2 Comments on “Burn with Airway Involvement: PFC Case Discussion 5”
Have you or anyone involved with TCCC / PFC looked at adding a Chemical, Biological or Radiation/Nuclear (CBRN) medical care aspect? It is apparent that we will eventually have to cope with casualties due to a CBRN event. We are seeing chemicals being used in Syria and Iraq by the Syrian military and ISIS. The potential for a dirty bomb, RDD or a tactical nuclear device being used is also possible. I am retired military (Army) and I was involved with Military Intelligence for over 17 years before going into the medical field which I spent the past 35 years as a Paramedic. I am now retired but work as a training specialist with DHS and train first responders in responding and managing casualties involved in CBRNE events. I think this is an area that is over looked in training for disasters and terrorist events.
