Original Title:
Ιδιαιτερότητες στη διαχείριση του παιδιατρικού ασθενούς σε περίπτωση μαζικής καταστροφής που έχει προκληθεί από τη χρήση χημικών, βιολογικών και ραδιενεργών παραγόντων
Translated title:
Management and treatment of pediatric patients in a mass casualty event thatincludes exposure to chemical, biological, radioactive agents
Summary:
Terrorism and mass casualty events continue to increase on a global scale.
Biological, chemical, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) emergencies are
challenging to the critical care providers. Additionally, specific
consideration should be given to children, as they are a potentially at-risk
and a particularly vulnerable population and both adult and pediatric critical
care specialists would be called upon to care for children in the event of a
CBRN incident. Children’s unique needs in these emergencies may not be well
understood by those charged with providing care in these situations, as they
are different from adults physically, developmentally, and socially. These
characteristics have specific medical implications for providing care in CBRN
disasters, making resulting illness in children challenging to prevent,
identify, and treat. This document provides information guidance for the
management and treatment of pediatric patients in CBRN incidents.
