What if a catastrophic event occurs? Will you be ready? Will you need a special level of protection? Is decontamination necessary? Do you have the right medications?
PER 211, Medical Management of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives, (CBRNE) Events answers these questions and more as you learn how to distinguish between different agents of concern that could be used in a major incident.
This course is a combination of facilitated discussions, small-group exercises, Human Patient Simulator hands-on scenarios, and traditional classroom discussions. Exercises are conducted in a CBRNE scenario using both adult and pediatric Human Patient Simulators to reinforce classroom lectures and interaction.
This course promotes critical thinking skills while utilizing the RAPID-Care concept. The multi-discipline make-up of the participants helps to strengthen information sharing, communications, and medical surge capabilities.
Topics Include:
- Environmental factors and protective issues for both first responders and the public
- Planning for potential consequences of a CBRNE incident
- Recognizing and identifying CBRNE agents and their physiological effects on the human body
- Appropriate self-protection measures and measures necessary to limit patient cross-contamination
- Assessment of adult and pediatric patients
- Basic decontamination considerations
- Appropriate triage methods during a CBRNE or terrorist incident
- Response to an incident involving CBRNE
- RAPID-Care concepts
