Medical Management of Radiation Accidents by Kenneth S. Cohen Pdf
Although radiation accidents are rare and often complex in nature, they are of great concern not only to the patient and involved medical staff, but to the media and public as well. Yet there are few if any comprehensive publications on the medical management of radiation accidents. Medical Management of Radiation Accidents provides a complete refe

The Medical Basis for Radiation-Accident Preparedness by Robert C. Ricks,Mary Ellen Berger,Frederick M. O'Hara, Jr. Pdf
Major radiation accidents cause widespread and common psychosocial problems independent of cultural, ethnic, political, and socioeconomic aspects of the location of the accident. As a doctor, nurse, or emergency room staff you are the first line of defense when these accidents happen. New developments over the past several years enable physicians to enhance survival and ease the discomfort of patients injured by radiation. The Medical Basis for Radiation-Accident Preparedness: The Clinical Care of Victims presents the current state-of-the-art in radiation medicine and focuses on the practical issues of importance to the clinicians and nurses who have responsibility for diagnosing, treating, and caring for the radiation-accident patient. Topics range from dose assessment to socioeconomic considerations, with extensive analyses of treatment options for exposure to different parts of the body. As a special feature, the work supplies case histories of six recent significant radiological accidents and also includes bibliographic references and index. You don't know when you may be involved in treating radiation-accident patients. In today's uncertain world, it could happen at any time. Drawing on the expertise of a wide variety of contributors, both within and outside of the field of radiation management, The Medical Basis for Radiation-Accident Preparedness: The Clinical Care of Victims provides further insight into the complex care and teamwork needed in the management of the acutely injured patient.
Medical Management of Radiation Accidents by Theodor M. Fliedner,I. Friesecke,K. Beyrer Pdf
This text from the British Institute of Radiology provides an international standard for the evaluation of radiation-induced health impairments, which should make a useful contribution to the harmonization and standardization of the Medical Management of Radiation Accidents.
Medical Management of Radiation Injuries by IAEA Pdf
This publication focuses on the medical management of individuals involved in radiation emergencies, especially those who have been exposed to high doses of ionizing radiation. Its primary objective is to provide practical information, to be used for treatment decisions by medical personnel during a radiation emergency. It also addresses general and specific measures for the medical management of individuals who have been internally contaminated with radionuclides. This publication is complementary to other publications developed by the IAEA in the medical area of radiation emergencies.
Medical Management of Radiation Accidents, Second Edition by Fred A. Mettler,Charles A. Kelsey,Robert C. Ricks Pdf
This highly-informative text covers radiation accident management and the basis for management decisions. The scope of this important work includes the historical aspects of radiation accidents with specific case histories where necessary. Basic mechanisms of radiation injury at cellular organ and whole body levels are included, along with perspectives in radiation exposure with references to common exposure. The various types of radiation accidents, including irradiation and contamination, are also discussed.
Treatment of Radiation Injuries by Doris Browne Pdf
The proliferation of radioactive materials in industry, in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine, in scientific and medical research, in the military, and as a source of energy has increased the likelihood of accidental exposure to ionizing radiation. Further, the number of individuals exposed in accidents, such as Chernobyl, U. S. S. R. ; Goiania, Brazil; and San Salvador, El Salvador, underscores the potential for large-scale radiation accidents. Because of these accidents, health care providers have found themselves treating patients with acute radiation injuries and subsequent complications. Often the radiation injuries are combined with burns or other trauma and the infectious and immune complications associated with such injuries. The treatment of victims of these accidents has provided important information about the medical management of radiation casualties. However, development of techniques to improve the diagnosis and treatment of radiation injuries, to collect follow up data on survivors, and to determine the long-term effects of uncontrolled radiation exposure must continue. The Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, and its Medical Radiobiology Advisory Team sponsored the First Consensus Development Conference on the Treatment of Radiation Injuries in Washington, DC, on May 10-13, 1989. The proceedings of the conference are presented in this volume, which we hope will serve as a reference for clinicians and basic research scientists who require knowledge of the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of radiation injuries. This conference was designed specifically to address the areas of hematopoietic injury, infectious complications, and combined injury.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Radiation Injuries by International Atomic Energy Agency Pdf
The main purpose of this report is to assist physicians involved in the early medical handling of radiation victims to apply prompt diagnostic measures and emergency treatment. Special emphasis is given to localized radiation injuries, which are the most frequently occurring direct health effects observed from ionizing radiation. The lessons learned from the accidents at Chernobyl (Ukraine, 1986), Goiânia (Brazil, 1987), San Salvador (El Salvador, 1989), Soreq (Israel, 1990) and Nesvizh (Belarus, 1991) on the early medical handling of radiation injuries have been incorporated into this report.
Handling of Radiation Accident Patients by Thomas A. Carder Pdf
This book provides guidelines, procedures, and techniques for emergency support personnel involved with handling radiation accident patients. Prepared by a former emergency medical responder, this book amplifies the level of radiological response training provided to emergency medical technicians and emergency room physicians and nurses. Supporting graphics, references, and a glossary help readers understand the critical aspects of emergency trauma treatment.
Planning the Medical Response to Radiological Accidents by International Atomic Energy Agency Pdf
This Safety Report was jointly sponsored by the IAEA and WHO. It outlines the roles and tasks of health authorities and hospital administrators in emergency preparedness for radiological accidents and provides information relevant to the integration of medical preparedness into emergency plans.
