarin’s high toxicity, being odorless and colorless, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) is widely used as its simulant in the laboratory because of its similar chemical structure and much lower toxicity. Thus, this review serves to introduce the development of a variety of fabricated chemical sensors as potential sensing materials for the detection of DMMP in recent years. Furthermore, the research and application of carbon nanotubes in DMMP polymer sensors, their sensitivity and limitation are highlighted. For sorption-based sensors, active materials play crucial roles in improving the integral performances of sensors. The novel active materials providing hydrogen-bonds between the polymers and carbon nanotubes are the main focus in this review. Keywords: carbon nanotubes, DMMP, chemical sensor, conductive polymer. Kompozyty na osnowie polimeru przewodzącego z udziałem nanorurek węglowych w czujnikach gazu DMMP – przegląd literatury Streszczenie: Przeprowadzone w ostatnich latach liczne ataki terrorystyczne jasno wskazują, że w wy- padku czujników do wykrywania chemicznych środków bojowych są niezbędne: ich wysoka czułość, szybka reakcja i stabilność.
