Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1986
It is essential that emergency physicians understand ways to manage patients contaminated by radioactive materials and/or exposed to external radiation sources. Contamination accidents require careful surveys to identify the metabolic pathway of the radionuclides to guide prognosis and treatment.

Emergency department radiation accident protocol
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1980Every emergency department faces the potential problem of handling one or more victims of a radiation accident. While emergency departments near nuclear power plants or isotope production laboratories probably have a detailed protocol for such emergencies, a similar protocol is needed for the emergency department that may have to handle an isolated ...

Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1980
Abstract Thermoluminescence dosimeters have been used to determine the dose to victims of two serious external radiation accidents. Although these accidents differed significantly in source activity, geometry, exposure time, dose variation (10 to about 106 rad) to the victim, etc., the properties of the LiF dosimetry system were ideally suited for ...

Planning for a Radiation Accident
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1959With careful organization and training of both plant and community health facilities the confusion of radiation accidents can be significantly decreased. Rational approaches to potential radiation accidents are described and discussed. (C.H.)

Radiation Accidents and Their Management
Radiation Research Supplement, 1967Radiation accidents have been a valuable source of information on radiation effects in man (1-9). As contrasted with studies of therapeutic radiation, the accidents usually involve normal people. Furthermore, the follow-up clinical and laboratory studies of accident victims are almost always carried out with great thoroughness.

Emergency management of radiation accidents
Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians, 1978The Joint Committee on Accreditation of Hospitals requires that hospitals have a written procedure to cope with radiation accidents. Emergency personnel, specifically, should be prepared to manage radiation accident victims initially. Guidelines currently in use in over 15 hospitals in the United States include 1) advance notification to the hospital ...

Radiation accidents can pose serious risks to the public and workers. The key to successfully managing a radiation accident is to assess the potential hazards and take the necessary precautions. Planning and simulating an accident that may occur during the use of radiation makes it easier to intervene and control.

Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 1988
The reactor accident of Chernobyl in April 1986 has shown us all the dangers which are inherent ever in the peaceful use of atomic energy. The effects of exposure to ionizing radiation are dependent on biological effectiveness, on dose, on duration of exposure and on the age of the exposed person (the younger the graver).

Infections in Radiation Accidents
1990Although the radiation-injured patient may develop cellular immune deficiency or humoral immune deficiency, the major predisposing factor to infection, especially in the short term, is granulocytopenia. Infections associated with intravascular devices and as a consequence of blood product infusions occur too.
